Air Serbia evaluating Toronto and Miami for Americas expansion


Air Serbia is still in the process of evaluating both Toronto and Miami of becoming its third destination in North America. In a statement to the “aeroTELEGRAPH” portal, the carrier’s CEO, Jiri Marek, said both cities have an equal chance of potentially being added to the airline’s network. The Serbian carrier will introduce a three weekly service to Chicago on May 17 and will boost operations on its New York route to daily from June 18. The airline’s primary goal in the development of its long haul network remains the addition of flights to Beijing and Shanghai. “We opened our service to Tianjin in December. The flights have been profitable from the start, which is why we are currently working on approvals not only to grow this service, but also for flights to Beijing and Shanghai”, Mr Marek said. However, the CEO previously noted that he does not expect for those destinations to be added before the fourth quarter due to the length of acquiring necessary permissions.

Explaining the company’s decision to launch flights to Chicago over Toronto, Mr Marek previously said, “Toronto has very strong demand in the summer but is very seasonal, even more seasonal than Chicago, and is even more directional in terms of the beginning of the season and the end of the season, and you don’t have so many beyond and behind options where you can tackle this rigorous directionality. Despite having cooperation with Air Canada in Toronto, this, at the moment, is kind of challenging. We have Toronto on our priority list but in whatever area you look, Chicago was more preferred”.

The CEO said last year that he could imagine Air Serbia operating a fleet of around five wide-body aircraft. However, Mr Marek now says, “As we're seeing at the moment, long haul is doing relatively well, so maybe more jets could be considered”. Air Serbia has short-listed a third A330 aircraft for its fleet. “For us, I call the A330 the ATR of the wide-bodies. It is the perfect aircraft for an airline of our size. It is a very profitable machine, especially with the lease rates we have since Covid”, Mr Marek said last month.

    When could Toronto or Miami be added to the network? This winter or summer 2024?

    They don't need Toronto, especially now they serve Chicago.

    Miami is a year-round destination and gateway to South America, if they were to conclude a codeshare with Avianca, LATAM or other South American carrier.

      Transfers from Toronto via US to Europe are not popular due to the transborder process adding complexity compared to flying via some Euro hub.

      Nobody will transfer from Toronto via any American airport. It’s not convenient. You have to clear customs twice, recheck your luggage, likely switch terminals… absolutely not worth it. Toronto demand will either be via Toronto direct or a gift to the LH group.

      Not true you don’t have to go through any customs in Toronto if you connect to Europe from the States. I did it last week. You go through an in-transit desk and proceed to your gate without any problem. What’s even better you clear USA customs in Toronto on the return.

      Wouldn’t this only apply if you are not on a through ticket and therefore have to clear customs and check in again? Wouldn’t an air side transfer be possible if JFK-JFK or ORD-ORD? In which case you would just remain air side, go through security and board the next flight?

      the problem with miami is that it's busy season is nov-april roughly and most people won't want to travel then if they're in the service industry (and most of diaspora is). second, while miami is a popular tourist destination it's also EXTREMELY expensive. we are talking in-season hotels being 350+ per night for something remotely decent. plus drinks and food are incredibly expensive compared to ex-yu (an average dinner in miami is perhaps $100). while there are people who can afford it for sure, i don't see this beating out many cheaper destinations.

    Miami is a great choice and it will definitely work year around. Last year I traveled to MIA via ZRH with LX and there were 10 Serbian passengers on that flight. No doubt that LX is a great experience, but once travelling with 2 kids and my wife, we would rather prefer direct flights. Our next flight to MIA will be in April with JU/AF via CDG with 7h layover. Totally crap but at least at somehow "affordable price". The return flight with DL/KL via DTW/AMS. I am exhausted even before the departure... So Miami is full of the Balkan diaspora, extremely wealthy Russians & Jewish community and some Mid East population.

    One complaint about Toronto is passengers travelling early in the season and coming back late in the season. Those are mostly grandmothers. Problem can be solved with dynamic pricing. When dates for fare search are entered as leaving in May or June, returning in September, then boost the price. If search is for June returning 2 weeks later, lower the price. That will help reduce one-way tendency early and late in the season.

    The choice of Chicago as the first transatlantic route after JFK is obviously smart because from the direction of ORD in economy class almost all flights are sold out from the launch until the end of June. Only the most expensive tickets remain. I assume that from the direction of BEG the flights are filled later due to the issuance of visas. The profitability of the line to TSN from the very start obviously leaves them room for a quick launch of Toronto or Miami.

    Toronto is restricted to twice weekly flights. That' s a great opportunity for Air Serbia to start flying as Air Canada wiil not compete at that frequency. AC will likely need years before attempting to join. They had about 26 Boeing 767s in Rouge for seasonal routes in Europe but were all retired during Covid. Some destinations like BCN and ATH got promoted to regular Air Canada fleet but most other destinations like PRG, BUD, OTP and ZAG have not been restored yet. AC is more likely to restore those services than to start Belgrade. Latest AC MDA announced delay of A321XLR deliveries so Air Serbia is likely safe from competition for at least couple of years.

      That's not a great opportunity, the issue with YYZ is exactly 2x weekly limitation. Marek won't talk about it because the agreement is made and talks about some seasonality as a main issue. There's no profitability as long as the route is limited, especially during the summer season.

      The real question is why are Air Serbia and Air Canada blocking each other with this pointless agreement. Why they don't just cooperate on the route instead of competing. Meanwhile, people in Canada are reading the same stories for the last seven years...

      Yeah, that limitation of 2 weekly is deal breaker. That is like they limit your 30 table restaurant to serve lunch during lunch hours rush between 12 -13h to 5 tables!!!
      so obviously that is a bit of problem.
      It looks if things stand like this Miami will get advantage and later on Toronto if things change.
      Also, Air Canada is dealing with lots of other issues, lots of pre Covid destinations are not returned. At some point they will sort things out and could be some solution for Toronto.
      Also their relationship with LH group is very strong so they don’t have incentive to jeopardize it.
      So JU priority is first to make it solid with existing Chicago and then expand Miami etc
      And make strong regional network especially Croatia cost. OU and JU should not leave any money on the table.

      Two weekly limitation should not be a deal breaker. Air Serbia initially announced Chicago as twice weekly. Air Serbia is operating Tianjin one weekly, going to twice weekly. Air Canada Rouge started Bucharest twice weekly summer seasonal. Air Transat operated Zagreb twice weekly summer seasonal. That's reasonable frequency to start YYZ-BEG service. Expand start and end dates of the season and then in the following year request frequency increase.

    Strategy should be to first work on existing long hauls and complete their schedule with increasing frequencies, rather than operate several destinations with just 2 or 3 weekly flights. So JU should focus on JFK, ORD and China. I see there the most potential for JU. Once those 5 destinations are yearround on a satisfied level, they can look for new markets. I dont see this happen within the next 5 years
    They also need to ensure that as much as possible good connections in BEG to YU and TIA BUD OTP SOF SKG ATH LCA TLV VIE FCO VCE BEY plus ev. others with the long haul dep and arr. are ensured.

    2. Correct. And Miami, Washington, Houston and San Francisco were just about to be introduced, as soon as MD11 were to join the fleet

    Air Serbia can’t beat Turkish Airlines for Balkan diaspora from/to the United States which Turkish has better service and low offers for Balkan diaspora from anywhere in the US.

      They don't need to beat them.

      They can very well serve it along.

      Turkish requires extra hours of flight time plus connection time (if you are trying to get to BEG specifically).

      No matter flight time for most travelers, which Turkish Airlines have better service, more futures, earn mileage, 2 free check-in bags, great food service 🍲, WiFi in flight, better fleet Boeing B777’s and Dreamliner B787’s etc… that’s why most Balkan diaspora in the USA fly with Turkish better than any EU and US airlines to Balkan.

      Competition is good for all, prices, service and all. If Air Serbia does add Miami, then they will have to at least compete on similar price range first and then ensure other components are there as well (2 free bags are already in play)

    Would be really nice to see Miami. It would be a nice connection to Central and South America

      Air Serbia does fly to many hubs with one-stop connection to Central and South America : LHR, FRA, CDG, AMS, JFK, MAD, LIS...

      All of those European hubs combined wouldn't be able to match AA's connections to Caribbean/Central America/South America out of MIA. It was even more impressive when AA had a relationship with LAN.

      If you cared to look at demand from Belgrade to Caribbean/Central America/South America airports you would find out most of that demand is already covered via European hubs. Miami has advantage (over Europe hubs) connecting to airports like Freeport Grand Bahama FPO and similar small airports that combined have just one digit percentage demand from BEG to the region. In other words, MIA advantage is irrelevant.

    I think CEO politely pushed flights from BEG to YYZ to at least 2-3 years from now, or until further notice. Also, he hinted that Miami might be a better choice altogether. My question is what happened last month so all Air Canada flights being on Air Serbia tickets got cancelled. Who triggered this, and why? Many passengers are now strangled to find summer flights to Serbia since their paid tickets are not valid anymore.
