Air Serbia will increase capacity on its Belgrade - Split service this winter. In addition to the previously announced increase from two to three weekly flights, the airline will deploy the 108-seat Embraer E190 aircraft on the route each Friday from February 5. The remaining two weekly services will continue to be operated by the 72-seat ATR72-600 turboprop. The E190 is also scheduled on select dates in November and December, including yesterday, November 2, and December 21. Further equipment changes remain possible.
Cool. Did not expect that. A question for the internet community - Who uses these connections? There are not many Serbs around Split and Croats in Belgrade and around the Belgrade, right? Are these people business guests?
ReplyDeleteProbably a lot of transfers through Belgrade.
DeleteAnd alot of people have family in both countries.
DeleteThere are lots of folks of Dalmatian origin in Belgrade, actually.
DeleteWhen I flew to Split off season, there was a big group of Danish guys who went to Split to a bachelor party via Belgrade. How random, but I guess SAS does not fly to Split in winter, or JU was just more convenient for them
DeleteJU is cheap and so even when direct flights are available people will fly via Belgrade. SAS to split is hundreds of euros each way.
Delete@16:17 I think what you mean to say is that people will fly with JU if the price is right. However during the winter almost no airlines fly to Split so JU really have a nice advantage. I wish they offered nice connections to London, which is only linked to Split once weekly with OU during the winter and at a horrid price.
Delete@14:02 - It must be the transfers as the main reason.
DeleteRegarding the families: Don't know unfortunately anybody from Dalmatia who moved during or after war to Belgrade, just to Western Europe, Canada and Australia, and of course to B&H (RS). But it seems, you know these guys, so this should be reason number two for the flights.
Cheer ppl!
@16:55. You must be kidding right...If you don't know, i suggest you learn :)
DeleteIt is fascinating how history still has such a strong impact on ex-Yugoslav intra-routes. Routes that were once commonplace and are now gradually making a comeback.
ReplyDeleteYeah because BEG is a regional hub. Or are they flying to places like CLJ and RMO due to history's strong impact as well?
DeleteNo need to be mean or bitchy. The comment at 14:41 was totally correct.
Delete@JSG. Yes, its very good that air communications in the EXYU space have managed to develop.
No one said it's a bad thing.
DeleteThe comment at 15:05 sure comes across as sarcastic.
DeleteBravo Air Serbia 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸
ReplyDeleteIt's 3pw on a turboprop, it's not that big of a deal.
