Air Serbia hit by Amsterdam seat quotas

NEWS FLASH


Air Serbia will be forced to reduce capacity on services departing Amsterdam to Belgrade after Schiphol Airport issued a request for the airline to reduce its number of seats on offer on flights from the Dutch city from Thursday, July 7, until the end of the month. Schiphol Airport noted it cannot organise a work process that would enable Air Serbia’s aircraft to be handled on time due to severe staff shortages. The Serbian carrier has responded angrily to the request, noting it has asked for Schiphol to reconsider its decision and that it will explore legal action. Furthermore, it notes that KLM will have an unfair advantage on the route, as it will be able to organise its operations more easily from its hub airport. “Air Serbia believes that by imposing these types of restrictions and limiting the number of passengers per flight, will cause great financial and reputational damage, primarily due to the number of passengers with purchased tickets who will be denied boarding in case the aircraft is already overbooked over the given quota on certain days, despite seats still being available on the given flights. Air Serbia also believes that such a move is not based on a relationship of mutual respect and appreciation, bearing in mind that the Serbian national carrier has been flying continuously on this route for over fifty years and that it was the only airline to maintain traffic between Belgrade and Amsterdam for a long period during the coronavirus pandemic”. It added, “In the end, the Serbian national airline, like all other carriers, was obliged to plan and operate all flights to Amsterdam Airport based on historical slots, without the possibility of reducing the volume of traffic, and in accordance with the policy of retaining historical slots adopted by the competent EU institutions. Paradoxically, a new regulation was passed which now requires airlines to reduce capacity and cancel flights, which have since sold out due to increased demand for travel this summer”. The capacity quota will not affect services from Belgrade to Amsterdam.

Nigde se ovo neće desiti u Istočnoj Europii jel ipak kod nas se zna šta je od vitalnog značaja i da svi vidovi saobraćaja mora da funkcionišu normalno. Sra.ota je sta te zemlje rade

      Sorry to disappoint you, but the reason we don't have these meltdowns in Eastern Europe is because unemployment is high enough that you can easily procure extra staff in times of crisis. not because we are somehow better at management.

      In Western European countries where unemployment is 3-4% no one cares to work in the security line at an airport when even food delivery people make more money, plus the screening process for airport security workers is long and tedious.

      The solution, of course, is to pay people more, but then execs won't be able to take home hundreds of thousands in bonuses.

      Sorry to disappoint you but unemployment in eastern European countries is pretty low because all people who didn't have a job left. Even Serbia struggles with qualified workforce. Era of endless supply of cheap workforce from eastern Europe has come to an end.

    They should slap them with a lawsuit as a payback for the Hell the EU gave them over Russian flights.

    Once they get compensation from AMS they could invest those funds in getting their second A332. :D

      The problem is not with the number of passengers on a plane, but with the number passengers originating at Schiphol. KLM is trying to shift more towards transit passengers these days.

    I think that the DCV should force KLM to reduce flights to BEG as a reciprocity measure.

    The action by AMS is a violation of the Open Skies agreement.

      Мирославе, nobody wants to work in Western Europe for a long time. The English and French got used to have them pesky Eastern Europeans take care of their parents.
      The Dutch always bragging and pretending to be the first have failed miserably. Guess what? Karma, maybe? Not only JU but many other airlines have suffered from the inept authorities that weren't prepared for the unexpected travel demand. Some people haven't travelled for 2-3 years and were longing to see their loved ones or to enjoy a short vacation somewhere following the (in)visible virus. Oh wait, it suddenly disappeared from the news including the cases and now everybody is suddenly free not to wear a mask outside or in supermarkets but in hospitals yes, where there are usually less people.
      Also this silly billy Dutch government thinking "green" on reducing flights to a an airport with SIX runways and important connections to the rest of the world.
      Today, Europe and EU is getting a really strange place.

      Karma will be a bitch in the sense that these airlines and airports are not going to make enough money in summer to survive the coming winter. Their cash reserves will be at a minimum and gas prices are expected to keep on rising, same with inflation. I wouldn't be surprised if many EU economies crash. Germany already announced restrictions on hot water usage.

    Germany under Merkel accepted more than 3 million refugees and now almost a million from Ukraine, but there are severe shortages of workers in restaurants, airports, services…..my favourite restaurant in Frankfurt opens just 3 days a week, because they can‘t find staff. And you know why? All theses people receive unconditional welfare that covers their needs. No Need to get up in the morning and work. Because of lack of space the Ukrainians are accomodated in very good Hotels all around. All meals, clothing, internet etc. for free and on top allowance per Person of almost 500€ monthly!
