Kraljevo eyes Tivat flights

NEWS FLASH


The head of the Airports of Serbia operator, Mihajlo Zdravković, has said seasonal flights between Kraljevo’s Morava Airport and Tivat could be introduced during the 2022 summer season follwing talks with city authorities in Montenegro. Tivat was one of the busiest routes out of Belgrade this summer, with Air Serbia maintaining seasonal operations from Niš as well, which runs until the end of this week. The airline carried over 5.000 travellers from Niš to Tivat this summer. Air Serbia restored operations from Kraljevo in July by launching seasonal flights to Thessaloniki. It is the only airline serving Morava Airport.

    That would be a really short flight no?

      Approx 30 mins. I'm guessing something like BEG-SJJ in block and flight times.

      I think it's a bit further away, around 40 minutes on the ATR.

    Increase the ATR utilization, good!
    also one way to avoid the dead-head flight BEG-KVO

      Yes or maybe they will fly empty from Belgrade and then operate both VIE and TIV on the same or VIE and SKG and then TIV will be operated as part of a BEG rotation.

      They could operate BEG-KVO-BEG similar to what QF does with JFK, where as the LAX-JFK-LAX takes no domestic pax, only international transfers onto QF flights to/from Australia.

      It could be a solution until domestic arrival/departure facilities are brought back at relevant airports, while not shuttling empty aircraft around the country.

      1. BEG-KVO 0650 0720
      2. KVO-TIV 0750 0840
      3. TIV-KVO 0910 1000
      4. KVO-BEG 1030 1100

      1st sector gets transfers from Balkans, LCA, Russia, ME and JFK.
      4th sector gets transfers for Balkans, Russia, JFK, ZRH.

      Or they can just send it via Tivat. I think the market is larger and more lucrative. Also BEG lacks a terminal for domestic flights so it can't operate INI and KVO.

      Is there any demand for domestic flights from BEG to KVO?

      No. It would only be for connections from BEG.

      The rotation will obviously be BEG-TIV, TIV-KVO-TIV, and then TIV-BEG.

      I don't think I wrote it well. I was implying that JU use the domestic sectors only for international transfer via BEG. Pax would clear immigration in INI/KVO, while in BEG they would be treated as any other regular international pax in transit.

      JU would not in this scenario sell the BEG-INI/KVO-BEG sectors.

      For example, pax could book a KVO-BEG-JFK itinerary but not KVO-BEG.

      @18,32

      I think this will be the case as well. The morning JU200/201 rotation is on the ATR while the afternoon/evening rotation is typically on the ATR and would cut into the curfew in TIV.

      Thank you for the comment and a very practical solution. Enough talking about the domestic terminal. It is for transfers only. Nobody would fly KVO-BEG only anyway.

    This will happen, for sure. I can see many from the region deciding to go there by plane in stead of driving. I hope JU introduces immediately three weekly on the ATR. Two weekly will not be enough. They can easily operate BEG TIV KVO TIV BEG.

      In a few years there will be a direct highway from Central Serbia to Podgorica. But for now a 2-3x weekly seasonal flight on the ATR might work.

    Air Serbia was already the most dominant airline in Tivat and with KVO they will have a really nice network in addition to a mighty number of frequencies. I am surprised Montenegro never considered returning to INI from TIV. JU flying 5.000 people is a decent number. Anyone know how many they had in 2019 and 2020?

    I'm excited to see that they replaced the sign on the building from "Airport Morava" to "Morava Airport" :D

    About friggin time! It's a 6 hour drive at best to Tivat from there. I will be one of the first passengers and when I land back at Morava airport it's a 5-minute ride to Mrcajevci for the best meal combo of pecenje, kupus and a rakija.

      If they operated fights from June to September two times per week and carried over 5000 people then there were around 80 to 100 passengers per flight. It's around 30 passengers per day (one way).

    5. Anonymous20:00

      The 5000 number is one way passengers from INI to TIV.

      Then it means flights were sold out. Hopefully they add more frequencies for next summer.
