NEWS FLASH
Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport registered its strongest start to the year to date by handling 445.840 passengers, representing an increase of 85.0% on last year, and up 10.6% on the pre-pandemic January of 2020. The number of commercial aircraft movements stood at over 32% on last year. Belgrade Airport is expected to see a record year with 29 new routes scheduled so far to launch in the coming months.
Off to a great start to 2023. Nice!
ReplyDeleteBravo BEG, Bravo Serbia! 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸
ReplyDeleteBEG dao svima zadacu ove godine!!
ReplyDeleteBeograd treba porediti sa Sofijom i Sulunom. Tu ce biti 7 do 9 miliona putnika u 2023. Ostalo sve po EXYU nije klasa Sofije i Soluna, nego provincijskih manjih aerodroma od 2-3 miliona putnika.
DeleteI feel like half of those flights were just me :) I can't wait until they open up the front road for cars. It's really a hassle to get to parking.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations BEG on this phenomenal result. What impresses me the most is how well others, in addition to JU, have been performing.
ReplyDeleteAir Serbia had 219,216 passengers in January. Let's say they had 9.000 in INI and KVO combined, then their marketshare in BEG comes out to be 47%.
Just goes to show how strong local demand is. Hopefully it continues like this in the coming months.
On track to 7 million passengrs this year.
ReplyDeleteWith all travel restrictions by western countries against Serbs, still we rocking, in two year time will be 10 mill

Delete``Against`` lol
Rules were imposed on Serbian citizens and not only them, but it was not against them lol
If restrictions were imposed on them without a good enough reason then they were directed against them. Especially at a time when certain countries like Germany, France, Italy... didn't respect Serbian's choice of vaccine and forced them to get the Pfizer one.
DeleteIt was for any country based on red/green map of Robert Koch institute. Serbia was red for the most of the time, together with other Balkan countries.
DeleteNot true as when otherEU countries were red their citizens could freely move around. In any case, it has been proven by now that the EU's travel restrictions were based on racism.
DeleteKad bi irska skinula vize bili bi letovi 7x nedeljno
ReplyDeleteWhen mentioning that, what is actually a reason they (and the UK) keep the visas? What should be done to have them removed, more political contacts?, Some security requirements? Honestly, I never understood this. If they at least issue the visas like the USA it would be nice.
DeleteIt's the UK that requires the visas. Ireland is in some kind of customs union with the UK and has to follow UK rules. If it was for Ireland they would probably abandon visas & join Schengen like the rest of the EU.But they can't. UK doesn't care to change it's ways to accommodate Serbian citizens, it's the job of Serbian diplomacy, which is in shambles, nepotism, corruption & incompetence. So Serbians should ask their own MFA about the visas, not the UK.
DeleteIf Serbia implemented reciprocity and required visas for UK passport holders then we would see a lifting of visa requirements for Serbian passport holders rather quickly. The UK monitors their "passport visa score" rather closely - it's almost a competition with mainland EU countries.
DeleteAs I said it's Serbian MFA that has to act. But they don't give a flying freak, since they all have diplomatic passports. Who cares for the rest of us. On top of it, the guy with the top job there doesn't even speak English.
DeleteWell we had reciprocity some two decades ago and it didn't work, they insisted on visas.
DeleteYes, but two decades ago we/Serbia were a pretty seriously messed up country. Which is not any more the case. The possibility of instituting visa requirements for UK citizens should be raised and followed through if His Majesty's diplomacy ignores the perfectly reasonable request. In truth, the diminished UK diplomacy has very few levers against Serbia -- they are already doing their most against the core Serbian interests, and they have no influence in Brussels any more so they can't influence the Schengen area decisions. I think they would assess the situation and realize that a reciprocal visa regime would not be a good outcome
DeleteAnon13:43 Serbian citizens do not need a visa for ANY European country, apart from the UK & unfortunate Ireland that has to follow the decisions of UK on that matter, unwillingly I'd say. It wasn't the case 20ish years ago, so your comparison is kinda outdated
DeleteIz danasnje Politike: "Београдски аеродром „Никола Тесла” је повећао цене путничких такси за 16 одсто. Та наканада за међународне путнике износи 16,19 евра, за домаће 8,71 евра, а за путнике у трансферу 4,1 евро. На ове цене треба додати и накнаду за обезбеђење од 4,48 евра, али је ова такса остала непромењена у односу на прошлу годину.
ReplyDeleteНови ценовник, који је објављен на сајту београдског аеродрома, примењује се од почетка године. "
