US among Air Serbia's busiest markets



The United States has become one of Air Serbia's busiest markets, the airline's financial report shows. The carrier, which only serves New York within the States from its hub in Belgrade handled 72.257 passengers on the route in 2017, an increase of 53.4% on the year before, while offering a total of 95.614 seats for sale. According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics of the United States, the carrier's passenger performance between the two cities further improved during the first quarter of 2018. Based on the Sabre Airline Solutions system, New York accounts for the largest porion of passengers flying between Serbia and the United States. It is followed by Chicago O'Hare, Los Angeles and Washington.

The Serbian government has said that its financial support for the airline, which in 2017 amounted to just over twenty million euros, is primarily aimed at developing markets such as the United States. The Serbian Finance Minister and the former Chairman of the Air Serbia Supervisory Board, Siniša Mali, said, "The government made a strategic decision that Air Serbia should develop the North American market, as the most affluent and most important to us. Since the flights to New York were launched [in June 2016], Air Serbia has handled over 150.000 passengers on this route". He added, "As part of our tourism development strategy until 2025, the Serbian government has decided to extend its support to whatever contributes to tourism growth. In this case, it is flights to North America. Without that support there would be no service to the US. However, Air Serbia's financial performance would remain unchanged".

The Minister noted that both the airline and the government review the performance of the New York route each year. "The investment is relatively small compared to the return on investment", Mr Mali said. The Serbian government noted last November that Air Serbia was considering Toronto as its second long haul destination after New York. At the time, it said preparations for the new service were underway and in the advanced planning stages, however, it emphasised that there was still a lot of work to be done concerning the Air Service Agreement, which has since been concluded. Toronto's Pearson Airport confirmed earlier this year that it held talks with Air Serbia over the resumption of flights between Belgrade and Canada's largest city. A spokesman for the Greater Toronto Airports Authority, Robin Smith, said, "At this time, Air Serbia's service will not be starting this summer, but we will continue to work with Air Serbia to find an opportunity to add Toronto Pearson as one of their newest travel destinations". Mr Smith added, "We will make an announcement in cooperation with Air Serbia if there is any future development of service to Toronto Pearson".

      @Nemjee Australia by statistic has ~100,000 Serbs. I’d be interested to see how 60% of an Aegean A320 was Serbs travelling from Australia. The connection with Scoot is shocking ~7 hours in SIN on the AU-GR and overnight on the way back in SIN. Prices are not massively different unless you take no meals, no luggage, no prearranged seating. It might seem like it because they are already in Serbia on holiday and doing side trips to Greece. The market here is not interested in anything beyond EY/QR/EK. They change travel plans to suit availability with these airlines.

      Delete
    18. @Nemjee I totally agree. I doubt the majority of Australian passengers would punish themselves with such long connection times. The most popular way that I know of is Etihad and Emirates/Fly Dubai to Belgrade.

The Ministry has launched a four million euro project entitled "Positioning Croatia as a airline destination", with plans to double its budget next year.

      No it is not, Croatia can't subsidize or give any money to anyone that gives the other party commercial advantage over the market dominance, it is in the EU law, it is a benchmark law that prevents state intervention or assistance to any commercial entity. EU Articles 107, but also article 36, 84, 81, 82, 88 and 101 are relevant here.

      Croatia isn't permitted to give any form of subsidies to anyone, in any form, any of Croatia's state agencies aren't permitted to do any form of subsidies to anyone.
      What Croatia did in promoting Croatia, is upping its marketing campaign in Japan, China and S. Korea by €8 million.

      This is promotion of Croatia in these markets through various campaigns, be it trade, tourism or defence. However, recent world cup result has given Croatia so much positive PR, the country couldn't buy so much pr for a $billion let along measly $9 million.

      Last time Croatia subsidized a company, in this case Croatian Airlines, the airline was ordered to pay back every penny, 587 million kuna, it happened in 2012 and airline almost went bankrupt as a result. The airline under the deal with the EU had to go restructuring and pay back in 4 payments every penny.

      Croatia as an EU member must obey EU rules and regulations, these are strictly enforced and state aid isn't permitted in any form. There is a clincher for national airlines, they are allowed to receive one-off payment once every 10 or so years to cope with fuel price hikes.

      Rule introduced to help Alitalia survive, however as we know now, Alitalia went bankrupt, however LOT has also used the same rule to survive. Maximum payment allowed is €150 million. Most likely in 2023, Croatian Government will provide such payment to OU to pay for new planes, the full payment would allow OU tom purchase additional new planes on top of 4 A320 Neo ordered.

      Delete
    22. Anonymous15:50

      Forgot to mention also, The one off payment must be paid back in full, however the time frame is 10 years.

      Also, if Croatian government by some magic managed to subsidize Emirates, Lufthansa and other competitors would immediately inform the EU for unfair competition and subsidies given to emirates or anyone else for that matter.

      Any private EU citizen can report subsidies or illegal state aid to the EU Commission and they'll investigate.

      If you know someone with the EU passport, ask them to lodge a complaint against Croatian government for subsidizing Emirates, if you feel so strongly about Croatian government subsidies. lets see where that takes you.

      PS, I know you're trolling, need to divert from the fact that Air Serbia is receiving massive subsidies from the state, subsidies that in some years are as large as half of airline's turnover. This has been the case since Air Serbia was created, and there's nothing wrong in doing that, Serbia has right to do what it wants with its own national airline.

      I wouldn't say its a bad investment, but I would say its a smart one either.

      - JU jumped into TATL ops too early.
      - 2 years on and JU still hasn't got use for the A330 that ends up being parked in BEG 4 days a week during the winter.
      - JU has no codeshare partner in JFK.


      Serbia has spent a lot in financing this route, while JU has a chronic shortage of appropriate regional aircraft. 60 million euros could purchase 3 brand new ATR72's, while a decent leased fleet and an enhanced network could of been set up for that amount. Tourism is great, and definitely investments should be made there, however an increased regional/Euro network would also have brought in more tourists too, on top of increased connectivity making Serbia more attractive for business and investment that it also needs.

      The justification back then was that JFK would help boost regional routes, however since then, JU has continued to cut routes and frequencies, a lot due to not having the appropriate aircraft to serve them.

    5. Anonymous00:08

      - too early? no, 25 years too late. they should and would have continued flights if they were allowed. their intercontinental services would have been somewhere between LO and OS by now were they not interrupted.
      - it's not like you can use for 3 days and lease it out for the other 4 days. once 2nd A330 arrives they will keep one busy during winter and lease out the second one.
      - but they have great interline partner in JetBlue. you can get from Belgrade to your beach house on a Nantucket Island on a single ticket with only one stop, or from Tesla Gigafactory in Reno, Nevada to Tesla Museum in Belgrade with a single stop!

      Regional flights will start growing again. Having 2nd A330 with increased number of faraway destinations and frequency will help.

      @ anonymous 00,08am

      Lots of things could of happened had the country not fallen apart and sanctions hit JU. Fast forward to today after many years of mismanagement, corruption, poor decisions and instability and yes, JU went a bit early on their TATL ops. After all, they are still, almost 5 years on, tweaking with their product and offering, trying to find their place. I don't think they've maintained consistency for an entire season!

      A better plan should of been made for where to send the A330 during the winter period. I just have a feeling that nothing east would of been acceptable to EY who seem to be hell bent on having traffic funneled through AUH. I am sure there is some form of demand for a seasonal destination that could be supported alone on domestic traffic, not to mention the opportunities with transfer pax. That aircraft is bleeding resources they don't have, which has only created chaos in their core network.

      As for the JetBlue interline, its a nice thing to have, however taking it a step further to a codeshare would of been better. Just my 2 cents.

    also the graph in annual report itself in the report is very wrong, and i suspect the y axis misses one zero. with the way it is, it seems that JU is transporting ~25k passengers to germany, while the real figure should be 10x that

    11. U teoriji to zvuči super, ali u praksi baš i ne. Ti svejedno trebaš uplupati ogromne novce da bi probao nešto pokrenuti, a para nema. Barem ne tolikih kolike su potrebne za ovakve projekte.

      Kako bre nema? Sta je za drzavu da 20 mil. evra kolko su dali prosle godine za AS? Od tih para dobar deo se vrati kroz poreze zaposlenih,turista koji dolaze iz NY i prolaze kroz BG.

    13. Pa tamo je med i mlijeko!
      Znači taj A330 će koštati samo 20 mil. eura?
      I kolike vi to turiste iz Amerike imate da vraćate sve te pare samo kroz njih?

      frishki, ok niko nema američkih turista kao Hrvatska, kapiramo sve. Samo ne znam čemu tolika briga oko finansiranja. Jasno je da Croatia Airlines mora čerupati imovinu kako bi živela...To mu dođe na isto kao i sa Air Serbia, s tim što Air Serbia ne lešinari po avionima, slotovima i sličnom, ona troši keš.

    15. Kad nemaš argumenta, onda se uhvatiš uspredbe sa Hrvatskom, makar je ja nisam ni spomenuo. Pitam te koliko to američkih turista ima u Srbiji godišnje da može pokriti troškove ovakvih egzibicija. A to i jesu upravo - egzibicije.
      Mislim, mene zaboli na što će vam država trošiti vaše pare, ali mi je nevjerojatno da vi koji to plaćate, stojite iza toga i podržavate.
      I to kako Air Serbia "ne lešinari" i što ti ja znam - lol. Ne treba lešinariti kada država stoji iza nje sa parama. Uostalom, što si se hvataš Croatie Airlines? Jesam ih ja spomenuo?

      Ne kazem ja da se vrate sve pare od turista,daleko od toga. Ali jedan deo se vrati. Srbija je kao prioritet stavila razvoj turizma sa SAD jer je to izuzetno bogato trziste. Pokusavaju da razviju i medicinski turizam. Jeftinije je nekome iz NY da dodje u Beograd na nedelju dana sredi zube,provede se vrati se i ustedi. U prilog tome evo i spota koji su juce izbacili Ameri

      Purger said it best. It makes sense for both countries to support tourism through intercontinental flights:

      Purger27 August 2014 at 13:31
      ja sam još 2010. Croatiji predlagao…da bi linije prema SAD-u, Kanadi i Kini bile odlična stvar za iskorak CTN-a u regiji i da bi one mogle uspjeti uz državnu subvenciju, što ima opravdanje prvenstveno u razvoju turizma (logičnije je subvencionirati interkontinentalne linije, nego npr. Ryanair što se trenutno u Hrvatskoj radi). U tom svijetlu treba podržati nastojanja Srbije da pokrene interkontinentalne letove“

      Delete
    18. To što je Purger nešto rekao ne treba značiti da je točno i da bi funkcioniralo. Da je jedna OU bila u uzletnoj putanji, još možda, ali i tada jako teško i jako skupo. Ali ovakva OU ne može ni fantazirati o takvim potezima.

      I kako su Ameri izbacili video koji snimljen na Srpskom jeziku i dignut na kanal zvan "Vi ste svet"?.

      Naprotiv, dentalni turizam najveći porast broja putnika koji dolaze zbog toga je sa dalekih tržišta poput Kanade, SAD, Australje i Japana, naveo bih i Nemačku koja nije daleko ali veliki broj državljana dolazi u Srbiju da sredi zube.

      A to da me brine kako spaljujete novce, nimalo. Samo postavljam pitanje i pokušavam uvidjeti logiku otvaranja ovakvih linija, dok regionalna mreža stagnira ili se kreše.
      Ali, ako se ima para - svaka čast.

      Upravo tako, Frishki, ako je Vlada Republike Srbije procenila da linija kao takva ima vise koristi za Srbiju nego stete, linija treba da se subvencionise. Nije sve u cistom profitu iskljucivo od prodaje karata, gleda se sira slika. Svaki turista pored 600-700 EUR koliko plati kartu ostavi u Srbiji jos toliko ... racunica verovatno postoji. Da ne pricam o podizanju ugleda drzave, ipak je prestiz leteti za JFK, pogledaj region, niko tome nije ni blizu :)

      Delete
    26. Ajde nemojmo spominjati Vladu Republike Srbije u kontekstu sa logikom i da nešto ima više koristi, nego štete. Također, od te cijene karte, samo dio ide Air Serbiji, a isto tako taj turist može do Srbije doći i sa jednim presjedanjem.
      A o tom "prestižu" isto nemojmo. Taj "prestiž" košta. A i vjrojatno postoji i razlog zašto nitko iz regije ne leti preko Atlantika. Ili Srbija ima neke novce koje ni jedna država u okruženju ima, a da mi to ne znamo?

      Friski, do sad si imao lepe argumente, a sada mi nesto delujes nervozno kad je spomenuta sira slika i cinjenica da Air Srbija leti za Ameriku preko 2 godine dok ostatak regiona kaska.

      Jel sve ok? :)

      Znači, ponovno iznosiš nekakve najave bez potpisa i da se i ne dogode, nikom ništa, jer pojma nemamo tko je iza njih. Super potez! Mudro, priznajem.

      A što se argumenata tiče, i dalje ih imam, a ovo što si provalio sa tim da "region kaska za jednom Srbijom" je jedna od najboljih šala u zadnje vrijeme. Ajmo saad ovako, obzirom da potežeš se za jezik, koliko to turista iz Amerike ima jedna Srbija i sa tom direktnom linijom, a koliko jedna zaostala Hrvatska do koje jadni turisti moraju presjedati po tamo nekakvim Minhenima, Frankfurtima i Amsterdanima?

      @ anonymous 10,54am

      YYZ seems for a while to be the next long haul destination. It would be interesting to see where the second A330 will come from. My guess is from EY who are reducing their ops quite a bit while yet taking on more new aircraft.

      As for new destinations, GVA was supposed to start however cancelled after a week of sales due to a lack of aircraft. Apparently they are still keen to start it. I'm guessing that this is where they will send the aircraft currently used to operate HAM. IKA will be interesting, I'm guessing it may replace IR who are short on aircraft, expanding on frequencies and taking advantage of the growing tourism as well as now other Euro carriers are pulling back out of Iran. It wouldn't make sense to have 4 carriers operating BEG-IKA.

      Rumour has it that VCE isn't doing too well and is likely to go as well.

    JFK gives JU a very good image abroad. The excellent business class and that logo stands perfect on the A330. Style and prestige.
    Good luck with YYZ in 2019. A second A330 should arrive by New Year 2019 to begin flying next spring 2019.
