| JAT and Air Yugoslavia ad for long-haul operations, 1984. Air Yugoslavia was JAT’s charter division. It utilised JAT aircraft and crew but had its own IATA code (JR). In 1984, Air Yugoslavia added Los Angeles as a charter destination, operating several flights to the city for the 1984 Summer Olympic Games. Three years later, JAT would launch scheduled services to the City of Angels, initially as a summer seasonal route but quickly extended to year-round operations |
Great stuff, thank you!
ReplyDeleteI have some vintage photos that I can email you. Can you provide an email address that I can contact you at?

DeleteJust found about this...ahhh those were the times. JAT was then greater than Emirates.
ReplyDeleteThanks for great content.
Nice collection, thanks !
ReplyDeleteOh my brilliant thanks for that
ReplyDeleteSuch a pleasant glance to the past...
ReplyDeleteThis all made me cry! I traveled a lot in my life, but I'll always remember flight from Sydney to Belgrade under the bomb scare threat in December of 1988. JAT was an incredible company back then. That is what memories are made of!

ReplyDeleteI like your vintage photos. Absolutly great. I flew in 1975 with an Aviogenex TU 134 from Dusseldorf to Dubrovnik on a Fam trip.
ReplyDeleteJU felt like the Emirates of airlines back in the 1980s, innovative, agile and profitable!
ReplyDelete2nd last photo at the bottom-the tedious work of issuing flight tickets before computerization. Because I used to work in travel agents(back in the 90s) So 1 of my senior managers used to talk about the tedious manual airline ticketing job which sometimes led to a crammed hand.
