NEWS FLASH
Air Serbia will resume operations between Belgrade and Barcelona next month, marking its return to the Spanish market after more than a year. Flights between the two cities will operate twice per week, each Thursday and Sunday, starting July 4. “We are happy to be renewing the direct air link with Barcelona, a destination that is extremely popular among our passengers, both in terms of business and leisure travel. We remain focused on every opportunity that presents itself on the market, in order to be able to continue producing good results and to be able to offer our passengers the greatest possible selection of destinations during the vacation season”, Air Serbia’s general Manager for Commercial and Strategy, Jiri Marek, said. Serbia’s Green Certificate is recognised by Spanish authorities, enabling Serbian citizens to enter the country for non-essential purposes.
Awesome news... wizz should respond with valencia
ReplyDeleteIt's not possible. Maybe BCN, but next year
DeleteVLC was mentioned as one of the Air Serbia's potential new destinations from BEG among other cities for summer 2020, but it has never actually happened.
DeleteValencia and its region is an excellent place to visit as well. However with a rented car from Barcelona airport you can get there in 3 hours. Andalucía would require 9 hours drive therefore and additional flight from Barcelona. That's why Malaga needs a flight. Before the pandemic, Sofia airport (via Wizz and Air Bulgaria) were filling planes full several times a week. That's why, I am pretty sure a flight to Malaga from Belgrade would be a success.
Delete+1
DeleteI think anything beyond MAD and BCN is an issue for JU because it complicate things with transfers. A plane can't go and come back in time, heck MAD used to miss several destinations because of this rather unpleasant phenomenon.
DeleteYESSS! I would love to have a direct flight from Belgrade to Malaga! That would be amazing!
DeleteFinally, it was about time!
ReplyDeleteAir Serbia on fire last few weeks!
ReplyDeleteAAAAAAAA ne mogu da verujem, ovo je sjajno, barem za mene, olakšava mi I skraćuje put na Ibicu 🥰
ReplyDeleteInteresting that they will fly on Thursday which is a day with limited transfer options. Maybe they will rely on transfers?
ReplyDeleteRely on locals, sorry.
DeleteI noticed Vueling is boosting flights from July. Loads must be good.
ReplyDeleteWhat matters is that they finally have a normal timetable for BEG! I see they will have a 07.20 departure from BCN!
DeleteIs that normal?
DeleteCompared to the middle of the night flights it is!
DeleteMiddle of the night that was late like 90% of the time.
DeleteHow many times a week?
DeleteI think they had three flights and two out of those were at like 02.00 from BEG. Btw they are horrible with the on time performance. Their Italian operations were so bad that they got threatened by the government that they will lose their licence.
DeleteAnd now, how many times a week?
DeleteThree, up from two they had until last week.
DeleteThats actually very good!
DeleteThe South of Spain is a forgotten place by airlines in the Balkans. Málaga Airport brings millions from all Europe and Andalucia is big as Portugal and requires weeks to be discovered.

DeleteMálaga is a jewel of a destination and not to mention Sevilla. Plus, the Andalusian beaches are much more beautiful compared to the ones in Costa Brava.
There is definitely room for Mallorca - another great destination, but it is invaded with Germans. They nickname it the second Germany outside Germany.
Malaga would be a good charter destination.
DeleteNot so much for regular service.
There are from September regular flights to Malaga from Sofia with Ryanair, wizzair and airbulgaria. Why wouldn't regular flight be possible from Belgrade? What Sofia have that Belgrade havent?
DeleteThere is a sizeable Bulgarian diaspora in the whole of Spain, Malaga area included. FR flights were just recently launched 2 weeks ago and will operate on the same days as Wizz. They did this intentionally to kick them off like they did with BCN, MAD and the new Italian destinations such as BRI, CTA, and BLQ.
DeleteI wonder why they're only restarting BCN and no mention of Madrid!
ReplyDeleteBecause Barcelona is popular with Serbian tour operators.
DeleteOčekivano,posle jučerašnje vesti o iznajmljivanju aviona. Nadam se i povratku u Madrid u Julu ili Avgustu.
ReplyDeleteCorona would have been the opportunity for Iberia to start Belgrade flights.
ReplyDeleteWell there still is.
Twice a week should do the job for the beginning.
Hola! Iberia would be spectacular as we would have access to their global network especially to Latin America.
DeleteAnd they would be from Oneworld ! We need more Oneworld !
DeleteWe do! Qatar is getting lonely.
DeleteIs JU better in oneworld or SkyTeam? Oneworld has more prestigious airlines. SkyTeam is a bit regular.
DeleteJU would be better suited for Oneworld because their membership would fill a big gap OW has in SE Europe.
