Air France to boost Ljubljana and Belgrade operations

Air France has published its 2019/2020 winter schedule which will see it grow its operations to both Ljubljana and Belgrade. Services between the French and Slovenian capitals will more than double, with the carrier to maintain thirteen weekly flights, up from six last winter season. Through its regional subsidiary Air France HOP!, the airline will maintain two daily flights, with the exception on Saturdays. The French carrier will compete directly against Adria Airways on the route, which plans to run daily flights between the two next winter, up from five weekly services during the 2018/19 season. Although the two airlines previously codeshared on each others flights, this arrangement is no longer in place.

Air France has upgraded its seasonal flights between Paris and Belgrade, launched last month, to a year-round service. Flights will continue to operate daily during the 2019/2020 winter season. "In addition, with our partner Air Serbia, Air France will offer a total of nineteen weekly flights between Paris and Belgrade (seven flights operated by Air France and twelve codeshare flights operated by Air Serbia)", the carrier said in a statement. It added, "We are very happy to be back with a daily service. The Serbian economy is improving and is expected to grow by 4% per year in the coming period, while there is an increasing number of French investments, an example being VINCI. Therefore, Air France wanted to be part of this growth and development, but also support Serbian tourism".

Air France and Air Serbia recently expanded the scope of their cooperation to include new codeshare destinations, with the "AF" designator code and flight numbers now appearing on Air Serbia's services from Belgrade to Larnaca, Nice (as of June 6), Podgorica, Sarajevo, Skopje, Thessaloniki, Tirana and Tivat. In return, Air Serbia now codeshares on Air France operated flights from Paris to Barcelona, Dublin, Lyon, Marseille, Nantes, Nice and Palma de Mallorca. "This traffic also helps support the route. We have good potential to further develop our relationship. We expect that 25% of our traffic on this route will come from long haul flights, as there is a large Serbian community in North America. We expect 15% from the rest of Europe, and of course the 60% left will be the traffic between France and Serbia", the carrier noted.

Air France's only other year-round destination in the former Yugoslavia, Zagreb, will continue to operate once per day through its HOP! subsidiary. The carrier maintains a codeshare partnership with Croatia Airlines on the route.

Good news for LJU! This shows how the market share is nicely increasing amongst the foreign carriers. I suppose U2 and TK are enjoying good LF, too.
I do think LJU will need to secure more LCC routes with W6, too.

Good year expected for LJU, in spite of JP network reductions this summer. More London airports connected.

Demand. France always works like this. Take NCE and LYS connections to other Eastern European cities. Suddenly demand increased. Same applies for BVA.
09:05
Nemjee said…
Could it be that the market is in desperate need of an alternative to Star Alliance? LJU-AMS keeps on booming and I am sure Transavia carries a great number of transfer passengers.

I realise it's the demand but I'm surprised it grew so suddenly. Anyway very good news for LJU.

The arrangement probably wasn't benefiting them. Interestingly they continue to codeshare with Montenegro Airlines on Paris-Podgorica line.

I was asking. And it was not hysterically, it was normal question taking in consideration winter flights to BEG were not their system on the day they started flying to BEG as you informed it will be.
I am very glad to see AF flying all year to BEG
09:10
Nemjee said…
Air Serbia needs to cozy up to AF-KL as it's a good balance to Star Alliance which keeps on expanding in Belgrade. This AF flight was desperately needed as without it a great number of connections via CDG had a really long layover. Also, AF is quite weak in ORD, I think they fly it daily in summer and five weekly in winter. I am sure they hope to use the large demand from BEG to boost their presence there. Overall I think AF sticking around is bigger news than LH's third daily from MUC.
09:10
Lima Zulu said…
The current winter schedule LJU-CDG is:

JP 322 06:40 08:45 x27
AF1037 12:20 14:20 D
AF1187 15:10 17:10 x6
JP 342 17:05 19:05 5,7

Meaning there will be 4 daily flights on Fridays and 2 on Saturdays.
Seems to be more business demand.

That is really impressive in my opinion. Easyjet should have been smarter and started Paris before AF grew.
09:13

Yes but CDG is not SVO and Adria is putting up a fight plus I am sure they are going to fight because they have transfer passengers.

Star Alliance has a strong grip on ORD: UA, LH nnd LO. LO have crazy prices via WAW and will be hard to compete with.

Now its time for easy and wizz to expand their operations across Europe ! We have seen that there is demand and airlines have been adding frequencies and new destinations to LJU ! Easyjet’s LJU-Berlin route was a win for them, those flights constantly have 90-95 % LF so this proofs that they should add something like Barcelona or start flights to Italy... anyways great job LJU !
09:18
Lima Zulu said…
Yes, you are right. Given this huge sudden demand, HV can easily consider LJU-ORY given that LJU-AMS is apparently doing quite well.
BVA is also a possibility not to disregard, neither. W6 can consider launching flights too.

I don't think HV would consider ORY-LJU at least not until JP is around or until AF's CDG flights mature to the point that ORY wouldn't affect them.

What’s the difference? HOP is now facing restructuring measures, including the merger of all operations under the AF flight codes of parent Air France. And EU flights service is exactly the same.

LJU has been delivering good results lately. I would say, that Fraport has been doing a good job. Significant improvements:

- Arrival of SU
- Arrival of BA (seasonal but still a good start)
- U2 11 weekly LGW + STN service
- TK regular A321 service
- W6 - CRL & LTN with additional flights during summer peak
- 2 daily JP + LO service to WAW

I may have missed something but still, well done LJU.

Croatia is well covered to Paris, let alone all other points served by Volotea, Transavia, ASL, Easyjet, Ryanair etc..

Etihad doesn't care if JU enters an alliance, especially not now when their own collapsed. All EY cares is that it's BEG flights perform well and that they keep on getting passengers from JU's regional and European network.

I see that ASL's last flight from BEG is on 28.08 but I am sure they initially scheduled them until 05.09. Seems like bookings were horrible in September.

AF has never served PRN.

U2 flew from CDG to PRN for two seasons only and eventually suspended the route.
The now defunct ST was last to serve CDG from PRN last summer season.

If Schengen visas are ever waived for Kosovars then I predict this route will be one of the first to be reopened as the market is there but it's too fragmented to sustain operations until travel restrictions are removed.

JU must enter some alliance. Sky team would work, but it would be way better to join Star Alliance and negotiate better position in covering main diaspora markets - Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Politicians should concentrate on helping with that.

Nemjee, I dont think that Etihad doesnt care about JU entering alliance.
Simplest reason is - in such case, JU should divide tunneling traffic to the East between Etihad & alliances members. So, number of passengers from local network would be affected.
However, we should note that Etihad cooperation with SkyTeam members is even more strong.

Sure thing, here they are:

LJU-AMS: -

2015:
LJU-CDG: 72.914
LJU-AMS: 23.668

2016:

LJU-AMS: 33.352

LJU-AMS: 77.041

LJU-AMS
01-07.2017: 38.777
01-07-2018: 61.925

LJU-CDG
01-07.2017: 47.441
01-07.2018: 59.563

Impressive growth in both markets. That said, LJU-VIE and LJU-MUC did take a hit in the first seven months of the year, FRA was so-so.
15:18
Nemjee said…
Alliances are the only thing Etihad never cared about and they always encouraged JU to make as many partnerships as possible. Sure it made sense for them to oppose them entering an alliance while they had their own but now they don't care.

I think finding another partner for the east would be wise especially now when EY announced new cabins on their A320/321 that won't have any IFE and will have reduced seatpitch.

But your theory is right. I don't think ASL will sustain any flights next year.

This route will not last for long. It will be cannibalised by the new BEG-LYS Wizz Airlines route.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA yes, BEG-LYS will destroy BEG-NCE even if the two cities are 470 km apart yet BEG-LYS will be unaffected by easyJet in GVA which is 100 km away. Sure.

W6 French entry to BEG is definitely bad news for JU. It doesn't matter if both cities are 470km. The catchment area is around 3 million. People use TGV.

The Belgrade-Nice route is a leisure route and is seasonal.

You do realize that there is no Lyon-Nice TGV line, right? It stops in Marseille. Maybe you should do some research before starting your anti-JU rant.

You do realize how long it takes to travel on the SNCF? Fastest train takes 04 hours and 33 minutes. Why would someone waste 9 hours and €70 of his life to save €80 on an airfare?

Like I said, if LYS is competing with anyone then it's GVA...mon cher.

There are certain routes in France where the TGV 'code-shares' on the SNCF lines. However whoever has been to France or has lived there knows that even though the network is extensive, trains tend to be old, late and unreliable.

So stop being cheap and fly via a European hub, it's after October, tickets are not as expensive. ;)

Again, maybe they don't care about alliances, but they care about taking away passengers from them. It looks to me that you are not big fan of EY ;)

The AF-JU codeshare,seems to be working quite well..I was returning from BEG today, on BEG-SKG, and the A319 was packed (all 144 seats full) with lots of French pax...Good for BEG!

I am completely indifferent towards them but I do believe they are incompetent. After all, look at the mess they created in Abu Dhabi and how they are spiraling out of control. They completely lost their compass and that's a fact. A few of my friends flew with them recently and they told me that the cabin of the aircraft was really worn out and one of the seats was actually broken. On top of that, they introduced massive cost cutting measures in terms of onboard product which is a bad move as they are helping TK, EK and others get their customers. Love them or hate them, they are no longer what they used to be. Let's see if they manage to stabilize themselves the same way JU did. Because of all the issues they are faced with, I don't think they really care about smaller matters like JU and alliances.

You flew on JU from SKG to BEG? Then those passengers were actually connecting onto JU's CDG flight at 17.10. :)
AF's flight doesn't really connect onto anything in Belgrade. In winter they are changing their timetable so there will be more opportunities.

Well, this Etihad is for sure different then previous one. We'll have to wait a see how do they handle this pile of s*it in airline and how much patient sheik will be. I've read recently that CFO driving this turnaround left company after 1 year approximately.
Nevertheless, I don't see this relationship between JU & EY breaking up in very near future, for various reasons unless something really huge happens on EY side.

I think that was still from JU's CDG flight since AF arrives too late, I think even after SKG departs.
