Air Serbia to renumber flights

NEWS FLASH


Air Serbia plans to change flight numbers on some of its Belgrade routes starting from the 2024 summer season, which begins on March 31, 2024. The change will affect flights from JU100 to JU999. The carrier will modify flight numbers for operational and organisational purposes. The airline has  restored the flight numbering system on some routes used by its predecessor JAT Yugoslav Airlines. For example, flights to and from the likes of Rome and Milan will reinstate their historical flight numbers from late March of next year. The carrier will notify passengers of changes to their flight numbers. Passengers are advised to double-check their flight information before traveling to ensure they have the most up-to-date details, including the flight number.

    Hopefully this LCA flight change is the last one, in 10 years they changed it three times.
    Etihad was the first one to change it from JU 068/069 to JU 506/507 then it was later changed to JU 800 sequence and now to 480.

    On a side note uniforms look much nicer in the video than they did during the relatively awkward show they organized. At least to me they look better than the ones they had until now.

      А шта је тачно непрактично? Када их погледам не видим шта је ту тачно тако страшно? Мени се чини да би наша посада највише волела да иде около у тренерци и то је то.

      Баш сам сада гледао униформу КЛМ-а и она ми се чини доста комплекса за ношење али и за одржавање. Њихова посада нема тих проблема већ је поносно носи. Искрено мислим да наша посада више кука да би кукала против свог послодавца него била шта друго.

      @nemjee Agree! Sometimes I think they forget they are there for the passengers, not the other way around. I think the forget that it is the passenger that is the King, not the other way around. As for the KLM crew, amazing people, jolly, funny, enjoying their work. They are not the best paid people in the Netherlands, but still do not go around like haters, quite the opposite.

      to add to trenerka ... when i see them visibly chewing the gum... OMG only trenerka is missing

      To explain the unpracticality: the shirt of the female crew gets cresses on these “wing like” details when worn under the jacket and it loses its shape. After a relatively short period of wear it looks sloppy.
      On a side note KLM crew has an allowance for uniform upkeep while Airserbia does not provide one and you are expected to pay for the upkeep yourself from your dwindling salary.

      Well if they are unhappy with their dwindling salary they can always seek employment elsewhere.

      Yea. Typical Serbian way of thinking, just leave. Not improve something or someone. Just keep employing poor quality of people and do whatever you like with them. And about the uniform.. Hmm. Looks nice with the jackets on, but with ethno motive on the pants and buttons, that's just too much. It looks like we pay so we want everything.
      And yea, hey let's make fun of people. Not support them also Serbian style. Why would listen what they are talking and complaining about, not our concern right?!

      It makes it easier for example that flights to Athens and Thessaloniki start with the same flight number as the ones to the Greek islands, which was not the case.

      RTS is not really an institution to be used as a reference to the language. They use accent that no one no where speaks.

      Anon 14.11, you are absolutely wrong. It's not spoken in Belgrade, but since when Belgrade modern accents are any reference?! Go to the Western Serbian and you will hear people actually speak like RTS. And if you don't believe, please ask someone who studied Serbian language to give you the lesson about accents.

      By that logic what benefit did Etihad have from changing them in the first place? On the other hand Air Serbia is sticking to continuity and keeping a certain tradition alive. Many passengers get used to flight numbers over the years. People like many things but change is not one of them.

      I guess it is relevant only if there are multiple flights on the same destination on the same day.

      They are not changing it for passengers, they are changing it because of internal reasons.

      I usually know the flight number, however I agree that from the point of view of a pasanger, the flight number is not that important. After landing in the US, you will be usually asked to fill out customs form in which they ask you for the flight number.

      @15.44 that's precisely an internal reason. But, you are not correct. It has nothing to do with EY or its legacy.

    9. The only thing I need to understand is that AirSerbia is returning the JAT flight numbers, yet at the same time, they managed to outgrow the entire system. These may be first-world issues, but, for example, I tend to tell my assistant to get me on JU190/194 on certain days and make sure I return on JU601/605 on the day I need to. People may see it as superficial, but from a business-oriented passenger, it does help to know the numbers. All/any of them.

    It is crazy to think those routes now are more than 10 years old!
