Air Serbia has scheduled flights from Belgrade to Kiev, which have been previously announced. Services will commence on June 16 and will run six times per week, each day with exception to Wednesdays. Flights will operate with a leased Adria Airways Bombardier CRJ900 aircraft. Tickets are already on sale and can be purchased through the airline's website. Further flight details can be found here.
And Hamburg as well.
ReplyDeleteWet lease? Tragično.
ReplyDeleteKatastrofa. Zamisli otvaraju Kiev.
ReplyDeleteevo ljubomora je vec pocela:) Boli vas malo da se AS jos siri:)
DeletePre bih rekao da je to bila ironija, na prethodni komentar...
DeleteWhich JP plane will it be, which CRJ900? Is it going to wear JP or JU livery?
ReplyDeleteProbably the one on the picture in the link they provided here. It's all white.
DeleteAdria livery! Wet lease...
DeleteOn Air Serbia's Facebook page they wrote that it won't be in Air Serbia's livery.
DeleteI think it will be in an all white livery because if I am not mistaken Adria doesn't paint their planes, but just puts decals on. I think those are cheap and quick to take off and put on again.
Can this be financially successful considering it is a wet lease?
ReplyDeleteHas anyone found out why wet lease, as opposed to AS leasing another plane for these new routes?
Adria debt owed to the old Jat. Air Serbia settled the case and Adria did not have money to pay so they agreed to offer aircraft instead.
DeleteThis sounds kinda crazy. Do you have a source?
DeleteSource interna JP and can be cfmd
DeleteExcellent times for a long-awaited destination. This along with HAM shows how badly needed are this type of aircraft in Air Serbia's fleet. Question remains as to what'll happen of them once the temporary lease expires. I see Kiev regularly upgraded to the A319 during the peak summer months but i'm not sure about winter time. Perhaps it'll operate as A319 on a lower schedule i.e say 4 per week. As concerning the choice of airports in Kiev, i'm sure Borispol gave them a quite good deal. They must be desperate to bring in new airlines, such as the recent move of Aegean which used to operate to Zhuliyani, which has since been marred by a number of corruption scandals and hikes in fees.
DeleteThis is going to be a great summer for ASL.
ReplyDeleteJFK, KBP, and HAM will all increase connectivity a lot.
Hopefully Air Serbia concludes their negotiations with other airports such as Ohrid, because that would make this even better.
OHD, PRN, LED, and MUC would all be great and successful additions to the AS network, I guarantee it.
DeleteThey will not.
DeleteThe usual joke where u expect the known good JU C-class product and u fly on a JP CR9 which has only in row 1 a comparable seat pitch
What makes you think they'll be selling C on the CRJ?
DeleteI hope that JU starts indicating on it's website that these flights are a wet lease operated by another carrier. I think (not 100%) sure that this is their legal obligation. Same as JU advertising (and selling) their JFK flights without mentioning 'subject to gov't approval' which they only recently updated. In the US, they would need to state that the HAM, KBP, and SOF flights are operated by another carrier.
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of interest is that necessary? I remember once flying with AB metal, but it was an LH flight from London. There wasn't any notice at all
DeleteActually, it is important, as a pax is entitled to know if he is flying on a plane which is not operated by the carrier. If you fly LH operated by any LH regional airline, you will get this remark on the ticket.
DeleteThanks for the info, wasn't aware of it at all. Good to know.
DeleteAre you sure wet lease counts as flights operated by another carrier? JU surely has "Operated by" when it comes to code shares, and I think Augsburg, Cityline and the other are actually separate legal persons and these flights are really operated on their own behalf, not for Lufthansa proper.
DeleteFor example, this is the rule in the US:
Delete"In written or electronic schedule information provided by carriers in the United States to the public, the Official Airline Guides and comparable publications, and, where applicable, computer reservations systems, carriers involved in code-sharing arrangements or long-term wet leases shall ensure that each flight in scheduled passenger air transportation on which the designator code is not that of the transporting carrier is identified by an asterisk or other easily identifiable mark and that the corporate name of the transporting carrier and any other name under which that service is held out to the public is also disclosed."
(d) In any printed advertisement published in or mailed to or from the United States (including those published through the Internet) for service in a city-pair market that is provided under a code-sharing arrangement or long-term wet lease, the advertisement shall prominently disclose that the advertised service may involve travel on another carrier and clearly indicate the nature of the service in reasonably sized type and shall identify all potential transporting carriers involved in the markets being advertised by corporate name and by any other name under which that service is held out to the public. In any radio or television advertisement broadcast in the United States for service in a city-pair market that is provided under a code-sharing or long-term wet lease, the advertisement shall include at least a generic disclosure statement, such as “Some services are provided by other airlines.”
DeleteAs you've said, that's in the US. Where's it stated that it's mandatory in the EU, or Serbia, or Ukraine ? (the amount of "experts" on this site simply amaze me)
DeleteWell if they are selling a US-BEG-SOF flight, they sure would need to show that the BEG-SOF is not being operated by JU.
DeleteAnd, there's one more surprise to come ....
ReplyDeleteOne more destination or one more airplane?
Delete.... destination
DeleteOHD and LED.
DeleteOne more surprise? Ohrid is not a surprise, we all know that, but I noticed new Air Serbia job post for call center operator in Spanish. So it must be a new destination like Mexico City or more likely Barcelona!
DeleteAnother good thing is that they opened positions for operators in Turkish which has been long-overdue.

ReplyDeleteGood for the network but more inconsistency in the product.
