Air Serbia to grow Prague capacity

NEWS FLASH


Air Serbia will double its capacity on flights between Belgrade and Prague on select dates next month amid strong demand. The carrier, which maintains operations to the Czech capital with its 72-seat ATR72 turboprop aircraft, will deploy its 144-seat Airbus A319 jet on services on March 8, 14, 15, 17, 22 and March 24. This summer, the airline plans to increase frequencies on its Prague route to eleven weekly.

    I already said that not thriving in Prague with a Czech CEO would be an embarrassment. If anyone knows market dynamics then it's him.

    Good to see them do well. If NUE, TIA or SKG can fill the A319 then so should Prague. Hopefully they keep on upgrading more flights in the summer.

      Just because he is Czech it doesnt mean he can manipulate and create demand. The damand from travel has to come from leiusure and business. This is something that has to come from the citizens of Serbia and Czechia. Looking at the future it doesnt seem that routes to EU nations will be functional for Air Serbia.

      Maybe the airline should focus on Caracas, Tehran and Minsk instead?

      Slav Man, luckily for him, demand is there. It's only a matter of capturing it for themselves. Prague is a big and rich city without a strong national carrier (which Marek knows very well). Furthermore, Czech aviation is centralized around PRG meaning JU is covering the whole country with their flights.

      A successful CEO gives direction to his subordinates. His job is to instruct his sales team what to do on the Czech market and what their expectations are and how these are to be met.

      Let's be honest, BEG-PRG was one of the most successful Air Serbia routes. It was also the first they increased. What we are reading today is a natural progression which started almost a decade ago.

      I can see JU operate BEG-PRG double daily on the A319 down the road.

      It's their longest ATR route right? I wonder if the prices are that high because the economics for ATR flights are not optimised for those lengths. Venice is a bit closer but the prices are also quite high

      The prices are that high because they have a nice captive market. That's it :)

      Literate people read the article and realized A319 is replacing ATR on some days to Prague. For those who are "waiting" for Wizz to start the route, you really have no urgency at all to fly to Prague. It might be 5 years, 10 year or never. You will get there faster and cheaper on a bike.

      @16,04

      Why doesn't Wizz launch BEG-PRG it's ideal for them?

      @17,05

      Tickets at those prices indicate that the flights are full or have at least a decent CLF, which is why they're upgrading some flights over to the A319 on top of frequency increases. In other words strong demand. You can find cheaper fares on different dates.

      @22,55

      You are absolutely right. There are soo many empty seats that JU want to be even more generous and add in more empty seats.

      @23,03

      Wizz BEG-AUH is not 60€ with luggage, that price is barely with cabin baggage. BEG-AUH with luggage starts at 110€ one way. Return flight with luggage starts at around 250€. You also have the comfort and pleasure to have the Wizz experience to fly on a 6 hour sector on an aircraft fitted with maximum amount of seats and seats that don't recline.

      Lufthansa charging 450€ one way BEG-MUC on an economy light fare is normal, but 200€ with JU is absolutely unacceptable I guess. 110€ one way with Wizz to Memmingen (my apologies, Munich West as Wizz also calls it) with no luggage and barely cabin luggage must be a steal. But hey, it's a Serbian company so it must be bad and expensive. Let's also not forget that JU is not an ultra low cost airline.

      BEG-PRG can't be cheap because Prague airport is expensive. It's one of the pricier airports on the European continent.
      Obviously the local market can pay those prices because they are rich enough. At the end of the day €200 for someone might be a lot while for someone else it's next to nothing. Airlines prefer the second category which,anyway, seems to be the clientele using these Prague flights. Adding more seats on the market should help in putting out there a lot more cheaper flights.

      As for Wizz Air, I am sure Ljubljana and Prague are coming in the future. Both seem to be healthy markets from Belgrade.

      Air Serbia offers exactly the same on-board service as all major EU carriers. They are also a for-profit business, which means they should charge as much as they can while keeping the planes full. They are not a social service for bitter leisure flyers who can't afford their ticket prices.

      Eh koliko vas se nada da ce se Air Serbia ugasiti. I ne samo u Srbiji nego malo i zapadnije preko Dunava i Drine.

      Da, uzivamo i uzivacemo u letovima od 200-300€ jer mozemo to sebi da priustimo dok neki poput vas mole boga za propast domace kompanije misleci da ce leteti avionom preko sveta za 20€.

      Dovoljno je samo pogledati cene W6 u Beogradu. Ali indikativno da niko ne kuka kakve cene ima Swiss ili Lufthansa iz Beograda. To je sasvim ok. Ono za Frankfurt kao iz topa mogu da se daju 300-400€ kao i za Minhen. Isto za bus karte gde se kao pseta gurate i vozite 25h tipa do Frankfurta i tad nije problem dati 200€ za povratnu kartu. Realno isplati se. Premijum sedista imate sa pogledom “Horgos” i tako par sati dok se neko ne smiluje da vam pogleda pasos.

      Да ли реално мислите да сте ви исплатив путник било којој од тих компанија? Вероватно уграбите те најјефтиније карте јер купите доста раније али верујте ми, све авио-компаније најмање воле путнике попут вас.
      Такође, мислим да се нелогично издваја Ер Србија. Они нису јефтини али нису ни скупи. Њихове цене су негде мало испод европског просека, барем на основу мог искуства. Како очекујете да летите за 20 или 30 ојра када су аеродромске таксе толико? По вама авио-компаније не би требало да праве профит?

      Управо сам бацио поглед на BEG-AUH за април. Просечна карта у овом тренутку износи 10.006 динара и то у једном смеру. Супер што сте ви платили 20 евра али ви сте створили Визеру губитак. Они не опстају због вас већ због оних који им на крају дана плате 20.000 без кофера да би ишли доле у пустињу.

      I would forbid the 20 EUR passengers, their impact is terrible, both on the economy but especially on the climate. They do not travel somewhere because they need or because they need vacation, they fly because it is 20 EUR.

      €200 seems to be the new norm, people tend to forget that a large chunk of the fare is made up of taxes. Airlines are blamed for it because they are the ones collecting it.

      200 eur today is what 150 eur was last year (or even less in aviation due its cost structure run by fuel) so I don't find that price high. It could be with A319 as a norm though.

      Almost from any place in western Slovakia is good connection to Bratislava, but not so to Vienna. So airline which will first take advenfage of BTS airport can eat big cake alone. People will buy ticket from BTS rather then from VIE. Ryanair has many flights from both airports and its working for them.
