They go to their holiday houses or friends, relatives etc. So why would they go to Dubrovnik? What are they going to do from there? Rent a car to go to Montenegro? Waste money on petrol?"<br /><br />I'm the one who posted the comment about the pre-1991 flights to Dubrovnik. For the record, the distance from Dubrovnik Airport to Herceg Novi is 25 km. Prior to 1991, the transfer took 30 minutes. Now that there is an international border crossing between Montenegro and Croatia, it usually takes 10 or 15 minutes longer. The road is excellent and was fully renovated on the Croatian side a few years ago (as was the border crossing). For the sake of comparisons, it usually takes about 1 hour to get from Herceg Novi to Tivat Airport, as long as there are no major delays on the Kamenari-Lepetani ferry. As far as I'm concerned, I'd be very happy to have the choice of paying 30 euros for a BEG-DBV flight, as opposed to paying 100 euros on the Montenegro/JAT duopoly for a one-way flight to Tivat. Finally, please note that a few weeks ago the Governments of Croatia and Montenegro signed an agreement allowing Montenegrin buses to legally drop off passengers at Dubrovnik Airport, so it is just a matter of time until a regular bus service is established between Dubrovnik Airport and Herceg Novi.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-21498306462013088302010-09-03T14:20:21.945+02:002010-09-03T14:20:21.945+02:00Wow, 35 replies including this one :)

Don't forget that the Serbs are willing to go to Dubrovnik on holidays, plus 15euro bus service Dubrovnik-Herceg novi isn't that expensive with favorable air tickets! If that is to happen, then TIV would serve only for travelers who go to Budva, Becici etc...keep that in mind!<br /><br />BTW - I flew with MGX 3 weeks ago to TIV and while I was buying the ticket they said that they don't usually sell on-line tickets out of the current season...maybe that is the reason why there are no information about winter 2010/2011 schedule at Amadeus.JU500https://www.blogger.com/profile/01855136215721390300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-35820555102644014722010-09-03T13:51:36.746+02:002010-09-03T13:51:36.746+02:00In order to avoid to name bloggers as ANONYMOUS #...In order to avoid to name bloggers as ANONYMOUS #1, 2, 3 and 4 is this not better that everybody's got a nickname?Jimmy Wangnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-91147558001447484452010-09-03T09:48:32.583+02:002010-09-03T09:48:32.583+02:00@ anonymous

Its not like an airline can suddenly open routes and boom there are mass pax. It takes time for routes to become profitable, short haul always quicker than long haul. I think Wizz will just open these routes and see how they do and how the market treats them before having another ac based in BEG. Having said that, will Wizz form Wizz Air Serbia and register aircraft in Serbia? I think Serbian law requires them to at least have 2 ac to form as an airline in Serbia. We shall see i guess :)<br /><br />As for DBV and Croatian destinations, i dont see anything happening there until the politics in both countries change. So far, between the 2 countries we only have ZAG-PRN flights with OU. BEG-SPU and DBV should of opened a long time ago, along with ZAG.<br /><br />JAT shouldnt have problems and should focus on trying to attract more transfer pax. Maybe IKA, BGW for example. BEG as a hub needs improvement too.JATBEGMELnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-45014593444064965992010-09-03T09:19:59.163+02:002010-09-03T09:19:59.163+02:00Why on earth would Wizz Air destroy anyone if they...Why on earth would Wizz Air destroy anyone if they fly to Dubrovnik?

Tivat and that area has developped quite a lot since the break up of Yugoslavia and is far more attractive than before. That said, Jat has an advantage and that it has a lot of connecting passengers to and from Tivat. When I was flying to Copenhagen a few months ago at least 20 passengers were Danes coming from Tivat. <br />As far as I go, Wizzair should launch flights to Dubrovnik as only Montenegro Airlines will suffer in the case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-6281260705834562402010-09-03T00:10:35.422+02:002010-09-03T00:10:35.422+02:00That was just made up trash from a Serbian newspap...That was just made up trash from a Serbian newspaper.

I am sure that Wizz Air also plans on bringing additional aircraft to Belgrade, making it indeed a regional hub for continental transportation. But I would also like to see intercontinental transport take place. Belgrade is quickly becoming a regional hub and that is certain, but imagine if it has routes to North/South America. Would the low prices it has to offer, big companies like Swiss Air and Lufthansa would have to adjust to that new market potential.
