Air Serbia to run over one thousand charters
Air Serbia will operate over 1.000 charter flights this summer season in cooperation with local tour operators. Today alone, the airline is running nine charters to the Egyptian resort town of Hurghada, offering almost 1.300 departing seats as the Easter and school holidays begin. Another twenty Hurghada charters are expected to operate over the next week. The national airline will commence leisure flights to Turkey in May and a number of other destinations in June, including those in Greece, Italy and Tunisia. Charters to the latter two will operate for the first time in almost three years with the carrier to serve the regions of Sicily and Calabria in Italy.
Commenting on its lucrative charter operations, Air Serbia’s General Manager for Commercial and Strategy, Boško Rupić, said, “It is our pleasure that, together with our tour operator partners, we can start renewing charter services, and we are particularly happy about the expected increase in the number of flights. It is a fact that global events have led to an unprecedented increase in jet fuel prices, and consequently the increase in the price of charter flights, but the good news is that it is possible to find tour packages that fit everyone’s budget”. He added, “If travellers plan on time, they will be able to select their holiday spot from a large number of destinations to which we operate flights, in accordance with their abilities and wishes. Existing demand shows that tourists are already planning vacations to attractive destinations which they can reach easily via direct flights from Belgrade and Niš”.
Turkey traditionally holds the top spot on the list of most popular summer destinations in Air Serbia’s network. Egypt, which has seen significant growth year after year, comes second. The carrier will also maintain charter services from Niš to Turkey and Egypt this summer. “The most popular with travellers are flights to destinations in Turkey - Antalya, Bodrum, Dalaman and Alanya, followed by Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh, as well as a large number of Greek islands such as Crete, Rhodes, Samos, Skiathos, Corfu, Kefalonia, Kos and Zakynthos”, Air Serbia concluded. The carrier has also seen a significant number of bookings by tour operators on its scheduled operations this summer season, particularly on flights to Spain and Italy.
