Nice expansion, good for PRN!
ReplyDeleteIt is now clear that PRN will well overtake SKP...the race continues..
DeletePRN is ahead of Skopje so it can't overtake them.

So what happens to Orange to fly?
ReplyDeleteAre they stopping flights to PRN completely?
Are they shutting down or are they moving someplace else?
They will stop PRN. They are just chartered by tour agencies to fly these routes. Now the tour agencies found a new partner for whatever reason.
DeleteNever heard of Air Mediterranean before.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of airline are they?
Charter airline. Like it says in the text. "Greek charter carrier Air Mediterranean".
DeleteAirline with 2 B737-400 average age: 30 years,
DeleteOrange2fly have 4 A320 average age: 15 years
So they probably offered a lower bid and won the contract.
DeleteNext airline to operate for the Pristina travel agency will be flying DC-9s...
Between B737-400 of Air Mediterranean and downgrading to DC-9s stand Aviolet's entire fleet of 737-3H9.
DeleteHehe, there is no way Air Serbia can be avoided in any of the topics - of course in negative context.
DeleteI am so glad they are the biggest airline in ex-Yu and that it bothers so many people here.

ReplyDeleteDodgy Airline registered in Greece with Lebanese capital.
ReplyDeleteI can aready see them overselling tickets and leaving thousands stranded at different Airports!
I'm surprised any normal Airport in Europe would allow them to land and takeoff on their runways.
It appears that the last flight of the stored Air Mediterranean B737 was to BEG:

Also, if MUC, DUS, or STR (normal enough airports for me) have no issues with landing and taking off from their runways, then I am not sure anyone in the Balkans is in a position to complain about them.
Point is, a responsible Airport Authority does not simply simply hand out 1/5 of its entire bulk of passengers to an unheard Company with unknown owners!
DeleteHowever, in Kosovo everything is possible. And no, Serbia or (ex Yugo states) are no role models!
why they have to force people to fly with such unknown airlines...in case of ryanair,easyjet,wizzair, volotea,vueling,
ReplyDeleteAre there any news about Air Mediterannean? They should have started on Feb 06 to EAP Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg, but Orange2fly is still flying. All three "aktive" Air Mediterranean B734 (SX-MAH, SX-MAI, SX-MAM) seem to have not been flown since days or weeks?
ReplyDeleteI think with today there is no sight on that airlines based in Kosovo and it seems its going to be further so. So unstable and unserious airline for more stable touroperators (4 of them) they made a huge mistake signing a contract with them on a very serious market that is booming.
DeleteSorry, Nor airline this Air Mediterranean nor those 4 tour operators are stable, but airport has numbers and facts are there WARNING be aware that they can easily bankrupt faster than what we saw in 2019.
DeleteJust check in news what happened today in around Kosovo airspace
