Air Serbia and Alitalia have expanded their codeshare. As part of the deal, Air Serbia will place its “JU” flight code on Alitalia’s domestic services between Rome, Perugia and Pescara, as well as on international flights between Milan and Abu Dhabi. The codeshare also covers flights from Rome’s Fiumicino Airport to fourteen cities, including Abu Dhabi (effective November 10), Athens, Berlin, Bilbao, Dusseldorf, Istanbul, Malaga, Malta, Marseille, Nice, Tel Aviv, Tirana, Toulouse and Valencia, bringing the total number of codeshare destinations with Alitalia to 37. In return, Alitalia will place its “AZ" flight code onto Air Serbia’s services between Belgrade and eight international destinations, including Abu Dhabi (effective November 10), Athens, Berlin, Istanbul, Stuttgart, Thessaloniki, Tirana and Vienna, increasing the total number of codeshare destinations with Air Serbia to twenty. All existing services between Italy and Serbia, operated by the two national airlines, are already part of the codeshare agreement.

Air Serbia's CEO, Dane Kondić, said, “We are excited to strengthen our codeshare agreement with Alitalia to offer business and leisure travellers more choice and convenience when flying on our respective networks. This development has considerably deepened our European network and at the same time made Italy more accessible to Air Serbia’s guests, who can now take advantage of easy connections over Rome to sixteen destinations in Italy and abroad". He added, "We last expanded the agreement in September 2015 and to see such growth in our cooperation in just one month is fantastic”. On the other hand, John Shepley, Chief Strategy and Planning Officer of Alitalia, said, “Italy and Serbia share strong ties in terms of business and commercial trade, as well as tourism. Thanks to the expanded codeshare agreement, Alitalia will witness new traffic flows, of both leisure and business travellers between Italy, Serbia and beyond”.

Why is BEG.aero so slow to update those codeshares? So unprofessional.
ReplyDeletewhy are all those who said that Alitalia wouldn't be working with Air Serbia so silent now ?
ReplyDeleteWhy do you think it took this long? For a whole year they were ignoring them. Just like with AB, EY had to act.
Deleteit probably took so long, because Alitalia were sorting out their own internal shit - including ownership !
DeleteWhich is why they completely ignored JU, as it was stated on here!
DeleteWhy is there no JU codeshare to South America on Alitalia flights? I know that it is not the most pressing issue, however, we were able to find decent prices for South American destinations via Paris (on AF) on Air Serbia website and that has been long gone. Perhaps codeshare on certain N. American destinations would work as well.

DeleteI can imagine that with 2016 Olympics, there will be people travelling to Brazil. So, it is pressing issue as people are making plans now.
Some Alitalia flights are really questionable (Berlin,Dusseldorf, Istanbul).
