Smartwings to launch Canary Islands - Belgrade flights
Czech low cost carrier Smartwings will introduce a regular one weekly service between the Canary Islands and Belgrade from the 2021/2022 winter season, which begins in late October, the airline has announced. The carrier will maintain the flights from its base in Las Palmas, the capital of the Canary Islands, where it has three aircraft stationed. The new service will be operated in cooperation with two major European tour operators. Initially, flights will run until April 2022, with the possibility for them to be extended. During the pre-pandemic 2019, a total of 2.036 passengers flew indirectly between Belgrade and Las Palmas on a single itinerary, while some 2.500 in total travelled to the archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean on a single ticket.
Spain is open to vaccinated Serbian nationals and recognises Serbia's digital Covid certificate. Those that have had any Covid-19 jab are permitted entry into the country without restrictions, while those that have not been inoculated for the virus are not allowed entry into the country. The new route marks the culmination of Smartwings’ presence in Serbia this summer. The Czech carrier has been maintaining wet-lease operations from Belgrade on behalf of Air Serbia since June. Its Boeing 737-700 jet has been deployed on both scheduled and charter flights on behalf of the Serbian carrier with its own crew as part of an ACMI (aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance) contract. It is expected to run its final flights on behalf of the Serbian carrier this Sunday as its three-month contract comes to a close.

Smartwings' fleet is made up of 44 Boeing 737 Next Generation and MAX aircraft. It is also the owner of the Czech Republic’s national carrier Czech Airlines and one of the largest leisure operators in Central Europe.
