Air Serbia and Turkish Airlines cement cooperation agreement
NEWS FLASH
Air Serbia and Turkish Airlines have expanded their wide-ranging codeshare agreement with the airline’s two CEOs, Jiri Marek and Bilal Eksi, signing off on the deal in Istanbul. Under the expanded agreement, Air Serbia will place its flight numbers and designator code on AnadoluJet’s service between Ankara and Belgrade. On the other, Turkish Airlines will do the same on its Serbian counterpart’s services from Istanbul to both Niš and Kraljevo. Mr Eksi noted, “As Turkish Airlines, we are glad to expand our existing cooperation through this enhanced codeshare agreement with Air Serbia. With the introduction of new codeshare flights on several destinations in Serbia, Turkey and the Balkans, passengers have started to benefit from an effective opportunity to enjoy more travel alternatives. We hope to provide further travel prospects for our customers with the enhanced bilateral rights in the forthcoming period”. Mr Marek added, “Improving our commercial cooperation with Turkish Airlines began in mid-2020, just a few months after the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, which completely changed air traffic. Despite the fact that we had to meet remotely, we managed to agree an extremely successful cooperation on flights between our hubs, which quickly expanded to additional points. It is a great honour for me that we can now sign the additional expansion of codeshare cooperation between the two companies in a direct way, by the meeting of the two CEOs and thus formalise even better cooperation in the months and years to come, hopefully with the weakening of the pandemic and global recovery of air traffic”.
Turkish Airlines currently codeshares on Air Serbia’s flights from Belgrade to Istanbul and Banja Luka, while the Serbian carrier codeshares on its counterpart’s flights from Istanbul to Ankara, İzmir, Adana, Antalya, Dalaman, Gaziantep, Kayseri, Konya, Trabzon, Gazipaşa, Bodrum, Odessa, Kiev, Amman, Cairo and Tel Aviv.
