Eurowings to launch new Belgrade service
Low cost carrier Eurowings is set to commence flights from Dusseldorf to Belgrade, marking its second route to the Serbian capital. Flights are scheduled to commence at the start of the 2022/2023 winter season, on October 30 of next year. Operations will be maintained four times per week. Tickets are now on sale through the airline’s website. The new route will complement the carrier’s existing service from Stuttgart to Belgrade, launched this summer, which is temporarily suspended as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. The carrier will run flights between the two cities on December 24, January 2 and January 9, before resuming regular operations on the route on March 4 of next year.
The Lufthansa subsidiary returned to the Serbian market this July after two years with its Stuttgart service. Initially flights were to launch in July 2020 but were delayed by a year due to Covid-19. As was the case with Stuttgart, Eurowings will compete directly against Air Serbia on its new Dusseldorf service as well, which the Serbian carrier currently maintains three times per week. Prior to the pandemic, during the winter months, flights were operated six times per week. Out of its Dusseldorf base, Eurowings also runs services to several other cities in the former Yugoslavia on a year-round basis including Pristina, Split and Zagreb, as well as seasonal flights to Dubrovnik, Rijeka and Zadar.
Despite Air Serbia serving Dusseldorf with nonstop flights from Belgrade, a notable number of passengers flew indirectly between the two cities during the pre-pandemic 2019, almost all with Lufthansa via Frankfurt and Munch. So far, a handful of airlines have confirmed new flights to the Serbian capital for next year. In addition to Eurowings, Wizz Air is set to commence operations to Rome Fiumicino Airport, while Aegean Airlines will begin scheduled flights from Rhodes and Heraklion, which were served on a charter basis during the 2021 summer season.
