Police were not so strict because they knew 99percent of people had previous security. All you had to do is to put your suitcase in scanner machine but they tolerated metal such as belt, change or wallet. They did randomly choosing person to full check. <br />Since December Airport Belgrade took charge on metal detector and diversion control, so security officers had to do full security check under supervising of one police officer who might be a bit unhappy of loosing its position.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-66808730331352021242013-06-01T09:49:34.600+02:002013-06-01T09:49:34.600+02:00Hmm I would disagree with you.

I don't think there are any chances of having a US carrier launch flights to Croatia (or any ex-Yu state). <br />As for Croatia, the main reason is because it can't be reached with a B752. The U.S. economy is in a really bad shape now and I doubt it will significantly improve over the next several years. <br />U.S. and European carriers have a hard time making a lot of leisurely destinations work. Just look at Barcelona, the market is there but the yields are simply not. Croatia will get its American tourists in the future but these will be funnelled via other hubs. However, this is good news for Croatia Airlines as they will still keep on handling them.

Just my opinion regarding this in more detail.<br /><br />I can see North America flights to Croatia soon, (within next 5 years) but only in the summer as a charters service. Very similar to what we already have with JAL and Korean coming to Zagreb.<br /><br />It won't be long before some American travel agent realise they can make money selling holiday packages to Croatia and when that happens I think we will see direct charter flights.<br /><br />In terms of direct year round RPT service, someone could try it but it wont be profitable and there are enough 1 stop options covering most of the Americas via a number of European cities which is already very competitive. It will be nice to see but very unlikely.<br /><br />On a side note, what is interesting is possible flights to Asia and Australia from the region.<br /><br />JetStar (not my favourite airline) had a huge order for the 787 Dreamliner about 80 confirmed and another 80 options. This has been revised to just 14 aircraft at this time. They are also trying to set up another Asia base in Hong Kong, they already have one in Singapore. <br />The plan when they had the 80/80 order/option for some of these aircraft where apparently to act as Asian hub busters for the Qantas group from where it was mentioned Qantas via JetStar may one day expand into Europe again. Probably Ex Yu was not high on the list and places in Asia followed by European cities like Rome, Paris and Athens would have been serviced first but it was still an interesting strategy but one I'm not sure they are still perusing.Q400https://www.blogger.com/profile/09330385169689869567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-92060352806448858792013-06-01T04:40:13.446+02:002013-06-01T04:40:13.446+02:00Probably not.
