I went to Nice recently with Wizz and back with Air Serbia. Wizz plane was almost new Aribus, clean and tidy, crew was nice, smiling all the time. Food that I bought was very nice. With Air Serbia, very old Airbus, state of Recaro seat covers is really sad, carpets are dirty, crew was ok but not very happy and smiling just occasionally. I didn’t bought any food as I had dinner at the airport before the flight. The price was more or less the same for bith airlines. It’s good that we will have more choices for Madrid, it will also help reducing the price as well.

DeleteAir Serbia really needs urgently to do something with their cabins.
DeleteCarpets are worn out, seats show that they have seen good load factors and almost every airplane is unique there isn't a hard product signature.
"Air Serbia really needs urgently to do something"
DeleteIt's about time to order some new birds
Any bird needs to be maintained....
DeleteNew one's would be great, but deliveries are within years so something needs to be undertaken until their arrival.
@14:35
DeleteIt is not ordering new birds, it is leasing aircraft that are about 10 years old or older.
They all need to be standardized in a coherent cabin design that is then regularly maintained.
maybe the carpets should be replaced more often than each C-check
Delete"It’s good that we will have more choices for Madrid"
DeleteIt's so obvious when you NEVER say that for routes out of Belgrade where Wizz has no direct competition. Explains the whole "Wizz good, Air Serbia bad" message you are trying to push. Another fail.
last night came from Nice on Wizz flight. Brand new, good experience. Flew AirSerbia to London last week. cabin is showing visible signs of age.
DeleteAsk Wizz to start Heathrow, see what their response will be.
DeleteAir Serbia will put Air Baltic’s plane and crew on Heathrow route - that will allow much better service to London, although not every day. Generally, with Air Serbia is a real roulette with whom you will have a flight and which plane/setup/state you will get.
DeleteAt LHR the airline pays very big fees if they land with classic A320, so the A220 is a very good decision if you haven't got a NEO in your fleet

DeleteYour comment makes no sense. That's like asking JU to start Luton.
However Wizz Air is a lowcost so it would make sense for their planes to be in a worse condition. JU is a legacy and people have higher expectations when flying with them.
It's true that JU A319 cabins are not in the best shape. I remember some years ago JU announced new cabins for their planes but in the end nothing came out of it. It was even reported on here.
At least JU repainted the three A319s they bought.
07.56 please refrain from writing absolute nonsense.

DeleteNaravno, samo to ne prija ušima Air Serbia fanboysa.

DeleteDude are you OK? You do realize that the vast majority of us here are not employees of JU, right? We are people who travel and PAY for our tickets.
So competition and more choices are good for us.
Just my2cents
@Anonymous 08:06: It’s better to stay quiet if you’re not informed. I work in the aviation industry, so I know the subject.
DeleteAir Serbia route getting competition esp from Wizz is being applauded allegedly to benefit passenger choice. There is no asking or cheering for Wizz route out of Belgrade to get competition. That clearly shows motives of those who post those comments. More choices for passengers is just a thin veil to cover criticism of Air Serbia, but never to criticize Wizz. But there is a plot twist ahead: Wizz financial situation is turning from bad to worse and they might not be around in a couple of years, so your efforts to undermine Air Serbia and prop Wizzair are likely to be futile.
DeleteTell us please, which route would you like to see Wizz Air get competition from Air Serbia? Also please be realistic as you can't expect JU to launch FMM, EIN etc.
DeleteHowever, destinations such as MAD or LIS already have a high number of LCCs so it makes sense for JU to be challenged there. After all, competition lowers the average fare and we all profit from that.
I remember how 'wonderful' it was to fly on BEG-LCA before Wizz Air introduced their own flights. They forced JU to become more competitive.
Nemnjee you already know Air Serbia competes directly against Wizz on some routes. Besides, where did I specify only Air Serbia as a potential competitor? Again, issue is with cheering for Air Serbia to get competition, NEVER for Wizz to get competition. Repeating for the 3rd time shows some people can't handle this fact.
DeleteAs for your Larnaca route, JU BEG-LCA was indeed wonderful compared to times when there was no direct service between the two. Remember that?
^ Dude you need help!
DeleteSounds like you are out of arguments so you are attempting insults. Wizz never getting criticized for operating a route without competition remains a fact.
DeleteGood result
ReplyDeleteGreat news for JU! Hope they will manage to add some frequencies to MAD and LIS. I know its difficult to get slots for LIS, but I hope it wont be a problem for MAD. Good luck JU!
ReplyDeleteIt would be amazing that Iberia starts to fly on this route wgat would open connectivity to the central, south and north America
DeleteIt's more likely to increase OPO than LIS. And very strange they turned it seasonal, after W6 discontinued LIS
DeleteIdemo dalje...
ReplyDeleteLet's see how long Wizz Air lasts in Madrid. I personally think there is enough room for both players but you never know.
ReplyDeleteHopefully JU adds flights next summer, the market is there.
IB launching BEG, even seasonal in the beginning would be fantastic news for our connectivity to the Americas.
DeleteIt is beyond comprehension how they can fly seasonally to places like LJU or TIA but not BEG.
''Beyond comprehension'' lol sure
DeleteIt looks strange to me too. BEG is by far the busiest airport in the region and one would think IB would launch flights to it before the others.
DeleteUnless of course they offered them substantial subventions to fly there first.
JU was affraid of putting more frequency to MAD for many years, since they introduced this flight..Even up to last winter, they had only 2 flights weekly during some weeks in January and February, although they mostly had 3....Which was still far from enough , since I travel from MAD frequently, I very much know how planes are always packed..Besides that, they made wrong scheduling for this winter, they had it wrong for last one as well, but this summer schedule they finally added flight on Friday, which was great, and always top full..Now they cut Friday again, and added Thursday..They have to realize that there are many business travelers especially from Madrid, since that route is not that touristy, and that flight on Friday was extremly necessary, because now we only have 1 flight on Friday from Spain, evening from Barcelona, and that's it..On Thursday, we have Malaga, Barcelona, Valencia and Madridfrom AS..When you add Wizz, who also flys on Thursday from MAD and Alicante, that's a lot of flights, and on Friday only 1 city- Barcelona with 1 Wizz in the evening, and 1 AS in the evening...But only 1 city out of entire Spain...Very very bad schedule and planning towards business travelers..

DeleteMislim da je A321 prevelik za ,P2P putnike na ovoj ruti pogotovu tokom zime i da će WIZ polomiti zube.
ReplyDeletea odakle vam ideja da ce svi biti P2P? Jeste da ce Air Serbia pokupiti najveci deo transfera za Juznu Ameriku, jer ima code share sa Air Europa, ali Madrid je hub za sve ostale gradove u Spaniji, a putnici ne putuju samo u Madrid..A i ona dva leta nedeljno za Malagu, Valensiju su malo, bice mnogo transfer putnika za druge low costove ili voz , za dalje po Spaniji
DeleteJako mali broj putnika presedan na dve različite kompanije a da nije u pitanju kod Šer. Još kad to činite sa Lou kost prevoznicima, može biti ludo i nezaboravno.
Deleteuopste se ne bih slozio sa vama...A pogotovu za kratke interne linije koje voze low costovi koji kostaju 20-30 -ak evra, pa i ako se kojim slucajem desi da izgubite let nista strasno..za interne linije, pogotovu iz hubova kao sto je Madrid, imate 100 letova dnevno za bilo koju destinaciju po Spaniji...Ljudi idu na Tenerife low costom, ljudi idu u Sevilju low costom, Bilbao, Kompostelu ( Vigo) i sve ove druge destinacije po Spaniji ( Valensija, Malaga itd. ) gde Air Serbia leti samo par puta nedeljno i gde ta frekvencija ne moze da pokrije potrebe dosta putnika..
