      I believe that problem is with the capacity of Alanya/Gazipasa airport.

    Serbian tourist agencies organizing those charters are unable to invent creative offers to new destinations. While Belgrade has seen increased number of scheduled destinations in Spain, demand to see additional Spanish destinations as charters have been completely ignored by lazy Serbian tour operators. There are no charters to Spain this summer. Unlike Belgrade, look at amazing set of charter destinations in Spain from Ljubljana: Albacete, Asturias, Barcelona, Bilbao, Canary Islands, La Rioja, Madrid, Menorca, Murcia, Palma de Mallorca, Pamplona, Santiago de Compostela, Valencia, Valladolid, Vitoria, Zaragoza, and Girona.

      I completely agree!!!! Every week here in Athens (I work here) there is a 787 to Singapore full of tourists for there as well as Bali. Right now, here in Greece, Bali is a hit. Recently I saw that the Romanians are using a brand new A321NEO to the Maldives and Bulgaria Air with the A320 even reaches Mauritius. I completely agree with you!

      Distant and exotic destinations are amazing but they are more expensive. Tourist agencies in Belgrade seem scared to risk charters outside proven destinations in countries like Greece, Egypt and Turkey.

      Charters are not necessary for exotic destinations, because people go more individually, regular flights are better..Charters are good only for so called " see destinations" in Geece and Turkey, and schedule of Air Serbia proves that..They are doing good job in regards of planning charter destinations.

      People who go just to seaside and stay only on the beach ( mostly Greece and Turkey) are the ones who mostly use services of agencies, that's why charters are concentrated on those destinations

    Don’t know why wouldn’t they make scheduled lines for some of them? Some are more persistent then some scheduled

    Two years ago JU did charter flights to Oran in Algeria.
    Very interesting place but what was the reason?
    Tourism in Algeria is very underdeveloped.

      Yugoslavia and Algeria once had good relations.
      Of course from then everything went downhill.
      Nowadays the EU would never allow a visa free regime between Serbia and Algeria.
      The ones between Serbia,India,Tunisia and Cuba were also scrapped by the masters in Brussels.

      My thoughts exactly. The term illegal immigration, bound for the EU upon touchdown, spurs to mind.

    There is huge interest in Zanzibar this year, possibly in the winter there may be flights there. On my flight to Dubai (I traveled to Kuwait), there were at least 4 groups to Thailand, Zanzibar and Kenya.

    I have a question, what is the approximate revenue per month from an aircraft leased to a tour operator and what revenue does it receive from wet leasing. This is pure profit, even if there are 50 people on the charter, JU gets the money.

      TOs don't lease a plane for a whole month, not even for a whole day but only for single flights or buy guarantee / or pro rate seats repeatedly for charter chains e.g. once or twice a week between A and B.

      Пре ће бити да је Превеза - Лефкада. А може и за Кефалонију из Нидрија и Василике трајектом.
