The Serbian Civil Aviation Directorate has adopted amendments to its regulations governing foreign airlines, introducing changes that could have significant implications for carriers operating aircraft based in the country. The most notable amendment concerns the use of third and fourth freedom traffic rights. These are among the most basic rights in international aviation, allowing an airline to transport passengers from its home country to another state (third freedom) and from that foreign state back to its home country (fourth freedom). For example, a German airline can carry passengers from Germany to Serbia and back under these rights.
Under the revised rules, Serbia has explicitly stated that permits for scheduled international services will only be granted for flights that originate or terminate in the country that designated the airline, or anywhere within the European Union in the case of EU-based carriers. While the change may appear technical, it reinforces the principle that foreign airlines operating in Serbia are expected to use traffic rights primarily to connect Serbia with their home market. It places greater emphasis on traditional third and fourth freedom operations, under which aircraft begin and end their journeys within the territory of the airline's state of designation.
The amendment is notable because it comes at a time when the likes of Wizz Air have developed extensive operations from using aircraft and crews based locally. Such arrangements allow carriers to serve numerous destinations from Serbia without necessarily routing traffic through their home market. By explicitly linking operating permits to third and fourth freedom rights, the new regulation narrows the scope for interpretations that could support a broader range of operations from a Serbian base. The move strengthens the Serbian Civil Aviation Directorate’s ability to assess whether services proposed by foreign carriers are consistent with the traffic rights granted under existing bilateral agreements.
Although the amendments do not directly prohibit foreign airlines from basing aircraft in Serbia, they establish a clearer legal framework that favours traditional international services between Serbia and the carrier's country of designation, rather than extensive point-to-point operations conducted from within Serbia itself.
Changes have also been introduced for charter operations. Under the previous rules, certain administrative requirements applied to charter series consisting of two or more flights. The revised regulation now raises that threshold, with enhanced approval procedures only applying to charter series exceeding four flights. As a result, foreign airlines operating occasional or limited charter services to Serbia will face a simplified approval process and reduced administrative burden.

DeleteJust helping JU
DeleteAre you saying what I think you are saying? Surely not?
ReplyDeleteWizzair out?
Probably. We will know today.
DeleteNo
DeleteWon't happen as it would impact the government and the airport quite a bit. Air Serbia is already known as an SNS project. If they close the W6 base then both the government and JU will be negatively portrayed.
DeleteI think they will limit their future growth like this.
@9:07 Air Serbia brand was devised and proposed well before current government. JU as an airline is almost 100 hundred years old. Your statement is not based on facts.
DeleteNo. Jat Airways was terminated by SNS in 2013, so a year after they came to power.
DeleteIn its place Air Serbia was created. Also the most influential person in JU is Branislav Malovic who is straight from SNS. I am sorry but you should learn what the facts are here my friend.
Stop with the nonsense than JU is 100 years old. The predecessor to JAT coexisted with JAT at the same time.
DeleteJat Airways was not "terminated". Air Serbia is not a new company. It's the same Jat Airways with a changed name.
DeleteAir Serbia + JAT does not add up to 100 my friend.
DeleteMy beloved Anonymous friend, the Serbian Business Registry somewhat disagrees with you.
DeleteАгенција за привредне регистре says that Air Serbia was founded on 29.02.1992.
What JU has is the continuity and tradition of flying for one hundred years but not as a single brand. AeroPut was liquidated in 1947 and in its place a new communist airline was founded - JAT.
Then in 1992 JAT was also renamed and then finally rebranded in 2013.
I think KLM is the only one that has been flying under its own brand for a century, those crazy Dutch people did it.
"Then in 1992 JAT was also renamed"
DeleteCorrection
Not true. JAT was not renamed in 1992 at all. The reason it is listed in the registry from 1992 is because the registry did not exist beforehand. All companies in Serbia that existed before 1992 are listed in the registry as in existance from that year.
To be more precise the concept of limited liability company was introduced in 1992.
DeleteIn that case JU is not older than 1947 since AeroPut was terminated just because it was a successful and capitalist company. It didn't fit the Communist narrative.
DeleteYes, Wizz is pretty much out unless they can get Serbian AOC
DeleteWhich would hurt Serbia alot
DeleteHurts Serbia, revives JU
DeleteCAD won't do anything without the government's green light.
DeleteThat is why they replaced their director. Mrs Cizmarov was against this and she thought it wasn't a good idea. They brought her replacement and this passed. Now let's see if the government will follow through.
Anon 09.47
DeleteIt won't revive JU, it will enable them to double their prices and then to brag about securing a 4% growth in passenger numbers.
How come find business justification for getting AOC in Serbia???
Delete@9:37
Deletehttps://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/worlds-oldest-airlines
Those guys check and double check their sources and facts. Call them and convince them your "facts" are better. Come back to tell us if you changed their mind
Who cares about oldest, biggest, largest etc. always such a silly debate. Like 12year olds.
DeleteDude, take a chill pill. Read what I wrote. I said they have the privilege of being associated with the tradition of flying for a hundred years BUT that continuity was breached in 1947. Only KLM has been flying under the same brand since day 1.
DeleteSo JU has the moral and emotional link with AeroPut but that's about it.
JAT came from Aeroput's nationalised assets. Same company, different political model of running it. Next year, Air Serbia will celebrate its 100th birthday. The continuity is clear.
DeleteAirline currently branded Air Serbia will be 100 years old. Immature comments not able to respect that globally recognized fact are not deserving of further discussion. Accept the fact and move on
DeleteNo. The newly founded and undemocratically elected government in Yugoslavia liquidated AeroPut in 1947 ending its operations. In its place a new company was set up and that's how we got JAT Yugoslav Airlines. They always bragged how they were founded in 1947, not 1927 which is a shame.
DeleteI guess they needed a Yugoslav airline since AeroPut was a Serbian airline founded by private, not government, capital. Tadija Sondermajer did a great job lobbying for AeroPut's initial capital.
Nerd level max :) lets move on
DeleteSns project? Than bravo!!! Before that was DS and leftist project and due theft and incopetence Jat bankrupted almost. So difference is obvious. Imagine how bad they were before. Well we see how there more knowledge comparing to OU. Where matter of time is their destiny will be like Malev or Adria. HDZ project is in bad shape. So I understand jelaous comments here. Well AS is the best airline in former Yugoslavia. Second, it is good for the state. Serbia is not EU, and like Turkey who has worlld class airline, can make regulations on its own. IF someone eant to fly from Serbia, they meed to invest and register in Serbia own company. And pay taxes to Serbia instead to take profit and transfer to own countries. Bravo Sesrbia.
Delete@10:09 once again, convince CNN and other reputable sources to change their mind. Let us know if you do. Stop posting your theories until you do.
DeleteIf I am reading this right, this will only impact Wizz Air? They are the only ones that are a "foreign" airline that don't start most of their flights from outside of Serbia.
ReplyDeleteYes, the goal is to block Wizz Air in Belgrade.
DeleteDamn
DeleteYes, blocking Wizz air from flying to the likes of Israel or any route out side of EU which they don’t fly a single route
DeleteNo, this applies to their network from BEG as well.
DeleteI think this has JU written all over it, they struggle to fight them and to limit their growth. First flight to ALC was a rather fail.
BEG-ALC 95
ALC-BEG 55
Meanwhile Wizz Air runs full A321 flights.
It's a first flight. Its normal for first flight on a leisure route is that return flight is low LF.
DeleteWizz Air on their first flight to ALC they had 235 passengers. Just sayin'
DeleteAlso Wizz Air is the one fueling growth at BEG this year. No wonder JU is angry and worried.
Seems the ministry chose again to spare JU from competition and the traveling public from choice and better prices.
DeleteCan't say I'm surprised though, Balkans will always be Balkans.
This won't change anything. Wizz Air is tight with the Hungarian government so SNS will be getting a call from Budapest these days. The last thing Serbia needs is for Hungary to start blocking its EU funding over this.
DeleteWizz Air is a multinational to which Hungarians have minimal number of shares and the
DeleteHungarian government has no shares. The airline is listed in the London Stock Exchange.
As they say: И после Тита, Тито.
DeleteNothing will change and Magyar has not change the Hungarian policy towards key things like Ukraine, Russia, migrants etc.
Wizz Air might be listed on the London Stock Exchange but the Hungarian government is still supporting them big time.
Ok, that is in your head. Now can you tell us, in reality and in the real world, how is Hungary supporting Wizz Air?
DeleteLol just look at the aid and support they got during covid times. You know, you can always do some research yourself my friend. There is a reason why so many of their aircraft are registered in Hungary despite there being cheaper and better alternatives like Malta or Ireland.
DeleteSNS staff from Serbian CAD have to mess up everything...
ReplyDeleteSeems they are getting desperate with protecting JU, especially now that Jet-A prices have increased 105% over the last 12 months but its management chose not to hedge any of its fuel needs.
DeleteSNS wouldn't do this since a lot of their people are flying on JU.
DeleteThis had to come from the Air Serbia management.
Flying on W6, sorry, wrote by mistake.
DeleteSNS people are blind. They do what are they said to do. Just remember when SNS people published that Air Serbia is only in the world to fly over Iran. Brainwash!
DeleteJU is the favorite child of the president. So it is going to be protected as much as possible from competition (unless it is Turkish carriers) and those of us who travel will just have to pay more for the ...privilege.
DeleteWhat I don't get is why don't they force JU to be more competitive and to be better run? They did a good job rebranding themselves in 2013 but somehow they lost their way until covid.
DeleteSince covid they were doing ok but they are still far from being a modern business.
Wizz Air is beating them because they are consistent in their pricing and product. Their fleet is also modern and great. JU on the other hand has too many different brands and their product is not consistent. JUst look how long it took them to launch their loyalty program.
@9:14 JU was also a "favorite child" of president Tito. Growing government national airline is pride of any president or PM. Even in Croatia, as evidenced by their statements.
Delete@9:17 Air Serbia has only one brand. Please keep discussion fact-based.
Delete@09:17
DeleteManagers of state owned companies hate to do that my friend. Not only in our region but everywhere in the world.
Different brands flying for them, stop trying to be smart and keep up with the discussion. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
DeleteACMI is well known and recognized in the industry. Nothing wrong with that. For example, OU does it with ETFs ATR as well.

DeleteThe crux of the matter is that JU can not compete with W6 and is trying to limit its access to our market.
ReplyDeleteAt the end the consumer will lose.
Fully agree.
DeleteBut this is not true, Air Serbia has shown itself completely capable
DeleteHow when Wizz Air is the one leading the growth at BEG this year. JU on the other hand is projecting growth of 3% which isn't much, they are not Lufthansa or Emirates so 3% is modest. Wizz Air is rapidly growing in BEG.
DeleteBtw NCE by JU is not performing that well. Wizz Air might be victorious over there.
If they were so capable they wouldn't try to limit competition.
DeleteEconomy drives all companies in all areas of business to limit and fight competition.
Delete@Anon 09:22
DeleteActually the reverse is the reason aviation has expanded so much over the last 20-30 years.
NCE is not an easy route for Air Serbia. But they need to fight. Sometimes they win, sometimes they lose. Normal think in war between two airlines.
DeleteWhat do they send to NCE? A319 or E90/95?
DeleteJU can and has successfully competed with Wizz. LIS and CPH being the latest examples. JU and Wizz for years have been competing on quite a few routes directly (LCA, BCN, GOT, HAM, MLA, FCO) and indirectly (CDG/BVA, LHR/LTN, ZRH/BSL, ARN/NYO).
DeleteCompetition with Wizz has been good for JU as it has pushed them to fast track route launches, increase frequencies and reduce seasonality with LIS being a good example.
Serbia is wizzier than Wizz
ReplyDeleteAs Marek put it: Air Serbia will be Wizzier than Wizz.
DeleteSeems like they failed in the end. Ouch.
They didn't fail since they are profitable for years. Air Serbia knows how to fight Wizz Air. This has to do with politics.
Delete@9:10 Air Serbia beat Wizz on many routes. They are competing well on some others. They are growing i terms of passengers and destinations. Your conclusion is not based on facts.
DeleteIf it was really that successful against Wizz they wouldn't be so scared of them.
DeleteThey are not "scared" as Air Serbia launched routes competing direclty against Wizz. Check your facts.
DeleteHow is JU beating W6 when they are rapidly growing this year in BEG?
Delete^ Don't ruin it for him with facts.
DeleteJU is so successful against Wizz that they are trying to kick the airline, its aircraft and its crews out of the country! 😂
DeleteAnon 09.30
DeleteI think you misunderstood my comment. I meant W6 is rapidly growing, not JU.
JU will be around 3%, I think the same like in 2025.
Internet search will reveal facts behind Wizz growth as a result of failed Abu Dhabi adventure, misguided 321XLR plans and delusional aircraft order numbers. For comparison, OU is rapidly growing as well 😀
DeleteI woudnt compare those two
DeleteWizz Air is growing in Europe as well. They just based their 15th plane in Luton, they opened a new Italian base and are adding flights left and right. They are also reporting great financial results and despite everything they won't have a loss this year.
DeleteThat's Wizz UK. If Wizz got AOC there, it should get AOC in Serbia.
DeleteI think they had Wizz Ukraine before the war.
DeleteCroatia and Bosnia should do the same and ban Ryanair!
ReplyDeleteCroatia can't since they are in the EU.
DeleteCroatia would be mad to ban Ryanair when it is all Croatian airports that want FR
DeleteWhy would any country try to limit air travel and incoming tourism? Are you OK?
DeleteAnon 09.18 well ask Serbia, they are doing it right now.
DeleteDo any of the experts on here understand how aviation works?
Delete@Anon 09:21 apparently some people here consider North Korean style of isolationism the way forward. To the 1960s! 😄
DeleteI know, it's just awful to read.
Deletebut how they can limit W6 when it says "or anywhere within the European Union in the case of EU-based carriers"
ReplyDeleteThey can impose that no airline can fly BEG-ABC-BEG and must fly ABC-BEG-ABC. In that case Wizz Air cannot do such think since they do not have bases in Western Europe.
DeleteYou might want to check that last sentence of Wizz Air not having bases in Western Europe.
Deletei see. well that would be a mad move
DeleteWizz Air has some bases in Western europe. London and Italy.
DeleteRight question is: why Wizz didn't register and get Serbian AOC like they did for example in the UK?
Delete@9.16 Italy, BTS and UK. thats not much
Delete@9.18 profit in the Balkans is probably not that high as in London to give half of it away
DeleteAt the moment not at all. But this blocks them from launching routes outside EU, like to UK or Montenegro. Maybe there are other reasons why they already weren't able to, not sure.
Delete@09:16
DeleteOkay, they do have some bases in Western Europe. But not in Madrid, Barcelona, Paris, Eindhoven, Dortmund, Memmingen, Berlin, Karlsruhe, Malmo, Stockholm, Gothenburg, Alghero, Grenoble, Nice, Alicante, etc...
They only have bases in Italy, UK, Slovakia.
I can see W6 filing a complain with the EU Commission. Seems the Open Skies agreement between Serbia and E.U. is in breech.
Delete@9.23 come on. Even without this rule Wizz cannot launch routes outside EU. UK is the exception because there is WizzUK
DeleteW6 will not let this one go. So far they always responded to JU provocations so it makes sense to do it for this one again.
DeleteJU is obviously nervozan so they are running to the government. I don't think the government has the balls to limit Wizz Air which is beloved by millions in Serbia.
The governement is so horribly u popular among so many people that encourong travel and movement is a good 'pressure valve'. If economically 'middle class' in Belgrade find they cant travel in the way they've become acustomed they will be less willing to tolerate the other aspects of SNS rule.
DeleteBrilliant comment Anon 10.00, thank you.
DeleteYou explained why nothing will change.
If paying taxes is what Wizz needs to stay afloat, they could try to register in some country with no corporate tax and fly where where they can. You can get both rights and no taxes
DeleteThey are not allowed to limit anyhow W6 in BEG as Serbia signed Open Sky Agreement
ReplyDeleteOpen Skies doesn't apply to base openings, just the launch of flights.
DeleteThe proposed change is unlawful, and breaches Serbia's obligations under the ECAA agreement.
ReplyDeleteSome comments show disregard for facts
DeleteI agree, starting with your own Anon 09.46
DeleteProve that 9:20 comment is a fact
DeleteWhy I am not surprised
ReplyDeletePlot twist: Wizz Air applies for the Serbian AOC and launches flights to TIV, TGD, SVO, LED, TLV, SAW, AYT...
ReplyDeleteThen JU could sit and cry to the government.
omg 🍿🍿🍿
DeleteYou really think Serbian CAD would give them AOC? Hahaha!
DeleteOf course they would because it's an EU airline.
DeleteGiving Serbian AOC has nothing to do with EU or non-EU airline. For such think Wizz Air would need to register dedicated airline in Serbia.
DeleteMaybe that is the actual idea? That they start paying taxes in the country where they operate and follow local employment codes. Or this is just some pressure to be put on the new Hungarian govt.
Delete"Or this is just some pressure to be put on the new Hungarian govt" lol
DeleteIf they are allowed to launch TIV, how many flights in summer do you think they could have with A321? Is there room for more than 14x?
DeleteThey wont launch it
DeleteCan you please read the comment again Anon 09.58
DeleteI read it. But they wont get a Serbian AOC and the SNS will back down on this stupidity and Wizzair will not launch Tivat. Next
DeleteYou still fail to understand the comment. He asked what is the potential market capacity for Wizz Air on BEG-TIV. You misunderstood the comment so you took the discussion in a different direction. Please either answer his hypothetical question or move on. Next.
DeleteI got his point thanks. Next
DeleteSooner or later Wizz will step into the Serbia-Montenegro market. Either through Montenegro's EU accession or if this new law sticks, through a Serbian AOC. Air Montenegro has more to lose than JU. I definitely see room for at least a daily Wizz rotation on the route.
DeleteThis is perfectly normal.
ReplyDeleteFurthermore, in the current global context - it could have been done already.
LOL, what are you talking about?
DeleteSo instead of attracting more LCCs to open a base in BEG the ministry is trying to kick out Wizz!
ReplyDeleteSome people just can't leave behind their 1980s mindset.
Why only in Serbia someone is trying to play smart and destroy air traffic?
ReplyDeleteBecause some people just want to relive the 70's.
DeleteYugoslavia was quite open then. More like the 90s where the SNS seem to live rent free
DeleteVucic's message to new Government in Hungary?
ReplyDeletei really hope not 🤡
DeleteNo, this process was launched months ago. It was initiated by JU top management, that is two key people... you can guess who.
DeleteJU had nothing to do with this. Stop spreading lies.
DeleteMy friend, JU had everything to do with this. Wizz Air has been flying to Serbia for 2 decades and they had a base for years and years. No one thought of fighting it and then all of a sudden JU gets a new CEO and a few years later this story shows up.
DeleteThis has to do with two key people in JU lobbying for this change. Not SNS or the CAD, it is JU.
Stop spreading lies trying to defend JU. No one besides JU has to gain from this, not the government, not the airport, not the consumers... just JU.
@Anon 09:46
DeleteJU has EVERYTHING to do with this.
Vucic (or someone from government) was mentioning LCC base at INI last year, so I don't think this was thought-out...
DeleteWhich proves that this stupid idea did not come from SNS.
DeleteVuicic has announced the imminent launch of flights to CAI and Tokyo years ago.
DeleteI wouldn't believe anything coming out of his mouth.
Acording to the SNS rag press we should have been able to get to the coast of Montenegro in 4 hours already. And fly into Trebinje airport. And get off the train in Novi Sad. Infrastructure and planning and the SNS is not a rozy picture.
Delete@10:16
DeleteSo true and so sad at the same time.

Deletedid this come out of the blue?
ReplyDeleteok i see now the comment above, its not that out of the blue then
DeleteNo, it has been around for nearly a year. Top SNS people want this.
DeleteNo, top SNS people at JU want this, not the SNS since most of their voters and party members regularly fly on Wizz Air, just like most Serbs do.
DeleteBS. JU beat W6 on almost all routes, having steady growth and revenue every year. W6 is just a stone in the shoe for JU
Delete@11:43
DeleteDude just stop it. No matter how many times you repeat a lie it doesn't become truth.
Today's decision is another proof of that.
Sounds like typical SNS awfulness. Downtown Belgrade is already looking like a security zone, now they'll start making issues with aviation. I think they forget that the EU will increasingly be watching Serbia's actions which are so clearly incompatable with joining the block on so many levels.
ReplyDeleteWho will watch from the EU? Ursula? They are too busy with their own problems to care about Serbia. The EU ignored students because they are good friends with SNS, they are also part of EPP
DeleteIt becomes different when the choice is SNS or European company with its own lobbying. We'll see.
DeleteStay strong Wizz Air, we love you and hope you get through this. Now it's time to add a 5th plane to your booming BEG base.
ReplyDeleteMost people would rather see 40th aircraft in Air Serbia fleet.
DeleteYes, of course. Normal people will always prefer strong domestic airline than foreign ULCC that every now and then leave you stranded on random European airport
Delete^ Dude just stop it.
DeleteWhat normal people prefer has been shown again and again. By the people and their choice of travel.
On the other hand abnormal people prefer a return to the aviation market of the '70s when only party apparatchiks could afford to fly.
The world fortunately has moved on.
This is isolationism, should be stressed immediately on a higher level.

DeleteThe government is trying to bring back the 1990s.
The writing's on the wall.
Delete@10:01 they never left it
DeleteIf they proceed with this then it's time to start boycotting JU. They should give people a reason to fly with them, not to force them to do so by using the government to chase away their competition which is beloved by travellers.
DeleteThe EU could respond by banning overflight rights to aircraft bound for Russia. Belgrades entire aviation landscape depends on the EU so i think this will all quieten down rapidly.
DeleteYou are right.
DeleteBut unfortunately they do not think that far.
The EU will not ban JU from overflying the EU to Russia as that would force them to enforce that to all airlines. I don't see Turkey, China, Egypt, Qatar, UAE etc taking that lightly. It's not as if certain EU members haven't already tried.
DeleteNone of the airlines mentioned overflies EU airspace to or from Russia. JU does though.
DeleteI think you can understand the difference.
TK does.
DeleteThat is very bad news for incoming tourism...

DeleteThis article is bound to be the most commented ever if Wizz and JU decide to respond today. What's the record number of comments on ExYu admin?
ReplyDeletesame thought :) i rarely comment on serbian topics here (only read the articles) but this is Hollywood
DeleteHalf of them is by hysterical expert that finally got some fuel on JU/BEG topic. Regardless still writing traditional nonsenseness
DeleteThis is what we read here:
ReplyDelete"While the change may appear technical, it reinforces the principle that foreign airlines operating in Serbia are expected to use traffic rights primarily to connect Serbia with their home market."
So, Wizz is EU company and it will continue to connect any EU country (home market) with Serbia.
Even before these changes took place it was not allowed to W6 to fly to for example Georgia, Isreal, Turkey, N.Macedonia, Montenegro, BiH.
Why pretend not to understand what we are talking here?
DeleteThey want to close W6 base in BEG.
I believe what is written here and not what you want to think.
Delete"The amendment is notable because it comes at a time when the likes of Wizz Air have developed extensive operations from using aircraft and crews based locally. Such arrangements allow carriers to serve numerous destinations from Serbia without necessarily routing traffic through their home market."
It seems to me that they just want to stop W6 to possibly open any destination from BEG to any non EU country in the future. No flights to EU market are affected here.
^ You have misunderstood.
DeleteThy want to stop flying by Wizz with local aircraft and crews and instead have them serve the country with only EU based aircraft. If they do not have a base in say, PMI they just wont so that JU will have a monopoly.
Yes, I see now your point.
DeleteThank you for clarification.
Can't believe how many people are cheering for less jobs in Serbia and higher ticket prices. Unless they are party bots there is something seriously wrong with mental health in this country...
ReplyDeleteI think they are party bots.
DeleteNot many people here are cheering for that i feel. Most normal people who like aviation want a fair and very open market which in Serbias case needs a strong level of foreign airlines flying to it and being as open as possible. Party bots are remarkably few here i feel. Although local patriots abound as elsehwere in the region.
DeleteAir Serbia employs more people in Serbia than any other airline. Fact
DeleteAir Serbia employs more, but not more than Air Serbia + Wizz.
DeleteAnd each job is important.
Just stupid reading. Wizz do not fly outside EU from BEG. As well as mental assessment from stupid people.
ReplyDelete^
DeleteA comment that shows clear mental inability to understand what is at stake.
EU won't ever allow this and JU could face significal consequencies in Europe if W6 is forced to close their base in Serbia.
ReplyDeleteDon't start the war for God's sake especially if you are weaker!
The government is desperate and is trying to redirect public attention from the way it has been handling the country.
DeleteI just wonder who was the brain behind this operation.
DeleteWow assumption that no one read and understood and asked for legal review before proposing changes is astounding!
DeleteThe EU would never allow JU to open bases across the EU the same way Wizz has done in Serbia.
DeleteJU has no right to fly between 2 EU countries and W6 does have a right to fly between Serbia and EU.
Delete"Small" difference which this bot forgot.
Serbia not being a part of the common aviation area in Europe is entirely our choice.
DeleteBut party bot is just trying to deflect the discussion.
Wow at the amount of comments haha.
ReplyDeleteIf that is not a clear admission by JU management that they can't compete with Wizz even in their own
ReplyDeletehub then I don't know what it is...
+100
DeleteI am not sure I understood the text well, but seems like they are trying to protect JU. On the other hand, WIZZ is free to fly to any EU member state destination. The only problem is if foreign airline wants to fly from Serbia to non EU member states. So, we will not see any Wizz non EU flights (like UAE, Morocco, Israel, etc.)
ReplyDeleteAdmin, please help us understand what is happening :) Do not let us be mad and confused.
This regulation don't allow foreign carrier to start operation from BEG, it is not allowed foreign airlines to operated route for example BEG-DTM-BEG, but it is allowed to fly DTM-BEG-DTM
Delete
