Is it mostly business or tourism?
ReplyDeleteMostly brotherhood
DeleteAir Serbia tries to get Air Montenegro out of business....
ReplyDeleteIt's not an ally and now they try to get their share to be able to make all cash possible on the routes.
Bravo Air Serbia 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸
DeleteThere is no such thing as “brotherhood” in this business. JU and 4O are rivals here and JU has bigger advantage.
DeleteAll credit to JU. It's incredible how they are willing to fight the competition.
ReplyDeleteWith flights to close DBV, this is 24 weekly to Tivat/Dubrovnik area. Huge!
ReplyDeleteNice one
ReplyDelete66 weekly flights between Serbia and Montenegro is a huge amount for two relatively small markets.
ReplyDeleteThree daily flights to Tivat in the middle of winter is quite impressive.
ReplyDeleteHopefully all this additional capacity will result in more competitive fares as well.
ReplyDeleteTivat three times daily in January and February would have sounded unrealistic only a few years ago.
