NEWS FLASH


Air Serbia will be adding a new codeshare partner from the Middle East, its first from the region since downgrading its close ties with Etihad Airways. Speaking at the CAPA Aviation Summit in Gibraltar, Air Serbia’s CEO, Jiri Marek, said, “We will be announcing one additional big codeshare from the Middle East area in the upcoming period. Also, as we previously said, since we are expanding on the US market, we are in the final stages of negotiation of a codeshare agreement with one of the US carriers, which we plan to announce either at the end of the year or the beginning of next year”. Air Serbia is expected to restore operations to the Middle East in 2023 for the first time since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. The Serbian airline currently has no codeshare partnership with a carrier from the Middle East since such arrangement with Etihad Airways came to an end.

      I cant find any reference now, but I think Vučić mentioned couple of months ago cooperstion between Air Serbia and Qatar Airways.

      It would have been great if they managed to have a codeshare with them and maybe even a JU flight to Doha

      The government of Serbia is the majority owner of Air Serbia, and Aleksandar Vucic is the president of Serbia.

      Hopefully that helps you understand the situation better.

    I cant believe Etihad completely gave up on JU after all, not even a codeshare in place, which could actually benefit both airlines

      Makes sense especially now when they have zero interest to restore AUH-BEG, why would they continue codeshare with JU...

      AUH-BEG by Etihad went out of the window the moment Wizz launched this route. It makes no sense for them to fly now especially when you take into consideration there are double daily flights from Dubai as well.

      The market has changed since they left. New players have moved in. Personally I'd rather see QR grow than EY come back.

      No, it happened way before W6 opened BEG-AUH.

      I have the same question and I used to fly the route twice a year at least and it was packed to the last seat…why would they cut it completely?
      They cannot compete with Wizz? Or they don’t want to?

    I doubt it will be someone big as Qatar as that would make Turkish unhappy.

    And what about their North American codeshare partner? They announced it months ago...

    I am happy for them but there is very little reason to be excited about this.Most of their code-share agreements are overpriced and illogical. For example, they tend to be unreasonably expensive and with odd connecting times. Their codeshare with Air Europa sells Madrid for €450 and on some days your trip would last 30 hours. Why would anyone go for that if there are cheaper and faster options with airlines such as Lufthansa and so on.
    Makes you wonder if anyone does sales statistics to actually see how many of these tickets are even sold.

      I hope now that things like loyalty program came under focus, someone will actually have a look at those codeshare prices, too...
