Air Serbia further grows network amid demand surge
Air Serbia will be increasing flights across its network as demand continues to recover at a faster pace than initially expected. As of July 13, the airline will be adding additional frequencies to Oslo, Amsterdam, Stockholm and Vienna, while operations to Montenegro will outstrip pre-pandemic levels and will involve the use of the carrier’s Airbus A330-200 widebody aircraft. Air Serbia, which launched two weekly services to the Norwegian capital last summer will now operate four weekly rotations between the two cities, and plans to maintain six weekly flights to Amsterdam, four weekly to Stockholm and daily to Vienna.
The carrier’s General Manager for Commercial and Strategy. Jiri Marek, said, “Having in mind the increased demand and the current changes in travel restrictions, we have decided to increase the number of flights toward the most popular destinations in our network, and provide even better connectivity to our passengers. These are primarily destinations which have traditionally been of interest to our travellers for years, with the exception to Oslo, which was launched last year, but already became one of the most popular routes, which makes us very glad”.
Due to high demand, Air Serbia is adding an additional 12.340 seats on its flights to Tivat during July by introducing an extra 43 rotations to the Montenegrin coast. As a result, Air Serbia will run 54 weekly flights between Belgrade and Tivat in July, while the number of daily rotations on the route will range from six to as many as eight. This month, Air Serbia plans to operate three daily flights to Podgorica. The carrier has scheduled its 257-seat A330-200 jet on services to the Montenegrin capital on July 18 and August 1, with more dates to be added.
Commenting on the developments, Mr Marek noted, “The demand for travel between Serbia and Montenegro has been on a steady rise, and we are pleased to be able to meet passengers’ needs and offer them the widest possible choice. Our primary focus will be on maintaining a sustained and strong air connection between the cities in the region, but also with other destinations in our network. We are being flexible with the type of equipment we are deploying, addressing the needs of our passengers at all times. We have also used our biggest aircraft, the Airbus A330, several times on the route to Podgorica, and based on highly positive feedback we will be utilising it on a more regular basis to accommodate higher demand and offer our customers a superior travel experience”.
