Aeroflot expands operations across former Yugoslavia

Russia's Aeroflot will expand its reach across the former Yugoslavia this coming winter season with new flights from Moscow to Ljubljana, as well as additional frequencies to Belgrade and Zagreb. The airline has put on sale flights between the Russian and Slovenian capitals, with services to commence on October 28. The carrier will maintain daily flights between the two which will complement the seven weekly services operated by its codeshare partner Adria Airways. Flights will run with the 87-seat Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft, featuring twelve seats in business class and the remaining 75 in economy. In 2017, a total of 48.271 passengers flew between Ljubljana and Moscow on board Adria, which was up 12.9% on the year before.

Aeroflot will introduce a third daily service to Belgrade for a total of 21 weekly flights from October 28. The additional daily frequency will depart Moscow in the afternoon. It comes after Red Wings Airlines became the third carrier to maintain operations between the two cities last month. Red Wings is yet to schedule flights for the winter but has previously said it plans to expand its Belgrade operations with daily flights in 2019. Russia continues to be one of Belgrade Airport's biggest markets. Both Air Serbia and Aeroflot have a wide-ranging codeshare agreement in place. Together, the two airlines will maintain 29 weekly flights between the two cities this winter, increasing to 32 weekly operations during the holiday season in late December and early January.

The Sky Team member is also adding additional flights on its Moscow - Zagreb service. Aeroflot will run daily services between the two capitals, up from four per week last year. The airline will utilise the Sukhoi jet on the route. Previously, flights operated with the Airbus A320 aircraft, which can seat between 140 and 158 passengers, compared to the 87-seat Sukhoi. Elsewhere, Aeroflot will maintain daily flights to Tivat during the 2018/19 season. Over the summer, the airline also operates seasonal flights to Split

    It seems they are after transfer passengers in ZAG as they are replacing the A320 with the SSJ. Less seats per flight has enabled them to add more frequencies.

    LJU is an interesting choice and I am sure it will do well. TK numbers are booming in LJU and I am sure a great deal of passengers are transfers onto their Asian network.

    As for BEG, three daily on the A320 is beyond impressive. BEG will be on par with VIE for SU and ahead of places like BUD or ATH.

      SU has 4 daily to VIE, seems like they added an extra flight since the last time I checked. Given the size of VIE and the purchasing power of Austrians, BEG isn't doing that badly.

      Austrian Airlines has 11 weekly and Utair daily.

      Actually, OS is flying 2x daily, SU 4x daily and Utair 1x daily between Moscow and Vienna. Makes exactly 49 frequencies.
      SU had announced they wanted to introduce a fifth frequency already last year but the current regulations do not allow this for them. I would assume that VIEMOW P2P is much lower than BEGMOW but the vast majority for VIEMOW are transfers at Both ends.

    Great to see new airline in LJU, it is becoming a good regional airport with good connections. Still waiting for the new terminal, it should be done by now. What I like about LJU is when you land you are usually out of the airport in cca 10 minutes. Wish them all the best.

      Ne pricaj gluposti, molim te. In LJU u rarely get the airbridge, means u always need to take a bus, which takes 10’ just to fill it up, transfer takes 1-2’, If u need to wait for the checked luggage, its another 10-15min, so the average its at least 20min without without for the luggage.

      LJU is close to where I live and so far I had nothing but great experience, always on time with or without airbridges (does it really matter how you get on or off?). Air travel is fun, you should to take on the positive side. I just hope the new terminal is done as soon as possible, as it can get busy with lack of space in the arrival area, but still I always got out very quickly.

    Can we see downgrading the service to SVO with the new flights of Aeroflot and Red Wings?

    Good news. SU has become a great brand, especially compared to the old one. Love their livery!
    Btw...the number of flights between Belgrade and Moscow is incredible!!

    I think they could eventually expand to include Podgorica and Skopje to their network.

    What they really should be doing is deploying their low cost arm Pobeda much more to the region. Do they even fly anywhere in ex-Yu?

      Pobeda planned to start flights to Podgorica this summer but the end they didn't. They even announced they would. Don't know what happened but the flights didn't go through.

      Montenegro Airlines does not fly to Moscow from Podgorica. Only from Tivat. So I doubt that's the case.

      So much for the directorate conspiracy. There are at least a dozen Russian airlines flying to Montenegro and you think for some reason they would block Pobeda. Their plans just probably changed.

      Sshht, don't mention INI - they will literally tell you how "poor" the south and how no flights are needed because you can take the car to BEG or use SKP serving mainly tertiarty destinations. They will also deny the airport is breaking records every year.

      They will also deny this:

      @Anonymous15 August 2018 at 22:47, thankfully, that's very easy to check. Here's a sample week from November 2017:
      15 Nov 2017 Moscow (SVO) Zagreb (ZAG) A320 (VQ-BHL) 2:52 09:00 09:40 10:10
      Landed 10:32
      13 Nov 2017 Moscow (SVO) Zagreb (ZAG) A320 (VQ-BBC) 3:00 09:00 09:29 10:10
      Landed 10:29
      12 Nov 2017 Moscow (SVO) Zagreb (ZAG) A320 (VQ-BIV) 2:48 09:00 09:20 10:10
      Landed 10:08
      10 Nov 2017 Moscow (SVO) Zagreb (ZAG) A320 (VQ-BKS) 2:42 09:00 09:25 10:10
      Landed 10:08
      (Data from flightradar24)

      Now if we go and check the configurations for those aircraft (VQ-BHL, VQ-BBC, VQ-BIV, VQ-BKS):

      https://www.planespotters.net/airframe/Airbus/A320/VQ-BIV-Aeroflot-Russian-Airlines/ga0lheNJ

      As you can see, all are in C20Y120 configuration which means 140 seats. Also, since SU operated 4pw SVO-ZAG flights with SSJs during second half of November 2017 and during December of 2017 I would definitely call 7pw SSJs an upgrade.

      So basically they had next to no business class demand out of ZAG. Strange.

      No, they have plenty of business class demand. That's why they were sending 20C planes instead of 8C planes. SU Sukhois have 12C seats, so the total per week C seat capacity outside of summer season was increased by 4 seats in autumn/late winter and by 36 seats in late autumn/early winter. The total per week Y capacity was increased by 45 seats in autumn/late winter and by 225 seats in late autumn/early winter.

    I understand the strong ties between Serbia and Russia but please help me understand who is flying so much between the two countries? Business, government, tourists? Since those are a lot of seats on a daily basis to fill in. Very interested to hear some opinions. Thanks

      All three of those. There are a lot of Russian companies operating in Serbia, not to mention that Gazprom owns Serbia's petroleum company and Sberbank has a big presence in Serbia. There are also a lot of Serbs working in Russia and there are a lot of Russian tourists coming to Serbia since neither Russians nor Serbian need visas to enter each others countries.

    Aeroflot actually used SU95s and A320s equally lat winter 2017/18, 2 x times per week with each type. During the dead season (2nd half of January and the entire February), Aeroflot used SU95 only. So, this is an increase in capacity for ZAG overall. Given that ZAg prices are higher than those on the LJU route, it's clear SU is after JP in LJU.
    I can see Aeroflot expand in ZAG during the summer of 2019 as well.

    Can we see SU sending A330 or 777 to BEG ?

    Here is the list of missing cities from SVO are:

    SKP - better send Pobeda
    INI - better send Pobeda or A320
    SJJ - better send A320
    TGD - although TIV is already connected, better send A320 or SSJ
    OHD - better send SSJ or A320
    BWK - now that JP is pulling out - they can safely send Sukhoi SJJ
