Air Serbia plans further route resumptions
Air Serbia has tentatively scheduled the resumption of flights to three destinations it has not served since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in March of last year. The airline recently put on sale flights from Belgrade to Madrid, Tel Aviv and Venice. Services are scheduled to resume from the start of the winter season on October 31, although changes remain likely. At this point, the Serbian carrier plans to run two weekly flights on each route. This is compared to five weekly rotations to Tel Aviv and three to Venice in the winter months leading up to the start of Covid-19, while the published frequencies to Madrid remain at pre-pandemic levels.
On the other hand, the airline is yet to put tickets on sale for flights from Belgrade to both Geneva and Rostov-on-Don for the upcoming winter. Services to Geneva were launched last summer season and compete directly against easyJet. The route is maintained as a year-round service. Flights to Rostov were launched this June, and the airline has said it is pleased with its performance, with a high volume of transfer traffic recorded so far. “Great demand and passenger load factor on the new route [Rostov-on-Don] showed us that it was a good business decision. We will continue to monitor demand and adapt to the circumstances on the market quickly”, the airline’s General Manager for Commercial and Strategy, Jiri Marek, said late last month.
Air Serbia will continue to grow its frequencies and capacity in the coming month with the airline to operate 2.330 flights (return service included) in August, up 5.6% on July. This does not include the carrier’s charter network, which is at record levels this year. It will have 281.798 seats on sale within its scheduled network next month, up 4.6% on July. The largest volume of flights will be operated to Tivat, followed by Podgorica, Paris, Zurich and Tirana, while similarly, the largest number of seats will be made available to Tivat, Podgorica, Paris, Zurich, Moscow and New York.
