ReplyDeleteAbout €20 million
DeleteOk then it's not too bad then, real loss around €10 million.
DeleteAS indirektno Srbiji donosi mnogo vise od 10 mi evra.Pokrenuti 23 nove rute a smanjiti prihode za samo 3 mil. je fantastican rezultat. Steta zbog korone,sa novim rutama koje su bile planirane za ovu godinu sigurno bi premasili 3mil. putnika.
DeleteМа Ер Србија се исплати само на основу летова за Истанбул. Са сваким летом доводе десетине туриста који троше паре у Србији. Захваљујући тим летовима број седишта је повећан на тржишту што значи да је било више простора за раст.
DeleteKoliko je absurdna ova vest, profit, ma daj!!!
ReplyDeleteOno kao imacemo najbolju ekonomiju ne u evropi nego na svetu :)
Ма дај неке конкретне цифре место то рекла казала. Ове бројке дефинитивно показују да је фирма на правом путу.

DeletePa dobili su 20 miliona pomoci prosle godine, znaci kada se sve izracuna gubitak je 10 miliona
DeleteJat's loss in 2013 is best proof why Air Serbia was needed. So much money wasted on an airline that barely operated six planes.
ReplyDeleteDo you know how much millions of euros is burned in AS?
DeleteOf course I do, much, much less than in Jat and less and less every year.
DeleteYou are obviously the one who doesn't know.
I guess they will register a profit in 2020 too :)
ReplyDeleteAt least some companies like JU could show profit no matter it includes certain financial support.
DeleteWe have air companies in the neighbourhood that have losses no matter they have the best Adriatic coast + financial support from Government + PSO + udruzeno oglasavanje...
That is true, but I don't find this way of thinking very constructive.
DeleteWhy not Anon 12.39, it is an aviation portal after all.
DeleteAnon 12:13 all of that plus hub airport unashamedly turning away lowcost competition.
DeleteExactly, at least in Belgrade no one is discriminated against, I mean even Wizz is boosting capacity to A321 and adding a third aircraft.
DeleteAll is good, typical national air carrier, serving a bigger purpose than making money unfortunately, JU carries Serbs through Europe year round and is a vital link for Serbs ...look what happened to Slovenian travel after Adria failure, this is why Air Serbia will never fail A+
ReplyDeletewhat is "sixth year in the black"? I dont understand the word black in this case?
ReplyDeletein the black. (accounting, idiomatic) Having positive net income; having greater income than expenses; making a profit.
