EX-YU carriers to boost operations in lead-up to summer
Air Serbia and Croatia Airlines are set to increase frequencies across their respective networks as one of the year’s slowest months in the industry draws to a close and the 2022 summer season approaches on March 27. Air Serbia will restore three routes it temporarily suspended during February, including Thessaloniki on March 4, Sofia on March 7 and Brussels on March 8. As entry restrictions across Europe are eased, the carrier will increase its frequencies from Belgrade to Zurich from eleven weekly rotations to double daily flights, with additional departures to be added from next week to Athens, Barcelona, Berlin, Copenhagen, London Heathrow, Paris and Rome. The airline will also increase its frequencies to Ljubljana from six to eight weekly.
Croatia Airlines plans to grow its operations over the coming weeks, primarily to Lufthansa Group hubs. The carrier will be adding the most flights on its Zagreb - Munich route, where frequencies will be increased from the existing nine weekly rotations to a double daily service. Croatia Airlines is currently the sole operator on the route, with Lufthansa planning to restore operations between the two cities on May 2 for the first time since the start of the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020. The Croatian carrier will also boost departures between Zagreb and Vienna from its existing three weekly services to between four and six weekly flights. An additional rotation will also be added to Zurich for a total of thirteen weekly, while Brussels will be increased by two weekly services for a total of ten, although this will be limited only to one week in early March.
Air Montenegro currently plans to maintain the same number of scheduled flights over the coming weeks in the lead-up to the summer season, with the carrier to maintain double daily operations from Podgorica to Belgrade, three weekly to Ljubljana and two weekly to Frankfurt. In addition, the carrier will run daily services from Tivat to the Serbian capital, as well as two weekly rotations to Istanbul. Air Montenegro has announced plans to boost existing frequencies from late March onwards, as well as introduce five new routes, including three in April and one each in May and June.
