NEWS FLASH
Jazeera Airways has cut short its planned operations between Kuwait City and Belgrade, which were launched on a seasonal basis this summer. The low cost carrier plans to operate its last service of the year on the route on September 1. Initially, the carrier intended to end its two weekly operations on September 22. The flights have been primarily marketed at Russian transfer passengers.
Russian tourists?
ReplyDeleteIt says it's for 319 euro one way and if you go round trip its 593 euro...it is for people who have the required €
ReplyDeleteThe fares are quite reasonable, but I guess that people don't want to spend that much time flying and transfering...
ReplyDeleteWith couple of JUs flight and many JU/TK options for transfer to Russia daily, this didn't make much sense.
ReplyDeleteIm confused, does that mean that they are opening BEG-SVO route?
ReplyDeleteWhat are you talking about? Is it difficult to read 4 sentences in the article?
DeleteIt actually does say direct flight in their post.
DeleteDirect in English means one stop in aviation terminology. Nonstop means without a single stop. Although, even many airlines don't know the difference in this English terminology.
DeleteNeither me direct mean with no stops full stop
DeleteIn English it does not. Direct is worth a stop.
Delete*with
DeleteNo demand there. Sadly the Middle East destinations apart from big hubs like DOH AUH or DXB are difficult out of BEG.
ReplyDeleteStrange logic, tbh. It is more logic for Russians to fly into BEG via EVN or TBS than KWI.
ReplyDeleteAlso, it might make more sense to try RUH or JED as they are getting more popular.
There are no direct flights between BEG and aforementioned cities. There are plenty of flights to IST and other Turkish cities though.
DeleteI remember how there was an article on here how they are confident in the route's success. What happened ya'll?
ReplyDeleteI mean that might went wrong we all now hope for BEG-Uganda flights and how successful they will be !!!!
Delete^ i wonder what the point of your comment is? Hate, jelousy, complex?
DeleteJAT had flights to Kuwait, any chance for Air Serbia?
DeleteAs you can see there is no demand so no Air Serbia in KWI.
Delete^ what makes you think that another airline wouldn't have more success? KWI is the busiest unnerved market in the Gulf from BEG. Also what makes you think they won't resume flights next summer? While I understand you are excited that they reduced flights by 2 weeks, you might want to wait.
Delete*unserved
Delete@20.06
DeleteNot only JAT had flights to KWI but Kuwait Airways operated to BEG on B707. But at that time Yugoslavia was market of 22 million people, leading country of non-aligned movement, and had construction companies which built half of Asia and Africa
How KWI can be unserved if Jazeera is flying there from BEG?
DeleteObviously up until the point it was launched.
DeleteHow KWI has demand when jazeera hasn’t upgraded BEG to year-round and cancelled September flights ?
DeleteObviously demand isn't as big if they struggled to make this route work. Also I think one mistake they made is that they did not start with good times which would offer connections to Dubai.
DeleteTK is happy about this because they carried most of this traffic. Back to IST guys.
20:53 I totally agree, with some fair price and connections Air Serbia could have success with Kuwait not only during summer season. Just before Air Serbia was formed JAT had Kuwait route. In addition, JU should have at least one Gulf route.
DeleteYou don't like direct Airserbia flights? Transfer in Istanbul is too much for you? No worry, we've got you covered! Fly lowcoster for 4 hours to Kuwait, and 5 hours more after that!
ReplyDeleteAnd from SJJ Jazeera is flying 2x daily to Kuwait City, and on top of that Kuwait airways is flying as well to the same place.
