Transavia’s Dutch unit to suspend all EX-YU flights
Low cost carrier Transava is temporarily suspending operations from the Netherlands to markets in the former Yugoslavia due to travel restrictions and entry bans which have resulted in fledgling demand. The decision will affect the airline’s operations to Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia. The budget carrier is temporarily suspending its flights from Amsterdam to Ljubljana starting September 13. Services are set to resume on October 29. As of last Sunday, Slovenia has placed the Netherlands on its red list, requiring all arriving travellers, irrespective of their citizenship and nationality to go into fourteen days of quarantine, although some exceptions apply. Transavia was among the first airlines to restore operations to Ljubljana, once the airport reopened for commercial traffic. As a result, there will be no commercial flights between Slovenia and the Netherlands until late October.
Transavia will suspend its seasonal operations to the Croatian coast on September 19 and September 20. This includes flights from Rotterdam to Dubrovnik, Split, Pula and Zadar, as well as from Eindhoven to Rijeka. As all of these services are seasonal, they will not be restored until the 2021 summer season. Last year, flights were maintained until mid-October. All passengers arriving from Croatia into the Netherlands are required to self-isolate for a period of ten days, even if the traveller is in possession of a negative coronavirus Covid-19 test. Croatia Airlines, which last year maintained a seasonal one weekly service from Dubrovnik to Amsterdam via Pula, has not restored the flights this summer. It continues to run daily operations from Zagreb to the Netherlands’ largest city, although select flights in September have been cancelled.
The Air France - KLM subsidiary has temporarily suspended its flights between Amsterdam and Belgrade this September, with three weekly services scheduled to resume on October 1. Serbian nationals are not permitted to enter the Netherlands although some exceptions apply. A decision on whether to recommend the reopening of the European Union’s external borders for Serbian citizens is expected to be made by the bloc in mid-September. Air Serbia continues to operate four weekly services to Amsterdam, while Wizz Air maintains two weekly operations to Eindhoven. Transavia was among the first foreign carriers to resume flights to Belgrade.
