Air Serbia upgrades Bari service to year-round

NEWS FLASH


Air Serbia is extending its seasonal summer service between Belgrade and Bari into a year-round operation. The route will run throughout the winter season, which begins on October 26 and tuns until March 28, 2026, operating twice weekly, on Thursdays and Sundays, with the ATR72-600 aircraft. Tickets are now available for purchase through the airline’s website. Speaking to EX-YU Aviation News recently, Air Serbia’s CEO, Jiri Marek, noted, “This winter, for example, we see some promising opportunities. Last year, we had already evaluated certain destinations for winter extension, but unexpected maintenance issues limited our capacity. Now, we’re seriously considering extending some routes, possibly even year-round, where market conditions allow”. As a result, this winter, Air Serbia will maintain flights to seven destinations in Italy, including Rome, Milan, Bologna, Florence, Naples and Venice, alongside Bari.

Commenting on the service upgrade, Antonio Maria Vasile, President of Bari Airport operator Aeroporti di Puglia, said, “We are particularly pleased with the agreement reached with Air Serbia to extend the service into the winter months. This strategic decision reflects our desire to boost tourist flows to our region even outside of the peak season, with a view to deseasonalising and promoting the Puglia region”. Mr Vasile also emphasised the symbolic and cultural importance of Bari for the Balkan countries and the Orthodox Church, particularly for pilgrims devoted to Saint Nicholas. "This flight represents a concrete response to a consolidated and growing demand, especially among the faithful from Serbia and Russia. Belgrade, along with Istanbul, is one of the few airports still connected to the Russian Federation. This makes the flight also strategic for religious tourism linked to the cult of the Saint of Myra”, Mr Vasile said.

      It says there is growing demand from Russia, which is accessible only via Belgrade or Istanbul. That indicates that there are transfers.

      It would be good to have them at least around holidays. Several companies prolonged SPU/DBV somewhat into winter season, even ultra cautious and slow OU makes SPU-IST year-round. There must be some pax for JU's ATR there too.

      No need. These are dead airports during the winter and JU knows that.

      Well, if I remember correctly, SPU has around 30x in slowest months, so there's definitely audience for 2-3 weekly flights with ATR.
      Unless JU has constraints in capacity in winter and can deploy them elsewhere more profitable, which I doubt is the case.

      Maybe next year. Now every new Italian winter destination will be competition to Bologna, Florence, Naples and Bari, no need for JU to compete with themselves until they establish position at these markets.

      Eventually Catania could be extended into winter. Palermo is highly seasonal route.

      Increasing frequencies (3x a week in summer) should be a priority.
      Now Air Serbia has the right aircraft to do it.

      This is interesting comment, Anon 14.21.
      Why do you think Palermo is seasonal while Catania is not. I've been in both cities and love them, so I am interest to hear some data about passenger flows.

    This is very good. Air Serbia needs to further expand and then consolidate its position in Italy. It's a massive market where a lot of destinations can be covered with the ATR. Let's hope next summer we get even more flights.

      I can see Genoa, Trieste or Turin potentially. Maybe Cagliay seasonal, if Sassari proves right
