NEWS FLASH
Air Serbia is reducing frequencies on a select number of routes in February and March, bringing them in line with its schedule from November and December 2024.
In February the carrier has removed four weekly rotations on its original plan on flights to Budapest and will now have a daily service instead of eleven weekly. It has also removed two weekly flights on its Ljubljana and Tirana operations, which will now have double daily and ten weekly services respectively. In addition, it will operate one fewer flight per week to Istanbul, Brussels, Lyon, Moscow, Larnaca, Zagreb, Skopje and Bucharest.
In March, the carrier has removed two weekly rotations on its original plan on flights to Budapest and Tirana, which will now have nine and ten weekly services respectively. In addition, it will operate one fewer flight per week to Skopje, Milan, Lyon, Larnaca, Istanbul and Brussels. Flights to Moscow, Ljubljana, Zagreb and Bucharest, which will be reduced in February, will stick to the carrier’s initial schedule in March.
Despite the reductions, Air Serbia will operate 5.4% more scheduled flights from Belgrade in February compared to the same month last year, while growth in March will amount to 9.1%. Changes remain possible.
That is why almost all Lyon flights are now sold out until mid March. Because they moved passengers around.
ReplyDeleteOr knowing JU they might terminate it and turn it into a summer seasonal.
DeleteIt's not cancelled, they really are full after they cancelled one of the weekly flights. Makes sense.
DeleteWeren't LYS and BRU scheduled to operate 2x weekly in the winter? So one flight less means only one frequency per week?
DeleteYes, LYS will be 1 weekly
DeleteNo, LYS and BRU will be 2pw. LYS was scheduled to operate 3pw during Jan-Mar period.
DeleteBRU is 2, LYS is 1.
DeleteTwo consecutive days of bad news for JU. Not good.
ReplyDeleteSo far we have seen articles about Croatia Airlines and Pegasus Airlines also reducing flights in February.
DeleteBut most importantly: "Air Serbia will operate 5.4% more scheduled flights from Belgrade in February compared to the same month last year, while growth in March will amount to 9.1%. Changes remain possible."
The airline makes a profit because it adapts to demand levels. It does not fly empty planes as a result.
Yes, horrific news, disaster of monumental size. You are funny.
DeleteYou always write the same aggressive comments.
DeleteSeasonality issue is still around
ReplyDeleteMore E-jets would greatly help JU reduce seasonality cuts due to lower pax numbers.
ReplyDeleteE-190/195s are ideal for maintaining frequencies during winter.

DeleteAir Serbia is a company that reacts extraordinarily to market changes. It gives results.

DeleteIdemo dalje...
ReplyDeleteDid Air Serbia expect to have additional jets join the fleet and that changed at the last moment?
ReplyDeleteOn LJU time tabe I saw only one week in february 14 not 16 flight and one week in March 15 not 16 flight. Not big reduction ar all.
ReplyDeleteWhat clowns they are!!! ... they enter the flights into the system, you purchase the ticket and then they send you the "sorry for inconvenience" memo letter because they planned badly. Horrible airline in all aspects with regards to customer care!
ReplyDeleteEvery airline does it
DeleteLiterally every airline does this
DeleteBRU is reduced? Would they even fly there anymore? I can't believe there is not sufficient demand for at least 3pw BRU...
ReplyDeleteWizz also cut short Charleroi. No demand actually
DeleteThe Serbian diaspora in Belgium is tiny and Brussels is becoming worse and worse as a destination with each passing year. Molenbeek and Saint Joss look like you're in a Turkish/Arabic Qasbah rather than an EU capital.
DeleteOK, but Brussel is large city, one of the economical hubs of Europe. Not to mention it is capital of EU, with number of institutions associated with EU...
