The increase in frequencies will last until the end of the summer season, in late October, however, the carrier yet to make changes to its 2022/23 winter season operations.
I guess they profited the most from Lufthansa's collapse in Belgrade. Good for them, they are a good airline.
ReplyDeleteLOT is great. It has a lot of American routes.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think they will profit greatly in the future. I saw that Microsoft took down their sign from the old offices so their transition to Usce 2 has begun. In the next 1.5 years they plan on having 2.500 employees in those 30.000 m2. I think demand to the US will boom.
DeleteWell, the staff will mostly be local.
DeleteNot necessarily as they are shifting positions from Denmark and Germany to Belgrade so those guys will be offered to move to Belgrade if they want to keep their jobs.
DeleteAlso, I don't think there are enough IT guys to fill all those positions in Serbia. There is already a real shortage of workers in that field.
Will JU ever consider restoring Warsaw or is this route blocked from anyone but LOT ?
ReplyDeleteNo way, they failed miserably the last time they operated this route. They even considered sending the ATR!
DeleteLO is king on this route and I am so happy they are doing well. Nice alterantive to the crappy Lufthansa Group!
An E175 king for sure.
DeleteWell king enough to overpower JU and its magnificent A319/733 that used to operate on this route.
DeleteThat is why it doesn't make sense to go to an all A320 fleet when even A319 can't be filled up. Indeed they need an AC between ATR and A319.
DeleteAir Serbia A319 is the right size for BEG-WAW when Air Serbia starts TSN/PEK, ORD, YYZ and goes daily JFK with easy connections from WAW and pricing competitive with LOT.
DeleteIs it me or is the Serbian market showing quite promising signs? To me it seems like many are performing quite well.
ReplyDeleteAll flights from IST to BEG sold out today 10.09. Trying to get to Belgrade , already on a waiting list for 5 days for Saturday....
DeleteMeanwhile today they sent their B737MAX to Belgrade! Hopefully this is just the beginning for them.
ReplyDeleteNice picture of LO at BEG.
