Over thirty new EX-YU routes cancelled
As airlines begin to draft their schedules for June, they are further delaying the launch or completely cancelling new routes to cities across the former Yugoslavia, which were to commence between March and July, as a result of the coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic. Ryanair, along with its subsidiaries, has now moved its remaining planned new services to the first week of July. "Ryanair now expects the recovery of passenger demand and pricing (to 2019 levels) will take at least two years, until summer 2022 at the earliest", it said, adding that it expects to report a net loss of over 100 million euros in the April to June quarter, with more losses to come.

The fate of new routes set to be launched by the Lufthansa Group this summer, including Austrian’s Vienna - Zadar, Eurowings’ Stuttgart to Belgrade and Swiss’ Geneva to Dubrovnik service will be known this week, as it plans to load its June timetable. The airline group will be scheduling flights on a month-by-month basis. A total of eighty aircraft from the Group’s fleet will be reactivated with the June timetable. This means that a total of 106 destinations can be served in the coming month. From June 1, 160 aircraft will be in service with the Group's passenger airlines. “The Lufthansa Group's airlines are thus responding to the growing interest of customers in air travel, following the gradual easing of restrictions and limitations in the German federal states and entry regulations of other countries in Europe”, the company noted.

Air Serbia is the latest to cancel its planned new services, cutting six destinations which were to be inaugurated from Belgrade next month. Although the airline still has flights between Kraljevo and Thessaloniki set to launch as early as next week, the airport in Kraljevo isn’t expected to open for another month. “We will endeavour to operate as many scheduled flights as possible. Our team is carefully following the ongoing decisions of competent authorities”, the company said. LOT Polish Airlines, which also has a number of new services planned for the region, is expected to address its schedule within the next week, with most new routes expected to be cancelled.
