Air Serbia resuming Niš and Kraljevo operations
Air Serbia will partially resume operations from its secondary base in Niš, as well as Kraljevo, from June 16 and June 30 respectively, after the carrier received approval from the Ministry for Construction, Transport and Infrastructure. Between June 16 and June 30, the carrier will recommence services from Niš to Hahn and Nuremberg, while flights to Hannover, Salzburg and Tivat will be reinstated from July 1. Other destinations served from the city, including Bologna, Friedrichshafen, Gothenburg, Baden Baden, Ljubljana and Rome are under review and will restart following “careful monitoring of the situation and consideration of all factors”. Flights between Kraljevo and Vienna will resume on June 30. No mention has been made of the airline’s planned new service from Morava Airport to Thessaloniki, which was initially due to commence on March 27. Tickets for the route are currently available for booking from August 1. The exact flight schedule and weekly frequencies for the abovementioned services will be announced shortly.
Commenting on the resumption of flights from Niš and Kraljevo, Air Serbia’s CEO, Duncan Naysmith, said, “Conditions have been met for the gradual recommencement of flights from Niš and Kraljevo. This is great news for our passengers from south and south-western Serbia, who have eagerly awaited this development. During the past two and a half months, we have been inundated with questions about when we will be restarting flights from these two cities. For all of us at Air Serbia, it is a great pleasure that I can confirm that we will recommence flying from Niš on June 16 and from Kraljevo on June 30. Families and friends will be able to see each other again, and this will certainly be followed by businesspeople and tourists”.
Niš Airport reopened for commercial traffic last Friday with Wizz Air resuming operations to the city. On the other hand, Air Serbia is Kraljevo Airport’s only customer. All of Air Serbia’s flights operated from the two cities are state subsidised. Air Serbia is gradually rebuilding its network out of Belgrade and recently outlined its preliminary schedule up to June 21, which will see it serve 32 destinations. The airline is due to resume operations from the Serbian capital to Paris and Amsterdam today, followed by Sarajevo next Thursday and Banja Luka next Friday. Long haul operations to New York will recommence next Saturday.
