In December 2022, an additional 131.000 passengers flew with Air Serbia compared to the same month in 2021, and 39.000 more compared to 2019. We will share accurate information about the total number of passengers carried in 2022 in the coming weeks, but preliminary results show that Air Serbia handled approximately 2.75 million passengers in 2022, which is only 2% less compared to 2019”, the company’s General Manager for Commercial and Strategy, Boško Rupić, said.

Anon 13:36. Vi genijalno zapazate i uporedjujete status i uporedjujete Er Srbiju. Kada bi Vi i ja bili piloti ni jedan avion nebi poleteo. Ni Poljoprivredni. Ni od papira. Zasto sarkasticno pisete na ovim stranicama?.
DeleteSteta. Sram Vas bilo. U Vama postoji i bolji covek od takvog uporedjenja. Budite Covek. Pokajacete se. To vam zelim. Srecna Vam nova godina.

Roki, možete i vi malo smirula, čovek se šalio.
DeleteExcellent result and hopefully this encourages them to keep on improving their product. Now they have more passengers, more revenue, more disposable income... so they should invest into building and promoting their brand.
ReplyDeleteI guess they could have 3.6 to 3.7 million next year especially since their network growth starts quite early, already from March.
I would say about 3.5 million passengers this year, and 3.8m next year.
DeleteAlmost 1 milion more? 35%. Than BEG goes 7 million +. Daj Bože!
DeleteNot impossible, in the first three months of 2023 they will probably have simular growth rates as '22 to '21 numbers due to COVID restrictions. Probably by April 1st they will be around 100% growth for 2023Q1/2023Q1.
DeleteThe growth will be reduced afterwards but with the earlier start of the season and a major increase in routes in frequencies, an extra million pax does not seam improbable
2023Q1/2022Q1*
DeleteAir Serbia is truly the bright star of the region and in a class of its own.
ReplyDeleteAgree!
DeleteCongrats to Air Serbia! Wish them many more passengers next year :)
ReplyDeleteThis means BEG airport had about 5.6 million in 2022.
ReplyDeleteI flew BEG-MAD today on the A320. It was full to the rim. I expect them to upgrade MAD in summer to at least 4 weekly
ReplyDeleteThey're also sending tonight A320 to PRG, crazy !!!
DeleteWhy it's crazy ?? It is mostly serbian tourists returning from their new years vacation from Prague ! I find it logical !
DeleteSorry guys, Prague got the A320 because one of the old ATRs broke down.
DeleteI flew to Malaga on the 28th of December. Full flight.. Flight back to BG tmoro, I expect it to be full as well.
DeleteLet us know
DeleteI flew INI-IST on Tuesday and it had around 120 passengers on A319.
DeleteWow! Dats a lot.
DeleteGreat results! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteMy wishes for 2023:
1. Improved BoB offer that would include also some souvenirs and non-alimentary products (not necessarily parfumes and drinks, but really Serbian and Airserbian souvenir, plane models etc.). This can generate some income and there's basically no vaste.
When it comes to the food, more diversity would not harm, although I like what they offer now.
2. Further improvement of the mobile app, maybe some changes on web site and in general development of the digital solutions like in flight app etc.... And definitely return of WiFi to their planes.
3. Opening to the international crew, the one from neighboring countries above all.
Agree.
DeleteCrew from neighboring counties would be added benefit. Especially Macedonia & Albania, sInce it appears harder to find crew from Serbia.
Questions is how would the logistics work? Would these crew members have to live in Beograd full time? Where would they live? Would JU arrange accommodation?
That's to be though about, but for the start Albanian crew may fly live in Albania, and stay on arranged accomodation in Belgrade for some days. Later AirSerbia could really arrange accommodation for those people and cover the costs + offer some Serbian language courses so they can cover majority of passengers. That would meke they really a regional company and resolve a problem with hiring. Albanians and Macedonians can work in Serbia without restrictions anyway.
DeleteJasmineeeeeee! Dje si??? Jel'te bar malo sram?
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that they don't even follow regional aviation so I doubt he even knows about this.
DeleteI agree. And not only regional. They don't follow aviation at all. Visible from their results.
