NEWS FLASH


Air Serbia today inaugurated flights between Belgrade and Niš, marking its first domestic operation since it rebranded in 2013, as well as the first domestic service in the country since the dissolution of the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro in 2006. With eighteen passengers on board the inaugural flight operated by the Airbus A319 aircraft (without media representatives on board), services will be maintained four times per week, twice each on Thursdays and Saturdays departing Belgrade, and on Fridays and Sundays leaving Niš. Tickets for the new service, which are being subsidised by the Serbian government, went on sale some ten days ago. The flights are primarily aimed at transfer passengers headed to or from the south-east Serbian city who will use Belgrade as their connecting point. Transfer passengers heading to Niš are required to pick up their luggage in Belgrade and check it again, while those flying out of Niš will have their baggage checked through to their final destination. Air Serbia is in the process of launching a slew of new routes from Niš and Kraljevo. Earlier this week the carrier introduced operations from the two cities to Istanbul, while services from Niš to Cologne were launched today/ In addition flights to Ljubljana will be restored this afternoon after almost two years.

    Why sending an A319, when there aren't enough passengers even for an ATR-72?

      The plane goes on to operate several flights from Nis that can't be operated by the ATR. Just because the plane isn't full 10 days after sales begin, on Christmas Eve doesn't mean there won't be more in the future.

    Why baggage cannot be checked through “to” Nis but it can “from” Nis?

      Because the first airport you arrive in Serbia is your point of arrival into the country. Exactly the same as transferring from any international flight arriving into the US onto a domestic flight.

    I don't understand....why is Zakopane not promoted as a ski resort? Bansko and Borovets are not so far away for instance, so JU can also organise charters from UK and Ireland to INI.
    When was the last time there was a ski charter? I tried searching for info online, but nothing much.

      Zakopane is in Poland. I assume you are probably referring to Kopaonik.

      Thompson fly flew LGW-INI back in 2006 with a mix of B737, B757 and B767. The charters were canceled during their second winter season and they never returned. If I remember right, there were issues with organizing transfers to Kopaonik.

      Thanks a lot, JATBEGMEL. Do you know if it is because of the road access from INI or due to the lack of experience of the local tour operators in organising transfers from/to the airport? Was just checking the accommodation prices for a family with 2 children and you can easily book for 100€ for 2 nights in February for all! Honestly, this ski resort needs to be promoted. If it even managed to operate 767 flights as you say. For how long did they last?

      I predict good LF for flights from INI.
      Lots of potential from this region.

    Too bad that JU is not motivated to really develop domestic service. These double daily, two weekly flights are really wasted tax payers money

      Just like the article says, the last domestic destination was before 2006 before the breakup of Srbija and Mne. It still remains the busiest route in BEG. There was apparently no such practice between BEG and INI and ppl preferred land transport instead. This also explains why you barely had 18 passengers on a domestic flight where there are basically zero restrictions.

      Ground transport is even superior in longer range that it kills any attempt of BEG-BUD flights and also BEG-VIE flights are affected and largely maintained by turboprops and regioliners.. I cant imagine how it will be if these cities become connected with high-speed rail.
