Thank you, those popularity lists are great! Can't imagine what the top 10 for 2022 will look like. If I can add Top 5 titles that made me laugh in 2021:
ReplyDelete1 Air Serbia to compete by being “Wizzier than Wizz”
2 Serbia plans new mega airport for Belgrade
3 Belgrade - Toronto flights “top priority”
4 Air Serbia to launch Beijing service “in January 2022”
5 CEO: Air Serbia looking at China, US and Canada
I remember when people laughed at Etihad buying a stake in Air Serbia. After that they laughed at Air Serbia launching flights to New York. So keep laughing, better to laugh at JU than mourn all the other ex-YU carriers that are deceased or terminal. Happy New Year, anonymous!
DeleteVlad, why are you triggered? You can obviously see it was a very healthy sarcasm. Take it easy, dear and HNY 2022. Although I have to admit the post was entertaining.
DeleteIt wasn't sarcasm, it was an attempt to belittle a very specific flag carrier that also happens to be the most successful in the region that this website covers. I'm no fan of JU and I don't fly them often, but I'm even less a fan of bitter little anonymouses that have to spew their hate here even on New Year's Day.
DeleteI am the Anon at 18:41. Vlad, you completely missed the point of my original post. That was not an attempt to belittle Air Serbia, quite the opposite. I am a huge fan of Air Serbia and I love them, but once in a while it's healthy to have a bit of fun. Most of those titles didn't originate from Air Serbia anyway:
DeleteJust reading "Wizzier than Wizz" makes me laugh! C'mon, Wizzier than Wizz, really? Air Serbia is not getting rid of hub & spoke model, it's not moving to A321NEO, cancelling JFK and turning into ULCC. That was just a catchy marketing sentence that still makes me laugh!
Second one about new mega airport has nothing to do with Air Serbia, it was a government decision widely regarded as laughable nonsense. Third one was a joint statement from Serbian President and Canadian Ambassador, back in Feb 2021. Here we are almost a year later and we all know "top priority" did not materialize in 2021 but many other "lesser priorities" did.
Fourth one was also not a statement from Air Serbia, it came from Serbia Post. Seriously, Serbia Post making route announcement on behalf of JU? Pure comedic gem! After those four, last one is just a natural extension. Air Serbia was actually focused on quick pivot to charter demand and other pandemic-related network changes, retirement of 737s, getting a better deal on A330 lease, replacement of old ATRs etc, but not really on China, US and Canada, so that statement deserves a smile.
