The widebody operations included Ethiopian Airlines’ Boeing 767-300F from Belgrade to Kinshasa, Air Serbia’s Airbus A330-200 from Guangzhou to Belgrade, which then operated a rotation to Shanghai, CAMEX Airlines’ Boeing 767-300F from Almaty to Belgrade and onward to Hong Kong, Georgian Airlines’ Boeing 767-300F operating between Tbilisi and Belgrade, Hainan Airlines’ Boeing 787-9 on its Beijing - Belgrade service; an Air Serbia A330-200 arriving from New York and subsequently departing for Toronto, another Air Serbia A330-200 arriving from New York due to an earlier diversion, My Freighter’s Boeing 767-300F operating from Tashkent via Belgrade to Ostrava and another Air Serbia A330-200 departing for New York. The aircraft that operated the additional New York arrival subsequently departed for Chicago in the early hours of Sunday, September 20, following a lengthy delay.
The notable number of freighter operations comes amid strong cargo growth at Belgrade Airport. During the January - July period, the airport handled 11,192.02 tonnes of freight, representing an increase of 36.4% on the same period last year.

Bravo BEG 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸
ReplyDeleteGood for local jobs. Bad for people in Congo who will take those bullets.
ReplyDeleteHuuuuih!!! Brutal truth!
DeleteWhat about other 14 flights? Are they also bad?
DeleteIf you think you know what's in each cargo load, tell us more about cargo at RZE? Is it just flowers and white doves?
Serbia is producing bullets, not firing them. As almost every other western country in the world. But no "bads" for the others.
DeleteAnon 15:11 - Don't know about the other ones, that's why I didn't comment. If it's plums and ajvar I'm all for it, let there be hundreds, not just 14. As for RZE, not sure why you bring this up, but yes, this is also horribly sad.
DeleteAnon 17:03 - I don't know, in my opinion, selling bullets is bad, whoever does it.
"Bads" were introduced into this record-breaking newsbite comment section by someone @14:13 who obviously can't stand any positive news about Belgrade Airport/Air Serbia.
DeleteFor anyone following this professional, respectable, politics-averse blog for a while, this pattern of anti-JU/BEG commenting is really obnoxious. Belgrade Airport sets another milestone and appreciative/congratulatory type of response is the only one reasonable.
Hey Ex-YU, could you do more articles on cargo traffic, not only in BEG but around ex-YU airports? Id love to learn more about cargo developments
