Good to see they are not reducing anything after a few years bar the TLV flights from Dubrovnik. Next year should be interesting with the restructuring done I hope we will see some new routes out of ZAG.

I hope that next year they finally do what that previous CEO announced and start flying to Sofia, Moscow, Bucharest...

Excellent the routes to Venice, Athens and Nice. So tourists from Overseas cank link their Europe travel with convenient direct flights

Pristina 2 times per week?! What's the point.

An airline still under the impression that there is an iron curtain. Just look at that route map. They have so much potential to expand to the east. They could have attracted transit pax from the east before Air Serbia even showed up. Why no flights to Dubai? They have got the planes and they have the product. And before someone tells me how Croatia AIrlines is a western European airline situated between Spain and France, let me remind you that every western european airline has made the most out of the East Europe market, even mummy dearest Lufthansa.

SPU-OMO-SJJ-TZL-SPU will be very good especially for tourists

Does anyone have load factor on Belgrade - Zagreb flights lately?

From the beginning of operations LF have been 58%, without big difference between months.

58% is really bad, hope in summer season there will be some improvement

58% is not bad considering we are talking about slow months of Jan, Feb and March. It is important that Air Serbia feeds its network through Zagreb flights as most of passengers are transfer ones.

It would be interesting to see SF per flight; eg maybe morning ZAG BEG has 80% and evening 40% whilst morning BEG ZAG 40% and in the evening 80%. If that is so, once JU builds more connectivity, SF on all flights will improve.
I'd say not bad considering all factors and the need to have double daily precisely for connectivity. The rest could be resolved once connectivity bank is improved. That is regarding pure SF, route profitability is another question. But I don't think that 3 months time is nearly enough to draw any conclusions. Good to see more options for ZAG passengers!

Well, they do not fly to Dubai because they offer it via Vienna. It's stupid but that's how they work.

I just came across this ad. SkyGreece is advertising Montreal-Athens promotional fares for $899, all taxes included.

They also allow for 2 bags weighing up to 40 kilos.

Not bad. After all, that flight is around 10-11 hours. Have they started selling Zagreb tickets?

The price is not cheap actually, I found 3 weeks ago flights to Athens with Swiss for 860 Canadian,but of course with 1 bag.So overall decent deal if you have a lot of luggage which people from eastern Europe do, but still dont get how would lets say two pax have 160 kg of baggage. Canadian customs are very THOUGHT on customs so whats the point of bringing food from Greece.

* Canadian customs are tough on food

No Zagreb on the map.

BG-ZG
car:~120 EUR
train: 40 EUR (fixed dates promo)
50 EUR (flex dates)
bus: ~50 EUR
air: 110 EUR~150 EUR
At this price Air Serbia can't atract more business travelers. It's still more convinient to use a car because once you reach BG/ZG by air you then need to use taxis or ask somebody to pick you up and the drive you around between the hotel and wherever is that you are going. I think that the right price should be in the 90 to 100 EUR range. That price shouldn't be a loss-making one with an ATR.

Cause there's no demand for such flights, with growing tourism potential of Croatia there should be such flights but in meantime OU went in to EU imposed restrictions, which impedes airline to expand out of Zagreb till the end of 2015. April 2016 should see new routes and fleet expansion plans, till than OU must do with what it has.

Treba CTN u DBV vise da se i bolje brane leti.

OT: Ljudi koriste Tviter za česte poruke a Direktor BEG aerodroma koristi Tanjug. Nije prošlo dan dva a eto nove izjave preko Tanjuga. Ovaj put vesti su još gore, renoviranje aerodroma je sada prošireno na sledeće tri godine! Umesto da je sve počelo da se radi krajem 2013 i bude gotovo do sada! Kaže da će kapacitet biti proširen na 7-7,5 miliona putnika.

Malo matematike: ako će ove godine po konzervativnoj proceni biti 5 miliona putnika i uz godišnji rast od 15% (upola manje nego prošle godine a na sličnom nivou kao u prva dva meseca ove godine), to znači da će za tri godine broj putnika biti 7,6 miliona. Pa to je više nego što je on predvideo da će biti kapacitet za 3 godine kada se završe radovi!?!?!? Zašto onda raditi najavljeno kad neće biti dovoljno?

Zašto ne novi T1 kao što je predloženo ovde: http://s9.postimg.org/gdnbfnm1b/BEG.jpg

Čak i da je rast od 10% opet bi se promet suviše približio kapacitetu. Zato treba uzeti razumni kredit, napraviti sve sa slike (+ remote stands) za manje od 3 godine a ne čekati da prihodi polako kaplju i samo od toga graditi. Najgore je najavljeno "osveženje" Terminala 1, jer T1 ima samo ček-in šaltere. Ne vidim kako se od T1 može napraviti savremeni terminal, osim rušenja.

Zagreb to Brussels is 12 per week not 11

OT: What happened to Air Serbia's flight from Rome last night?

I was looking at some prices between Belgrade and Tel Aviv, Greece etc. and all i can tell, besides the routes they launched, Aegean's pricing seems to be much more intelligent than Air Serbia's. For example from Tel Aviv in May, Air Serbia takes you 300$ while Aegean the half of that. Also, everytime there's a promotion, Air Serbia offers it only for round-trips from Belgrade what i find plain stupid.

Ne lupaj gluposti terminal 1 je prazna konstrukcija koju mozes da lako modifikujes.

Koja je poenta linije nica dubrovnik, ko ce njom da leti?

wtf are you talking about? of course there is no zagreb on the map because there is no map because their page is still in "coming soon" phase. But you can book zag-yyz on skygreece through e-dreams for 730 euro v.v.

and you can measure distance? beg tlv vs ath tlv

If they go on like that they can soon pack their coffers in Tel Aviv, looking at that and some other examples i don't know who are the idiots Air Serbia hired in the pricing department.

Some smart as* like you had to come up. The distances discussed are TLV-BEG vs. TLV-ATH-BEG, but that seems too complicated for you to figure out on your own.

why OU hasn't flown to the eastern markets so far ? Simple. OU catered mostly to 2 markets: inbound tourism market, and market for Croatians who live, work or visit western Europe + US/Canada. With time this will change, but only when OU makes a point to expand/acquire new equipment...

This is a little OT but does anyone know why it is not possible to book VIE-BWK via ZAG (Saturdays) on OU website? There are actually excellent connections...

I wonder why they won't just simply offer one of the two TLV rotations from ZAG via DBV!! That way DBV wouldn't have lost the destination, and from ZAG would still be two flights per week, on top they could also sell the ZAG-DBV leg as it's domestic.

well in ASL pricing department something is clearly wrong if they sell tickets from Paris to TLV cheaper than BEG to TLV.
Thats all I have to say!

T1 jeste prazna konstrukcija ali kao sto kazu od toga se ne pravi pita. Sta mozes da napravis od T1? Lepsi checkin, prodavnice i slicno, a za ostalo i dalje slati putnike na T2? Gde ces na T1 da napravis odlazecu i dolazecu pasosku kontrolu, preuzimanje prtljaga, duty free, restorane, carinu a tek da ne govorim o nekom otvorenom prostoru sa pogledom na avione kao sto je Sky Court u Budimpesti? Zato ne lupaj gluposti, rusi T1 a ne modifikuj.

What's even funnier is that BEY-BEG on Etihad is cheaper than BEY-BEG on Air Serbia. One big LOL.

It is actually one big FAIL.

Tomorrow 747F to Kabul guys.

Of course, that is why there is Athens on the map...stop your lies.

This time it actually must be weapons since I highly doubt its dried peaches:D

Sure about that ;)

For those interested there are 138 passengers on today's Wizz Air flight to Larnaca.

There is a sizeable Roman Catholic community (mainly Albanian, but some Croats too) in Kosova that has rather close relations with Croatia. There is some O&D traffic between PRN and ZAG as a result, hence rather useful connection even if it's once a week. But, of course, there is a lot more connecting traffic that OU is missing out on through poor connection times, poor frequencies and (at times) poor customer service. Last year I booked a connecting flight via ZAG and my booking was changed twice (within a month) and finally cancelled because the only option I was left with was to fly out of SKP. Their customer service department seemed rather surprised when I refused to fly out of SKP. Well, if I wanted to fly out of SKP I would have booked out of SKP, not PRN. That was the last time I booked a flight with OU.

Dok je vas pacijenata koji bi sve da ruse znaci ANT dobro radi. Terminal 1 ne moze da se zameni sa nicim nalik na budimpestanski.

Once again, there is no separate page with the map on skygreece page. There is no Thessaloniki, no Budapest and no Toronto there as well. What you call map is not map but ad showing future skygreece flights between Athens and North America. And if anyone is lying here, it's you, not me, because you call map something which is not map, and because flights Zagreb-Toronto can be booked in the way I described before. But I understand how painful must be that Zagreb is connected to Toronto and Belgrade is not. With more long-haul destinations to come soon. Well, mate, sorry, that's life

No, it's 11 - Days 1,2,3,4,5 OU456 and Days 1,2,3,4,5,7 OU4456

Krecenje!

I was hoping for flights from Eindhoven to Zadar
