Air Serbia wins Kraljevo flight tender


Air Serbia will commence operations out of Kraljevo’s Morava Airport after winning a tender to carry out scheduled air services declared to be of public interest from the central Serbian city. The airline was the sole bidder and will be the beneficiary of 5.63 million euros over the next three years in order to maintain year-round flights to Vienna and seasonal summer services to Thessaloniki. In total, 300 return flights will be operated to the Austrian capital for the duration of the subsidy contract. The route has been allocated 3.32 million euros. On the other hand, 184 return services will be run from Kraljevo to Greece’s second largest city, for which the Serbian carrier will pocket 2.25 million euros. The company will receive the remaining 50.174 euros to cover operational start-up costs at Morava Airport.

In its decision to award the Serbian carrier the multi million euro contract, the Ministry for Construction, Transport and Infrastructure said, “The offer made by Air Serbia in the amount of 659.191.258 dinars (5.63 million euros) fulfils all the requirements set out in the public procurement law and the tender documentation. The offer made by Air Serbia has been deemed acceptable”. Airlines had until this morning to declare whether they were interested in commercially launching any of the two routes without subsidies. Had anyone declared interest, the selected route would have been removed from the tender and no incentives would be offered, however, the carrier in question would have to launch flights within the timeframe set out in the tender brief. As no carrier raised interest, no airline other than Air Serbia will be able to maintain flights from Kraljevo to either of the two cities.

Under the tender conditions, Air Serbia must launch three weekly flights between Kraljevo and Vienna next month, while three weekly services to Thessaloniki should commence in mid-March 2020. As a result, Air Serbia will now maintain flights to the two cities from both Belgrade and Kraljevo. Furthermore, the airline will serve three cities in Serbia, following Belgrade and Niš. All flights from Kraljevo will be maintained with the regional ATR72 turboprop aircraft. The government has allocated funds for the construction of a second runway in Kraljevo next year, which will enable it to handle larger jet-engine aircraft without restrictions.

      OU has been receiving PSO for many years now on all domestic routes and this is the first year that JU gets money to fly rom INI and KVO.

      At the same time OU received huge money before (more than 100 mil EUR) Croatia joined EU and now even additonal, illegal 30 mil EUR

      JU is getting financial help from GoS every year but they increase the network and they fly to US - something OU is surely not doing

      Difference is huge and in this case I don't get why JU is being blamed for doing something one EU carrier has already been doing for many, many years

    The other day I drove to Novi Pazar and back to Belgrade. It's only now that I fully understand and appreciate the importance of this airport. One thing that surprised me though was that the airport wasn't that close to the city, it was maybe half-way between Kraljevo and Cacak (total distance 37 km). Reaching Belgrade from anywhere in Rashki okrug (especially cities such as Rashka or Novi Pazar) is a nightmare. Roads are in good condition but there are so many turns, villages, trucks, buses ...

    On top of that, there is no highway (yet) from Obrenovac to Belgrade so you are forced to drive on the local road through inhabited areas such as Barich or Umka.

    I am sure KVO flights will be welcomed by all those who not only live in Rashka but also in and around the Kosovskomitrovacki okrug.

    In a way I think this airport has more potential than INI, especially since the area isn't as poor.

      Once Serbians start looking at JU as Serbian and not SNS company (although SNS helped it to be established) it will be much better.

      All Serbian Goverments had to pour money in JAT and Jat although it was not eestablished by them.

      I see no reason why any new Government would not support JU. After all, Serbian people work there, taxes are collected there, money stays in Serbia, many new foreigners as well as diaspora are regularly visiting Serbia by bringing more money, new possibilities with new routes for leisure and business travelling, better regional development (INI, KVO)...

      Thing is that unlike Jat or JAT, Serbia benefits much more from Air Serbia. More flights out of BEG, more Serbs employed, supporting local economy and their fares are finally extremely realistic. On top of all that, JU is convenient and offers and ok onboard experience. The fact they are boosting regional and European flights also helps the local economy, especially tourism.

Ако и поред овога треба нацртати одговор на питање шта ће бити после, одговор је све исто! Нове власти ће убацити пар својих људи, они ће после пар месеци да најаве "огромне промене које ће Ер Србију вратити на пут профитабилности" а на крају ће се свести на рецимо укидање Њујорка и још 1-2 линије, и можда ће увести бесплатан сендвич.

      I've just checked prices for Skopje - Berlin and Belgrade - Berlin. Date of trip January 2020 Tue - Tue, return filghts with Wizz from Skopje and AirSerbia from Belgrade.

      Return flight from Skopje is ~70eur and from Belgrade is ~79eur. So difference is only 9 euros, but for those 9 euros you have much better timetable (almost for everyone), AS uses Tegel terminal A and the most important you can take 50cm luggage as carry on + one more bag, while with Wizz you can take only one bag with max size of 40cm.

    Air Serbia is growing in Belgrade so there is room to add extra flights from other airports. Imagine flying for two hours and then having to drive for another two to your hometown. That is why KVO will be popular, it cuts travelling time.

      Ер Србијини летови за Беч су већ овако и онако пуни, овог лета су повећали капацитет на неколико недељних летова а и они су били пуни на крају. Дефинитивно има простора за још летова од стране ЈУ, само је питање када ће их увести.

    So is Kraljevo getting a completely new runway? That seems a bit extravagant considering they will have 6 flights a week.

      Obviously the plan is to have more flights in the future with larger aircraft.

  26. Очекивана и реална, али изнад свега радосна вест са Краљевачком Моравом затекла ме је у Краљевачкој болници. Где се лечим. Сама вест ће ме брже подићи из боличке постеље. Одмах ће ме пут одвести на Мораву.
    Када се буде завршила цивилна писта са Карго и Консигнационим терминалом Краљево је обезбедило будућност. Свима честитке ирадост

      Montenegro should subsidize KVO-TIV flights.

    Is there a way to buy the Sukhoi jet and station 2 of them in KVO?
    It can become a small base.

      Yes, of course there is a way. Would expect those Sukhois to actually fly from KVO or just to be stationed there? :)

  32. I also can't wait to book tickets for this route! When do ticket sales start?

      You can't book because ticket sales haven't started yet. Agreement with the government was signed yesterday so sales should begin by the end of the week.

  33. So if I want to fly on Monday I have to wait until 3 days before the flight to book?!

    I hope that they don't make the same mistake as they did with Budapest in failing to make this a weekend friendly flight - Fridays/Sunday/Monday. That way the gastos can come for weekends to KV and surrounding areas for weekend trips with their friends.

      They won't start the flights on Monday. It will probably start just before 25th December.

  34. Living in North Europe, I just hope the departure time ex VIE will not be 07:50am as somebody wrote above. There was some text in Serbian there, will this be the schedule or did someboedy just suggest this? I would like to be able to fly in from AMS/RTM/EIN to VIE and then connect to KVO (separate tickets of course). With a departure time that early, that would be impossible. Then only KVO-VIE would be an option. Not only 'gastos' hope to use this line... ;-)

    Additionally I hope they will code share with OS (very likely not, I know), so more (and shorter) connections / better prices would be possible. That way they'd really open KVO up to the world!

    If anybody finds out that ticket sales started, please announce that here! Thank you.

      No. The article says that flights will launch during December, not 1st December.

    2. No, flights were always supposed to begin on 1 December, says even on the wikipedia site og the airport:

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morava_Airport

      But clearly not the case. Ticket sales haven't even started. However, 1 December was the plan!

    3. Anonymous21:45

      I wouldn't use Wikipedia as a reference. They added Air Serbia as the operating carrier 2 weeks before Air Serbia was even declared the winner. Anyone can edit Wikipedia.

      It was highly unlikely that flights would start on December 1 if the tender only ended on November 25. The flights will certainly start in December. My bet is just before Christmas.

      For goodness sake Mihajlo it is obvious they moved the launch date for Vienna because it is conpletely unfeesable to start the route within 10 days. Besides the CEO of Kraljevo Airport said today that the flights will begin in the middle of December.

    2. Anon, I know all but that is a facts. In that case, we expect to be informed. Anyway, KVO is not on the flight radar yet.

  40. VIE I get KVO as a destination, but is SKG a logical second? Wouldn't North Italy (Fiat), FCO, FRA, TIV, TGD or IST have been a better 2nd destination?

    1. A lot of serbians is working in Greece during the summer, becose of that, SKG is the second. Italy? No, INI-BLQ with LF 30-35% is enough for Italy from central and south Serbia
