Air Serbia to bring back nine routes as demand returns
Air Serbia is in the process of restoring nine destinations to its route network as the airline says there have been “changes in demand” which are heading in a “positive direction”. Service from Belgrade to Thessaloniki were restored over the weekend and will be followed by Dubrovnik and Split on May 28, Prague, Sofia, Bucharest and Krasnodar on June 4, St Petersburg on June 8, as well as Milan on June 18. “Having in mind the gradual relaxation of travel restrictions, as well as the approaching peak of the season, we have decided to re-establish flights to certain popular destinations in our network. We are glad that the summer season is coming and, judging by the apparent changes in demand, the situation is developing in a positive direction”, Air Serbia said.
Frequencies to all nine destinations are, for the most part, well below 2019 levels. Flights to Greece’s second largest city will operate seven times per week - twice daily on Mondays and Fridays and once daily on Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Split will initially return with two weekly rotations, increasing to three from mid-June, while Dubrovnik and Milan will be maintained twice weekly. Air Serbia plans to run three weekly flights to Sofia - twice daily on Mondays and one flight on Fridays, as well as two weekly services to Prague, St Petersburg and Krasnodar. Operations to Bucharest will initially run twice per week before increasing to five weekly rotations by the end of June. The carrier also intends on launching its brand new service to Rostov-on-Don starting June 4.
Commenting on the return of a number of its routes, Air Serbia’s General Manager for Commercial and Strategy, Jiri Marek, said, “We are pleased that we have the opportunity to enable passengers to plan their summer vacation to popular coastal destinations such as Dubrovnik and Split, for which there is traditionally a lot of interest because of their beauty and proximity. The air connection to the capital of Romania is also very important to us, primarily for economic reasons. Direct flights to the capitals of the Czech Republic and Bulgaria are also very important”. During May, Air Serbia became the largest carrier across all former Yugoslav markets in terms of flights on offer, with the airline maintaining 1.168 operations. It is followed by Croatia Airlines with 1.072, Wizz Air with 794 and Austrian Airlines with 529 flights during the month.
