Nordwind plans third destination from Belgrade

NEWS FLASH


Russia’s Nordwind Airlines plans to introduce a one weekly service between Rostov-on-Don and Belgrade starting September 16. Tickets have already been put on sale, however, the flights are subject to regulatory approval. The Serbian Civil Aviation Directorate has previously failed to issue S7 Airlines and Ural Airlines permits to commence services between Moscow and Belgrade in line with the restrictive bilateral air service agreement in place between the two countries. Nordwind already maintains flights from both Moscow and St Petersburg to Belgrade, both of which were launched this year. If its service from Rostov goes ahead as planned, it will compete directly against Air Serbia on the route, which launched flights between the two cities this June. Further details for Nordwind’s new Rostov - Belgrade operations can be viewed here.

    Hopefully they launch these flights like they did with LED and SVO.

    ROV seems to be successful destination for JU and we all know it means Nordwind won't be allowed to fly that route.

    Is demand so high. I assumed that most of passengers on JU are transfer passengers. But now with Nordwind it seems that there are also direct traffic

      My thoughts exactly. From what we've heard JUs flights are 90% transfer. So don't see how S7 can make this work. Maybe there are, or will be more city breakers than we think.

      Number of Russian tourists is booming so obviously they are flying in on JU, N4 and SU. In June alone there were over 6.000.

    Smart airlines pick routes without competition. Other airlines pick routes with competition.

    Nordwind could have picked unserved destination with next highest demand. Now they don't have anyone else to blame but themselves.

    1. With one weekly service, I doubt they are committed to Belgrade. I just think they want to probe our CAD (throw s**t at a wall, see what sticks)

      Normal airline's job is to fly. Not to probe CADs.

      They aren't probing the Serbian CAD - Rostov is one of the four cities for which they received approval from Rossaviatsia. The other cities include Kazan and Mineralny Vody, but I can't recall the fourth. It's posed online anyhow.

      Approval from Rossaviatsia means nothing. S7 and Ural had same approval but were blocked by Serbian CAD.

      I understand that, and it's all due to the prerogative of the Serbian CAD (which most of us disagree with, but that's beside the point). Point is them applying to one and the other doesn't equate to "seeing what sticks," but rather a business decision of some sort.
