| Alitalia and Air Serbia to ease European Commission competition concerns |
Alitalia will give up some slots on its Rome Fiumicino - Belgrade route to its European competitors, with the Italian carrier under scrutiny from European Union aviation authorities after 49% of its shares were recently acquired by Etihad Airways. Sources close to the European Commission have told the Reuters news agency that the Abu Dhabi-based airline has been discussing possible concessions to offer in return for European antitrust approval. A person familiar with the matter noted that the carriers “are likely to secure EU approval if they offer minor concessions”. As such, the route between the Italian and Serbian capitals, which Alitalia serves daily, as well as other route concessions, may be freed up to European rivals such as Lufthansa and Austrian Airlines.
The European Commission has said it will decide by November 17 whether it will clear Etihad’s takeover of Alitalia. It did not provide details of the concessions, in line with its usual policy. In previous airline deals, the EU authority has demanded airlines give up airport slots, facilitate rivals’ access to connecting traffic or open up their frequent flyer programmes to ease competition concerns. Maurizio Lupi, the Italian Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, says that he sees “no obstacles” to the Etihad - Alitalia deal and expects their partnership to be fully operational by January 1. This is believed to be the first time that Mr. Lupi, who has been a key player in the Italian government’s negotiations with Etihad, has set a specific date for the alliance to launch.
Alitalia and Air Serbia hold a duopoly over the Rome - Belgrade route, making it unclear which other airline could step in to take the conceded slots. Last week, easyJet terminated its three weekly service between the two capital cities due to poor ticket sales. The budget airline is not the first to suspend flights between Rome and Belgrade. In 2012, Wizz Air cancelled the same route citing high seasonality. Wizz originally intended to operate the flights on a seasonal basis but ultimately suspended the service altogether. Both Alitalia and Air Serbia codeshare on each others’ flights on the route. During the first half of the year, Alitalia more than doubled its operations to the Serbian capital compared to last year.

Why JU code-share connections are so expensive. That is very bad deal with such a high prices, and to fly to France with 1stop for almost 500 EUR is more than expensive?
Also morning / evening flights to Podgorica will go with B737.
INN-NS
Still, the B737-300 should operate five times per week, two in the morning and three in the afternoon. I for one am happy that the old ladies are still flying with us.

I suppose this is a preliminary schedule, it will most likely be modified before the summer season. Tickets start from €100.
EC is also investigating Air Serbia and this could also affect outcome of that case. Does anyone have answers from that comment from couple of days ago, copied here:
Is there a case number assigned by EC for Air Serbia "ongoing inquiry" as is for Alitalia, for example? It looks like Alitalia might have to make concessions on BEG-FCO route and I'd like to see how will that affect Air Serbia case. If there is no formal case #, is there at least any provisional deadline from EC for Air Serbia? It's quite telling that bureaucrats will likely be done faster with Alitalia (Nov 17, I believe) than Air Serbia.
The European Commission will produce a favourable report on Air Serbia-Etihad because everything suspicious was taken care of. Plus, European airline have bigger fish to fry now that Etihad is building up both Air Berlin and Alitalia.

I mean are they serious -
The one responsible for this should get fired immediately!
What the heck o.O
A gospodin koji se ustručavao komentarisanja u Beogradu, ja ga najlepše molim da to ne radi. Ne radi se o nacionalnom ponosu ili državnom interesu, nego da li ste zadovoljni uslugom koju vam je jedno preduzeće pružilo za VAŠ novac i koju sa pravom očekujete! Siguran sam da bi vas i drugi putnici, bez obzira na nacionalnost, u tome podržali - a kompaniji svakako treba staviti do znanja kada nije u pravu i tražiti adekvatnu uslugu i/ili naknadu. To nije nikakva provokacija, nego najnormalnije ponašanje nezadovoljnog putnika koji je svojim novcem platio kartu.
Its difficult to navigate,where are arrivals ?
Where are the goddamn departures?????
Goddamn you ass***** ruined it !!!
They just wanted to make a site that looks western and all fancy.
Krelci su provocirali i naglas komentirali, svojoj izjavi nadodali poprilično nacionalističkih epiteta, i na kraju izjavili da od sad lete samo sa srpskom kompanijom. I pazi čuda da se našo neki jednak takav kreten koji ima kratak fitilj i malo pameti, te misli da je branjenje nacionalnog ponosa ponašanje jednako čobanskom ponašanju tih provokatorskih budaletina.
Koliko godina imate, 10? Cinjenice su da:
-ZAG nece stici BEG do 2017. sigurno, jer tada se otvara novi terminal, ovaj sada jedva moze i 4 000 000 putnika da izdrzi, ili ne moze?
-Hrvatska ima vise putnika u vazdusnom saobracaju od Srbije, ali i to moze da se promeni
-Ne mozete 7 aerodroma porediti sa jednim, time samo pokazujete koliko dajete znacaj tom jednom, a vidite da ove druge smatraju dosta manjim, sto i jesu
-Glupe izjave tipa "BEG ce imati ovo i bice ono....ZAG ce imati ono......" su apsurdne i nemaju smisao, osim ako nemate potvrdnu informaciju
-Ne razumem cemu to prepucavanje izmedju Hrvatske i Srbije sto se vazduhoplovstva tice, Hrvatska ima vise putnika, Srbija ima mnogo jaceg avioprevoznika
The end.
Neboj se ti za INN mozda jedna aviokompanija razmatra te letove za BEG ako im se bude isplatila jos jedna routa za Italiju posto tu routu nisu jos analizirali i ako dobiju Slot :))
I naravno da ce BEG vec sledece godine imati letove za USA :)

Yes,the old version was perfect.The new one is full of useless information while the most important things are hard to find.
What a failure!
Seriously how can somebody like this ?
Have you ever seen the old website?
Thatold site was one of the best worldwide.
I really hope for the Arabs to get the concesion!
They for sure would something like this never let happen !
Beg.aero looks as if it was designed by amateurs.
Far from it.
- on the home page, select English in the top right corner. Then click on the Map. Your page is back in Serbian?!?
- Click on English again, Map page is back in English. Help text says "In upper-left menu you can select level and view of the particular part of the airport. Then, in upper-right menu turn on and off elements of your interest." This is actually wrong, selecting level is in the upper-right, not left, corner. Next: text to select level in upper-right corner of the map is in Serbian ONLY. Good luck understanding what "Prizemlje" is. Same for the menu left of the map, it's only in Serbian. What is "Prodavnice"?
- Let's click on Prodavnice left of map. I see "STR Trafika" with info in Serbian only. Worst of all, there is a tiny picture of a GAP store! Seriously, a GAP store at Belgrade airport!!!
WTF someone needs to get fired over this. You need more examples?
Maybe they will change it?!
Svejedno, i dalje mislim da ako smatrate da treba da se kaže da nećete leteti iz provincijalne seljačije, odnosno ako su opravdali takav stav, onda im to treba i kazati. Šta mislite, da mi "domaći" u BEG nikada nismo pomislili to za Air Serbia, u odnosu na recimo Lufthansu? Ili za naš aerodrom u odnosu na minehnski?
Ne treba biti namerno uvredljiv ili bezobrazan, niti lepiti nekakve nacionalističke etikete, ali treba jasno reći kada nešto ne valja i ne štedeti odgovorne. Ako ste zaista pomislili na tu "seljačiju", onda su, verujem, to debelo zaslužili, jer očigledno niste neko ko je došao u BEG sa predrasudom ili a priori negativnim stavom - u protivnom ne biste ni došli. Ponavljam, vaš je novac u pitanju. Uostalom, to vam daje pravo i da ćutite ako želite, ali ja duboko verujem da samo konstruktivan negativan feedback može da dovede do poboljšanja usluge, naravno uz ozbiljnu konkurenciju.
Притом, ја сам сигуран да и Немци се радују када неки од њихових аеродрома претекне неки други. Али добро, пошто су то све западњаци, њима је све опроштено.
Also it is unusable on mobiles, while very slow on computers. It is optimized for tablets i.e touch screens only, % of which we know how many people use. This reminds me a lot the halooglasi.com website, same story. They could at least have offered people the choice between the new and the old version.
War natürlich neugierig zu sehhn wie schlecht die Seite vom Flughafen wirklich ist.
Aber die ist echt der Wahnsinn.Daß die sich überhaupt trauen sowas ins Netz zu stellen.
Ja bih se, takodje, uzdrzao od bilo kakvih komentara da sam gost na nekom aerodromu u regionu jer bi to sigurno uvek bilo pogresno protumaceno bilo o kom aerodromu da se radi.
Pozdrav iz Beg.
Whats different?
Does it possibly look different on different web browsers?
http://oi61.tinypic.com/3094vmu.jpg
But if I enter beg.aero in google search its showing the new one...
I have to say its really awfull that new one...
We should "flood" them with emails and compalain, demanding to return the old one.
What a waste of time.
When you go further to _all arrivals/departures_
the first sight is an awful lot of bloody red fields with useless info .
Then you scroll down and the green _landed at_field is sqeezed with little planes and numbers!
Ewwwh....
Its an overload of red colour ,numbers and letters that flow into each other.
No wonder you get a headache...
Its too much info squeezed into little place!
Complete disaster.

Thank you. If they get enough emails, they will have to consider returning the old site. As it is obvious here, nobody actually likes the new site better.
One user here mentioned that Air Serbia's Elevate magazine should include the airport map...lets hope it will not be this map :D
Time, effort and money wasted on this is disappointing, considering that BEG is far from a nice airport.
