Air Serbia to take delivery of seventh ATR72-600

Air Serbia will soon welcome its seventh ATR72-600 turboprop aircraft (pictured), just over a year and a half after starting the renewal and expansion of its regional fleet. The plane, which will be registered YU-ASD, was recently painted in the carrier’s livery in Derby in the United Kingdom. The 72-seat aircraft is nine years old and was initially delivered new to Ireland’s Stobart Air. It has been stored and out of commercial use since June 2021. “We expect it to join our fleet any day now”, Air Serbia said. With the new addition, the average age of Air Serbia’s ATR fleet now counts eight years. In January last year, the ATR fleet averaged 27 years.


The Serbian carrier plans to further expand its ATR fleet, with another three units planned to join by mid-2024. “The optimal size of the [ATR72 fleet] I would say is ten because then you can start benefiting from some economies of scale”, Air Serbia’s CEO, Jiri Marek, said recently. Since the retirement of its ATR72-200 and -500 turboprops earlier this year, Air Serbia no longer has any aircraft in its fleet within its ownership, as all are being leased. The airline has put on hold plans to potentially convert some of its older ATRs into freighter aircraft.

Air Serbia is expected to further expand its fleet with the arrival of a second Embraer E195 aircraft, making it the third Embraer in its fleet overall. Its delivery is likely sometime next month. It will be wet-leased from Greece’s Marathon Airlines but will feature the carrier’s full corporate livery. It plans to eventually transition the Embraer wet-leases into dry-leases. With the arrival of the upcoming ATR72-600, Air Serbia has dry-leased three aircraft so far this year (two ATR72-600s and one Airbus A320). The carrier has seen aircraft lessors pull out of deals in the final stages of negotiations, including for a third A330-200 jet it negotiated earlier this year “because the existing customer has either extended the deal or overpaid”, according to Mr Marek. Air Serbia currently has the youngest fleet among the notional carriers in the former Yugoslavia, averaging thirteen years.

      ZAG usually does really well in one direction but not in the other. Yesterday they had 60 passengers to ZAG and then like 24 on the way back. With more flights connectivity from ZAG will be better so there will be more passengers.

      JU's overall network is still relatively modest especially when looking at the number of frequencies.

      Zagreb needs midday flights to cover JFK and ORD plus some routes to Northern Europe. Zagreb is a very poorly connected airport, especially considering that this winter OU will only fly to 7 destinations that are not LH hubs.

      We could benefit from a midday flight departing from LJU. Personally, I often experience extended waiting times for transfers at BEG because there are no midday flights. Consequently, I opt for alternative flights even though BEG would otherwise be a favourable choice.

      We can also blame JU for this because they made it very tight. If they need new planes by Mach 2024 then they should plan their delivery for January 2024. With all these delays they will be in BEG on time by March.

      Some here like to use any situation to blame AirSerbia. Yes, maybe this is their fault, and also maybe this is not their fault, we don't have sufficient information to know it for sure, but some here believe they are absolutely right.
      So, what do we know for sure:
      1. AirSerbia contracted this plane to be delivered on time taking into account their plans, situation on the market etc.
      2. Leasonr delayed delivery. It is clear that this delay was not planned and was not possible to foreseen it.
      3. The delay impacted the operations, caused the financial damage to AirSerbia etc.

      I don't know, but I believe the contract has some penalties, also there are different guarantees and insurance policies that would cover and protect both sides from risks like late delivery, so I am very confident that AirSerbia had 0 financial impact due to this. Whether there was any other impact, can be assessed, of course.
      So, haters gonna hate, and AirSerbia is going to fly and grow.

      YU-AKC was a JAT B727.
      YU-ALC was an FH-227 for Pan Adria Airways.

      the main differences lie within the cockpit of the ATR72-600, which is an all-glass one, as opposed to a mix of mechanical and electronic displays on the ATR72-500.

      However, marketing was bad and covid happened and the route was discontinued. KVO-VIE had 0 marketing and majority of people did not know the route even existed, people working at VIE also had no idea where the airport and the city are and had no idea that AirSerbia had more than one destination from there. The fares were relatively cheap and the demand is there (knowing that there are multiple daily bus connections to Vienna from that part of Serbia) so if they informed the public properly that there are flights it would be a successful route year round. INI has daily VIE flights and they are all full almost all the time.

    Increase Niš to daily or at the very least a slight increase. I'm here from Australia and I, along with other family members would have flown multiple times but had to use the bus instead. The current situation makes it so hard to arrange flights via Belgrade unless you fly on either of the two days currently provided.

      LH has a large hub in MUC drawing in a tonne of transit traffic.

      JU not only has heavy competition on O&D traffic but also on transit traffic. LH has alot more of our wider region covered with better frequencies almost always. Then there is Aegean, Air Malta, Anadolujet, Austrian, Condor, Corendon, OU, TK, El Al, Egypt Air, Eurowings, Sky Express and more that would be competing for the same markets that JU would be offering via BEG.

      JU being the late comer will have to dump frequencies and trash yields to make an impact and hold on. It's better to just use capacity elsewhere for the time being until JU builds up a better network to the east to make a route like MUC work (ie Caucuses and MENA).

      Not the same.

      JU never pulled out of Frankfurt and has managed to maintain it's position there. Wizz tried to be the third carrier there with flights to Hahn and failed. JU canceled MUC in October 2008 and Wizz took its place with FMM in April 2011.

      LH's flights from our wider region, until the past couple of years, was always centred more around MUC rather than FRA. As an example, LH had MUC-SJJ but not FRA-SJJ. MUC-BEG was for years 3 x daily while FRA-BEG up to 2 x daily.

      BEG only recently started to see more routes capable of having 2 carriers, however quite a few of those routes are where both carriers have poor frequencies (LIS, MLA, HAM, GOT). Routes with 3 carriers doesn't tend to have success and always 1 carrier ends up pulling out (VIE, CDG, GVA, FRA, OSL).

      Launching MUC would be an expensive battle for JU which wouldn't guarantee success. Resources would be better used elsewhere for now. The network isn't quite there neither are the frequencies to really have a competitive edge.

      No, thanks.

      In February SPU has no more than tiny 30.000 passengers flying mostly on domestic routes supported by PSO. That would be unfair competition.

      Apart from it there is a very good reason why KLM heavily decreased SPU on only 1 pw while no other legacy or LCC flies to SPU during the winter.

      So, thanks but no thanks, JU would have much better markets where its JU could fly to during the winter.

      This has already started roughly 3 years ago.

      - ZRH and LJU in the midday wave.
      - LCA also added not only from midday but also 10am.
      - 10 am also sees routes such as BUD, LHR, TIV, PUY, BNX.
      - ROV at 8pm which also accompanies routes such as TGD, SVO, KZN and ZAG.
      - FCO added to the midday wave and this winter will have 4 pw during this wave.
      - MAD at 2 pm.
      - AGP at 9am

      You will see more and more of this as JU grows.

    Are airline customers just overpaying or did the market change? With more cargo conversion and higher travel demand it was expected to see widebody leasing rates increase over 2021 leasing rates while inventory went down. Window of opportunity for cheap lease rates has closed. Airlines that missed the opportunity will have to adapt to new market conditions and pay more.
