Air Serbia and Romania’s flag carrier TAROM have expanded their codeshare partnership to include a number of new routes. As part of the agreement, Air Serbia has placed its flight numbers and designator code onto TAROM’s services to/from Bucharest to/from Iasi, Oradea, Cluj-Napoca, Suceava, and Chisinau. In return, TAROM now codeshares on Air Serbia operated flights to/from Belgrade to/from Ljubljana, Podgorica, Tivat, Zagreb, Stockholm, and Oslo.
As previously reported by EX-YU Aviation News, Air Serbia will increase frequencies on its Belgrade - Bucharest service from last year’s eight/nine weekly to double daily during the 2024 summer season. On the other hand, TAROM will boost frequencies from the three/four weekly maintained last summer, to five weekly rotations. Previously, the two airlines only codeshared on each other’s flights between the Serbian and Romanian capitals.

DeleteNo chance. More likely Tarom takes over Air Serbia

DeleteKad bi se zezali.
The LJU codeshare is nice, considering Bucharest was Ljubljana's top unserved destinations a year ago iirc
ReplyDeleteGreat news for SkyTeam frequent flyers!
ReplyDeleteStockholm and Oslo, weird two choices.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't Tarom fly there?
No, they do not.
DeleteInteresting.
DeleteFinally they started paying attention to Romania.
ReplyDeleteRomania has been ignored for a long time by Air Serbia and its predecessors.
DeleteThey can codeshare with TK to Constanta.
DeleteDue to capacity issues, now with the Embraers AirSerbia will be one of the largest players in Romania...you will see!
DeleteSo instead of launching flights to a handful of those cities few times a week they decided to fight competition, name it Wizz Air, through densification with their common foe. Well, good luck to JU and Tarom.
ReplyDeleteLet's see how this plays out.
Does rust mean that we may still expect some of the Romanian cities to be added as directed flights, and code share to supplement it?
ReplyDeleteHonesty I hope so because the codeshare to secondary Romanian cities only makes sense if someone's final destination is BEG or vice versa. Imagine for example if you want to travel from Iasi to Ljubljana, that's two connections in the same region and it's very time consuming.
DeleteI think that JU will make its decision soon based on this codeshare performance.
And then reality hits and you notice that Tarom doesn't even sell these flights (you can't even select Oslo or Stockholm on their website).
ReplyDeleteJU's alliance department is beyond useless. First the Etihad nonsense and now this.
Are you for real that you expect for it to be already in the system?
DeleteYes, this codeshare wasn't announced yesterday but a few days ago. Actually RO on their website doesn't sell anything via BEG.
DeleteActually, just checked.
DeleteOn RO's website all codeshares and entire region are alive and covered via BEG.
And they can't be booked which is a shame as I am sure Romanians can't wait to fly for €1000 to Oslo with JU. Those seem to be generally prices for JU codeshares.
DeleteIasi-Ljubljana via BEG is 200 Eur.
DeleteWhat are you talking about?
