Air Serbia removes eleven routes from upcoming summer
Air Serbia has removed an additional eleven routes from its network for the upcoming summer season, which begins on March 28, in comparison to the pre-pandemic summer of 2019. The latest revision of its timetable indicates that services from Belgrade to Barcelona, Beirut, Cairo, Kiev, Krasnodar, Madrid, Malta, Nice, Pula, Venice and Zadar will not be going ahead this summer. Their suspension has now been extended until the start of the 2021/2022 winter season, which begins on October 31, while seasonal routes such as Nice, Pula, Malta and Zadar are not expected to return until 2022.
Unlike the summer of 2019, the airline will be serving two new destinations - Oslo and Geneva. Out of the suspended routes, Barcelona, Kiev and Malta will be covered by other airlines flying from Belgrade. The Serbian carrier had previously indicated that flights to Helsinki and Rijeka, which were run two years ago, have been terminated. Based on the existing schedule, which is subject to change as markets reopen and close due to the coronavirus pandemic, Air Serbia plans to operate 10.770 scheduled flights out of Belgrade this summer (both directions included, without charters). Out of those, services to Podgorica will be most frequent, followed closely by Tivat, Zurich, Vienna, Paris and Tirana.
At this point, Air Serbia has a total of 1.245.208 seats up for sale to and from its main hub for the upcoming summer season. Following changes to its fleet structure with the recent retirement of the Boeing 737-300 jets, the Serbian carrier will utilise the Airbus A320-familly aircraft on 60.5% of its flights. It is followed by the ATR72 which will be deployed on 37.3% of its Belgrade services and the A330-200 on 2.2% of all flights. From Niš, the carrier plans to maintain operations to Hahn, Nuremberg, Hanover, Salzburg and Tivat this summer, while operations from Kraljevo to Vienna are scheduled to resume on June 11.
Due to the evolving global health situation and Air Serbia’s quick response to changing market conditions, modifications to the upcoming summer schedule are certain to occur.
