ASL Airlines France to launch Belgrade flights
France's ASL Airlines will introduce flights between Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport and Belgrade next summer season, becoming the third carrier to maintain services between the two cities. ASL Airlines France will commence two weekly flights from the French capital to Belgrade starting June 24, each Monday and Thursday, with its 148-seat Boeing 737-700 aircraft. Flights are initially planned to operate on a seasonal basis, until September 5. The carrier, which boasts a fleet of fifteen passenger and cargo aircraft, will compete directly against Air Serbia's thirteen weekly flights and Air France's daily service between the two cities, with the latter only recently announcing its return to Belgrade.
ASL Airlines France is a common visitor in Belgrade, with its Boeing fleet maintained by Jat Tehnika. ASL offers a buy on-board food and beverage service, while the lowest economy fares do not include checked-in baggage. The airline is aiming to attract point to point passengers on the route during the high season by offering lower fares than its competitors. In addition to Belgrade, ASL Airlines France maintains scheduled flights from Paris to Algiers and Tel Aviv, as well as a number of seasonal routes in France and Spain. The carrier, formerly known as Europe Airpost, focuses heavily on cargo transport. Tickets for its new Belgrade service are already on sale.
During the 2019 summer season, Belgrade will boast up to four daily flights between Belgrade and Paris on select days. In addition, low cost carrier Wizz Air maintains two weekly flights from the Serbian capital to Beauvais, which is some 85 kilometres north of central Paris. The developments come in the lead-up to the 25-year takeover of Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport by France's Vinci. The company recently finalised new collective agreements with the airport's staff members and is expected to take full control of the airport next month upon the payment of its 450 million euro fee to the Serbian government.
