The United States Department of Transportation has issued Air Serbia a permit to engage in "scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail from points behind the Republic of Serbia, via the Republic of Serbia and intermediate points to a point or points in the United States and beyond; scheduled all-cargo services between the United States and any point or points and charter foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail between any point or points in Serbia and any point or points in the United States; and between any point or points in the United States and any point or points in a third country or countries, provided that, except with respect to cargo charters, such service constitutes part of a continuous operation, with or without change of aircraft, that includes service to Serbia for the purpose of carrying local traffic between Serbia and the United States", the notice says. In its application, Air Serbia states that it initially intends to maintain services to the United States by placing its “JU” designator code on flights operated by Air Berlin on its Dusseldorf - New York, Berlin - New York, Berlin - Chicago and Berlin - Miami routes. The exemption authority granted to Air Serbia is limited to operations conducted only on a codeshare or wet-lease basis with a duly authorised and properly supervised US or foreign air carrier. Air Serbia may not conduct US operations with its own aircraft and crews without further order by the Department. As a result, the DoT will act on Air Serbia’s permit request separately.
Can somebody please explain me those points and points? Be simple, please...
ReplyDeletethey can perform all types of flights to/from the US, but only via codeshare
DeleteSo they can not perform any flights to the US.
DeleteThey are only able to just add their code in the flights of airlines already flying to the US.
Thank you Anon 10:53.
DeleteIs this document a prerequisite for a direct flight permit? I assume that's what they want in the end?
ReplyDeleteIt is not the prerequisite. It is submitted long time ago as a test.
DeleteAnother sad day for doomsday fortune tellers around here.
ReplyDeleteDoes that decision means that ASL is now allowed to fly to the US?
DeleteNo. Keep Calm and Wait That.
DeleteWhen is that decision coming?
DeleteIn the press conference they said it was coming a week ago.
What's the problem?
Odlicne vesti za buduce letove za USA sto ce biti odlican napredak za ASL.

G. INN-NS, molimo Vas prevedite na srpskohrvatski: "Air Serbia may not conduct US operations with its own aircraft and crews without further order by the Department" i recite na koje to buduce ASL letove za USA Vi mislite? Hvala.
DeleteJa znam o cemu se radi i meni netreba prevodilac .
DeleteLetove sa A330 za JFK i jos neke gradove.

Please read properly as above...stop hold
DeleteAdmin, what is the official date of the quoted approval ? Or has it happened recently or long time ago ?

DeleteSo, Air Serbia has filed two separate applications, one for code-share and one for their own direct flights ? If so, were these two requests sent at the same time ?
DeleteThey were sent jointly as one request but the Dot says they are treating them as two separate requests. Read the text.
DeleteOK, thanks, got it. But is it common practice to ask for two, in fact, different approvals by a single application ?
DeleteGreat news albeit two years late. Customers from JFK, ORD and MIA will be able to purchase Air Serbia tickets, check their baggage all the way to BEG and collect miles on those flights to/from Belgrade. Good news are positive comments about Air Serbia ownership and effective management. Bad news is that further delays and deferrals might lay ahead. Focus is shifting from “if” to “when” will Air Serbia be allowed to start flying with own metal
ReplyDeleteGreat news, both Air Berlin and Air Serbia are swiftly moving ahead in responses to DoT decision. There is no waiting on AB/JU side, ball is back in the other court on both codeshare and exemption.
DeleteThat's actualy bad news for Air Serbia.
ReplyDeleteErr...what actually is the bad news in all of this ?
DeleteDa se ne lazemo, ovo prakticno znaci da je jun 2016. tesko dostizan. Takodje, ovo ne znaci i da je zahtev za direktne letove odbijen.
ReplyDeleteThe applications for non-stop flight are different and it is not part of codeshare partner approval.I am sorry to dissapoint you as looks like you were looking forward for AS not getting approval for non stop flights.
DeleteWhen would Air Serbia be getting approval for non stop flights?
DeleteIt was to be last week. Are they going to get it this week?
