NEWS FLASH


The tenth ATR72-600 aircraft bound for Air Serbia is being prepared for delivery at Monchengladbach Airport in Germany and will complement another two turboprops which have already been painted in the carrier’s livery and are also due for delivery. The tenth ATR72 is eight years old but has been stored since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. It was previously operated by Brazil’s Azul Airlines and Portugal’s TAP Express.

    Seems crazy to me that additional 3 ATRs will join AirSerbia but with seemingly no new destinations or increase in frequencies on the regional routes

      But they increase Zagreb, Ljubljana, Dubrovnik, Tirana, Sofia, Bucharest, Thessaloniki, Venice... All regional routes I believe.

      Pa nabave se avioni pa se planiraju rute i frekvencije, više su nego potrebni. Ostaje da se vidi hoće li ih još nabavljati ili će ići samo na Embraer i Airbus.

      Verovatno će neke regionalne rute na kojima je ranije planiran Embraer morati privremeno da rade ATR-om.

    With 10 ATRs they can properly plan for the expansion for the upcoming winter and next summer. This part of the fleet is set, they need 5-6 e195s and 5-6 a320s to replace wet leases and expand fleet...

    That would be something like this:

    - 10 ATR
    - 6 e195
    - 10 a319
    - 8 a320
    - 4 a330

    38 planes in total would be realistic for next summer

      Summer 2025?
      Because this summer has already begun (2024)..

      I do not understand question? You either google it to see the "real" name (Mönchengladbach) or you take this wording from the article (Monchengladbach) and pronounce it. So it is "MoEnhengladbah"

      Actually the correct transcription would be Menhengladbah. (E since Slavic languages don't have the German Ö).

      Well, we always used to call it Менхенгладбах, and have been doing that for a while, due to its football team, so it is going to stay that way.

      No, we don`t call them Vrankvurt or Minken, exept in "Đekna još nije umrla, a ka` će ne znamo" TV series for the latter. But German "OE" we do transcribe as "e", and that would be it.

    JU is apparently doing somehow great job. "Final" fleet will be something like 10 ATRs, 10-is Embraers, 10 A319, 10-ish A320/321 and 4-8 A330s. Amazing. Just amazing
    One question - how BEG plans and WHERE it plans to handle 4 A330s? At the same time? Plus if other carriers send widebodies...where they can be handled at the same time?

      BEG has space for 6 wide-bodies connected to jet-bridges, as well as seventh one at B platform.

      Away with the A319s !
      JU has to replace them with A320s for higher loads and with Embraerjets for lower loads.

      @20:53 Cause once they have more long-haul flights they would depart at certain times so that passengers from other flights can connect with those? Its what all airlines do, check Emirates, Etihad, Qatar, Turkish, Swiss…

      @20:28 Then where will other narrow-body jets be parked at since these 6 gates will be dedicated for the wide-bodies at that time of the day? If the gate is not used for wide body jet then two narrow body jets use the parking space.

      Air Serbia's long-haul flights have three departure banks:
      1) 7:25 - 7:50
      2) 13:25 - 14:45
      3) 17:20 - ???

      Many years will pass until JU has 4 widebodies departing in the same bank.

      Yeah but the E2 is marketed as that by Embraer it's not what it's known as in the industry cause very few airlines fly it
