Last Aviogenex jet to go on sale

NEWS FLASH


The bankruptcy administrator of Aviogenex is set to put on sale the remainder of the former charter carrier’s assets during the second quarter of 2025. Among the items up for sale are a 37-year-old Boeing 737-200 jet (registered YU-ANP), which last flew in 2014 and is currently stored at Belgrade Airport, as well as a Robin DR400 single-engine wooden monoplane located in Pančevo. Additionally, various equipment from the airline’s storage will be included in the sale. The B737-200 has been valued at 415.800 euros, while the Robin DR400 is listed at just 255 euros. The administrator plans to sell all of Aviogenex’s assets as a single package.

Prior to the break-up of Yugoslavia, Aviogenex was the busiest charter-only airline in the country, handling over half a million passengers per year in the late 1980s. Despite plans to privatise the carrier in 2013 and the submission of Letters of Intent for its purchase by JetVision Balkan from Serbia, GLT Overseas (Middle East) from the United Arab Emirates, Euroswiss Investment Holding from Switzerland and Arctica Airlines from Russia, the government decided to liquidate the airline in 2014. The company’s former employees have accused the state of mishandling the privatisation process so as to protect the interests of the then-Etihad-backed Air Serbia. Aviogenex was set up in 1968. In 1990, its busiest year, it handled 633.932 passengers with a fleet of ten aircraft.

      Everything else has been destroyed. In 2014 it had pilots, employees, an AOC, equipment...

      YU-ANP should go to the museum as a working 737, not airworthy aircraft. They can sell it in parts, but for future generations intact 737-200 will be priceless! #SAVEGENEX737

      Aviogenex didn't operate flights in 2014 or regular charters for many years.

      It was a wet lease operated by Aviogenex pilots and crew.

      Exactly, so Aviognex didn't operate charters under own brand for a very, very long time.

      Yes thats why Macedonia is now left with no national carrier, and in the past they had three.

      That's why Croatia Airlines which had potential to be major carrier, at least in the Balkans, serves as humiliated feeder, and is failure over failures

    Is ANP airworthy? I know it hasn't flown in a while, but could it find a new life e.g. in Canada?

      What Canadian company would want a 737 that's 30 years+ when there's plenty of retiring 737-700s hitting the market

      There are plenty of Canadian airlines that utilize 737-200 with gravel kits added.

    They could be Giant, if breakup of Yugoslavia didn’t happen.
    With some 767/A330/A340, they could do Charter.

      No SMFH Sir. They were considering adding to fleet B767 and serving North American charter market. But then a single politician from a single ex-yu republic rejected any idea of progress and change in at that time very much and very quickly changing and progressing World

    Save this B737-200 for the Belgrade Aircraft Museum!
    It was then one of the last flying 737-200's in Europe and maybe the world.

    100% agree it should go the museum just like JU’s 737-300s should have and dc-9 and 727. It was sad to see YU-AMB scrapped in France for what?

    Btw this plane was out of date when delivered because JU wad already using more modern 737-300s by 1988. This was one of the last 737-200s made
