Air Serbia will be increasing flights across its network as demand continues to recover at a faster pace than initially expected. As of July 13, the airline will be adding additional frequencies to Oslo, Amsterdam, Stockholm and Vienna, while operations to Montenegro will outstrip pre-pandemic levels and will involve the use of the carrier’s Airbus A330-200 widebody aircraft. Air Serbia, which launched two weekly services to the Norwegian capital last summer will now operate four weekly rotations between the two cities, and plans to maintain six weekly flights to Amsterdam, four weekly to Stockholm and daily to Vienna.
The carrier’s General Manager for Commercial and Strategy. Jiri Marek, said, “Having in mind the increased demand and the current changes in travel restrictions, we have decided to increase the number of flights toward the most popular destinations in our network, and provide even better connectivity to our passengers. These are primarily destinations which have traditionally been of interest to our travellers for years, with the exception to Oslo, which was launched last year, but already became one of the most popular routes, which makes us very glad”.
Due to high demand, Air Serbia is adding an additional 12.340 seats on its flights to Tivat during July by introducing an extra 43 rotations to the Montenegrin coast. As a result, Air Serbia will run 54 weekly flights between Belgrade and Tivat in July, while the number of daily rotations on the route will range from six to as many as eight. This month, Air Serbia plans to operate three daily flights to Podgorica. The carrier has scheduled its 257-seat A330-200 jet on services to the Montenegrin capital on July 18 and August 1, with more dates to be added.
Commenting on the developments, Mr Marek noted, “The demand for travel between Serbia and Montenegro has been on a steady rise, and we are pleased to be able to meet passengers’ needs and offer them the widest possible choice. Our primary focus will be on maintaining a sustained and strong air connection between the cities in the region, but also with other destinations in our network. We are being flexible with the type of equipment we are deploying, addressing the needs of our passengers at all times. We have also used our biggest aircraft, the Airbus A330, several times on the route to Podgorica, and based on highly positive feedback we will be utilising it on a more regular basis to accommodate higher demand and offer our customers a superior travel experience”.

I don't know if the second EY A319 is flying. I know both planes are old and not very reliable.
По мени хитно морају решити проблем АТРова.
Anon 09.25 then why don't you do him a favor a post a link to that article????
Мислим да ни они а ни аеродром нису очекивали овакав нагли скок у потражњи. Погледајте Визер, преко ноћи је повећао капацитет са А320 на А321.
"It has returned an Airbus A320 jet (registered YU-APG) and one ATR72 (registered YU-ALV) to their owners as their lease with the company had expired."

Проблем им је Крит где су их Еџиан и Визер начисто поразили.
YU-API has been parked since 11.2020 and hasn't flown since. I suppose both planes have been retired from Air Serbia's fleet.
Догодине не би ме чудило да уз Санторини и Хераклион врате Родос. Мада ја се потајно надам да ће увести Београд-Атина.
They offer 700 seats weekly Air Serbia offers 864 seats weekly. How do they dominate here?
LH had always offer double more flights to BEG than JU and starting from 21.7 they return to 14 weekly.
A couple of regional routes could get an A319 upgrade.
Issue in reality is that even with this fleet they are going to present fantastic results to the Serbian government. Foreign managers at JU don't care about some long-term strategy, they just need to boost their CVs until they can apply at some other airline.
Remember Kondic? After JU he became CCO at Saudia for $100.000 a month. Unfortunately for him he was fired shortly after.
It's the same with the rest of them. Don't think anyone of them is looking at staying until retirement.
As for the fleet, the B733's needed to be retired. This was at a time when the entire fleet was barely operating a flight per day, at best. These shortages will be short term, usually until September. Lockdowns seem to be slowly returning in Europe. In this scenario, expect to see a reduction of flights as restrictions are put in place. Charters are probably the focus because they can profitably fill those as Serbs are in masses heading on vacation - most likely they are making more money on charters than on scheduled routes.
Mogu ga koristiti za cartere, Moskvu, Tivat... Sigurno bi nasli mesta.
Ps. Kolika je razlika operativnog troška izmedju A319 i 321?
Ne znam da li me razumeš? :)
Pa onda polako jos jedan A330.
Interesantno kako je A330 nasao mesto i na "domacim" linijama za Crnu Goru i Rusiju, verovatno bi, kada im naraste mreza, jedan A330 mogao da im sluzi samo za "domace" linije, a dva A330 za interkontinentalce.
Hajde JU smislite se sa agencijama pa nudite Zanzibar i Maldive direktno iz BEG! Jedan let nedeljno za Zanzibar i jedan za Maldive bi bili super za iskoriscavanje A330 tokom zime, a i ljudima je dojadilo da presedaju u Dohi
And then what to say about what Airlines should do in terms of their plans for hiring, leasing, buying the planes etc etc. Impossible. We are in War economy. So from that prospective its day by day thing
DUS 3X
LJU 7X
SVO 8X
CDG 13X
SJJ 5X
SKP 8X
TIA 11X
YAG X5
Dakle, ako je tivat 8 puta dnevno, da od tih 8 letova 2 ide A330.
Ako je Moskva dva dnevno, da jedan bude sa A330...i tako dalje. Znaci da se frekvencije ne smanjuju nikako! Vec da se ide na vise sedista!
ЈУ је имала тек неколико одредишта где је нудила барем 14 недељних летова. На том би морали порадити. Проблем је што не улажу у маркетинг и бренд им је суштински непознат.
