NEWS FLASH


Air Serbia is set to take delivery of its fourth ATR72-600 aircraft, with the turboprop (pictured below) recently painted in the company’s corporate livery at East Midlands Airport. The aircraft will be registered YU-ALZ. It is nine years old and previously operated on behalf of Aer Arann and Stobart Air. The aircraft has been stored since June of last year. Air Serbia has taken delivery of three ATR72-600s this year, and, in addition to the abovementioned frame, will take up another aircraft of the same type by the end of the year for a total of five turboprops. They are replacing the carrier’s five ATR72s which are on average thirty years old, several of which have now been retired. The airline previously said that it is looking at adding a further five ATRs in the future.

    Absolutely great news, right now you are gambling on which atr you will fly and it's frankly annoying, so I'm glad that there is less and less of a chance of flying on the old rusty birds :)

    Good. Since younger ATRs arrived their operations have considerably improved. It was a nightmare before.

      They fly on lower altitude so scenery is much better. They are reliable and can fly also by Vulcan eruptions. I do remember Vulcan eruptions on Iceland. Only props could fly. For regional flights ATRbis the best

      In turboprop category great passenger plane, very economical low operating and maintenance coast, reliable. Little on the slower side but for missions on the Balkan region, just a perfect plane.

      Turboprops are amazing, I love them too. You actually feel you are flying as the little bugger is attempting to fight off the winds :D They are great!

      With -600 series you actually have less noise at cruise levels than with Airbus. The cabin is great, it is much easier to load and unload, quicker turnoround time.

    Za sledeće leto trebaće im barem još 2 komada. Sa 7 ATR-a bi izbegli povremene kolapse na regionalnim letovima koji su se dešavali ove godine.S obzirom da kreću Kina i ORD verovatno će pojačati i regionalne letove zbog transfera pa ko zna, možda vidimo i 8-i ATR sledeće godine.

    Yesterday evening I flew from Vienna to Belgrade with the ATR 72 600 YU-ALX. I have to say it's a definite difference from the older 72-200 planes. Seats comfortably and with sufficient legroom. The cabin lighting in blue is also very pleasant. The noise level is also significantly lower than that of the older models.

    The first plane I ever flew on in 1970 (from Beg to Split) was a prop . Now and then I fly on the Q400 or SAAB340 and I still prefer that flying experience to any commercial jet.

    This plane flew this morning to Moglenbach, i think this is where cabin outfitting was done for all of the new ATRs. I guess this means it will arrive in a few days!

    That's the last possible registration with letter L... :) I wonder what letter they will choose for the next ATR. Q would be nice, because they skipped it with A330 to R

      YU-AK* were 727s, YU-AL* were DC-9s and now ATRs, YU-AM* were DC-10s, YU-AN* were 737s, YU-AO* were (and are) Air Montenegro F100s & E195, YU-AP* are A319&320s, YU-AQ* are unused regs and YU-AR* are A330s. Am I correct?

      I think they've been using YU-AH* and YU-AJ* for DC-9. Also I think they've never used "Q", even recently they could use it for ATR (YU-ALQ), but they didn't

      YU-AO# were also B737's and A320's.
      DC9's also had YU-AG# registrations as well.
      YU-AM# registrations were given to MD11's (YU-AME, F, G, H) which never ended up being delivered and IL-76's (YU-AMI, J).
      YU-AK# were also Yak-42's.
      YU-AN# were also Tu-134's, Rombac 1-11's and DC9's.

      ATR's will continue on with YU-AS#. Q wasn't really ever used. Exceptions however was a leased JAT B734 that got the registration YU-AOQ and an Avro Anson registered YU-ABQ for the Yugoslav Air Force.
