NEWS FLASH
Construction of Air Serbia’s new headquarters near Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport has officially begun today following the completion of preparatory works on the site. The project is scheduled for completion by May 15, 2027. The headquarters forms part of the first phase of a broader development, which in subsequent stages will also include a hotel and an additional commercial building.
Phase 1 involves the construction of the Air Serbia administrative building, consisting of a ground floor, four upper floors and a recessed top floor, with a total gross floor area of 7.985 square metres. Its height mirrors that of the Aviation Museum, located on the plot next to it. The initial phase also includes the development of part of the internal access road linking the complex to Nova 5 Street, which will serve all future phases of the site. In addition, landscaped and green areas will be arranged, along with an open-air parking facility in the north-western section of the plot providing 140 parking spaces, six of which are reserved for persons with disabilities. A new ring road and street is also planned on the other side of the complex.

Hopefully they will fix the problem with road crossing before the building site. So many car crashes due to poorly designed intersection

DeleteThey are building a ringroad.
DeleteBravo JU!
ReplyDeleteMuch more important investment than fixing YU-ARC cabin or standardizing the cabins of the long haul fleet!
But you stopped flying Air Serbia, so you don't know and don't care if they did.
Delete^ What are you talking about?
DeleteHow would you know which commenters fly with JU and which don't? 😄
This is great news and necessary expansion you can only cope with it and chill and hold your wig on.
DeleteA new HQ building trully is great news and much more necessary than fixing broken seats, window shades and IFE on the A330s!
DeleteBravo Jiri!
Only people who have never flown on their A330 can defend their onboard product.
DeleteBravo Jiri!

DeleteYU-ARC is a terrible product. I stopped flying AS from China because of it. Business class is bad and expensive. China Southern is my choice now.
DeleteNice design.
ReplyDeleteHey everyone, what happened to the all of the aircrafts in Museum. I was there 5-6 months ago, and they were all there. Anyone have informations, as I can see that the places where J22 and MIG21s were is cleared now. Is that part of preparation for construction?
ReplyDeleteIt's preparations for the start of the museum reconstructin.
DeleteBut do we know where are now all of these aircrafts?
DeleteThey did a tender for the storage of these aircraft a few months ago
Deletethanks
DeleteI don't think JU constructing a new sparkling HQ or getting into the hotel business is the highest priority facing the airlines right now...

DeleteAll while outsourcing fleet, crew, maintanance, catering... Crazy priorities.
DeleteAnd renting super expensive office space in Belville. Of course it’s a good investment, long overdue
DeletezamaSchool says YU-ARC cabin is the highest priority in the world, then all those things you mentioned, but priority for them is never profitability, expanding destinations, fleet, setting new passenger records etc.
DeleteFixing the cabin of Pupin so that is not an embarassement for tha airline. ❌
DeleteBuilding a new HQ. ✅
The building where JU is located in almost 20 years old. It was built for Universiade in 2009. It's hardly a hot property on the market so it's not expensive.
DeleteJU also returned one of the floors since they don't need it.
@18:35 That was fixed, so the only embarrassment is grown-up man pretending to be an aviation analyst while having no knowledge of how airline operates and what KPIs are important. We know it's you, you also know that we know it's you, so stop pretending to be a "regular" passenger making comments. Pathetic.
DeleteJU becoming a serious regional airline in all the aspects.
ReplyDeleteWell there aren't any other in the region anyway haha
DeleteI wish they started with hotel, whcih could help their connecting passengers. They could have provide rooms to those how have long or night layovers as some big players. ps I know I dream but for maybe things concerning AirSerbia we wihsed, dreamed about and some of them became reality sooner or later as is case all year around split route, or 4 soon 5 long-haul routes etc
ReplyDeleteHotel construction will also start very soon, they just need the permit. The works will probably start within the next month.
DeleteIt's a good that they are building this new HQ and that they will regroup many departments.
ReplyDeleteOnly not sure that they staff from New Belgrade current office will be delighted by the new location.
They will finally have parking places, which they desired so much
DeleteSmart idea to build the hotel. Good investment in good location. JU is diversifying with a hotel, frequent flyer program and on-board purchases. This will generate additional revenue to the existing network and open the door for future opportunities (i.e. purchasing/leasing it's own fleet, a hotel in the city etc...)
ReplyDeleteRunning hotels sounds very old fashioned tbh. It should have been done with a major brand
DeleteJAT Slavija Hotel.
DeleteThey should stick with their core competency - running the airline which is their purpose. Plenty of private companies exist which specialize in running hotels and building commercial real estate.
DeleteDo you really think that Air Serbia is designing & building this from in house? Or do you think that they hired professionals for this?
DeleteWhat business does JU have to build and run a hotel?
Delete^ stop crying.
DeleteDiversification is in fact a sound business model - especially for an airline with an airport-based hotel. Now JU can accommodate passengers for their compensation flights (i.e. cancelled) at a much lower cost. JU agents will be trained to refer clients that have overnight bookings/transfers/delays to the hotel. Down the road it can expand to "JAT vacations" and can coordinate charters to hotels that it owns in Sun destinations. Westjet has a similar structure.
DeleteBut that's not the stated purpose of existence of Air Serbia which was started and is being propped up (for years explicitly, now implicitly) by the taxpayer. It's not the government's job to run 'diversified businesses'
DeleteIdemo dalje...
ReplyDeleteSuch a waste of money. They should not be in the business of building office buildings and should just lease offices like most modern profitable companies
ReplyDeleteMost modern profitable companies own their own buildings.
DeleteNope. Companies like to be as asset light as possible and focus on their core business
DeleteYou may think what you like expert, but your original comment is very false.
Delete12:49 is correct.
DeleteWell no. He isn't.
DeleteSlowest part of the year for aviation, no new routes for neighborhood airport so let's attack Air Serbia for reasonable decision to move HQ to the airport? This HQ will be short walking distance from the city rail station, it will replace obsolete operations offices at the airport, it will replace expensive lease of current HQ and add value in the long run.
DeleteSo people waiting until slow season to attack JU? I thought this to happen all of the year.
