JU has too many staff for the size that they are, expensive leases on aircraft that don't suit their operations. BEG is their biggest problem and which deters pax the most. Theft from luggage, delayed and damaged baggage, facilities at BEG, while friendliness of border police is when they throw your passport at you (that is, IF they decide to open a booth to serve you in the first place). Not to mention that their operations are drastically altered in the winter, while the on board product I don't believe has ever remained consistent over a full one year period.<br /><br />JFK ops is far from their main problem and I doubt, for now, they would end the flights.

This goes further onto media publishing stories about JU operating illegally in Croatia and stating that pax are not allowed to transit BEG on JU flights. One can only imagine what would be if JU operated flights out of Croatia.<br /><br />JU could definitely do some other things with the A330, however from BEG.JATBEGMELnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-3313947976282038222017-08-31T00:42:09.389+02:002017-08-31T00:42:09.389+02:00Ive always said before that OU was always the best...Ive always said before that OU was always the best candidate for widebodies, with the A330 being a nice addition to their fleet.
