Aegean Airlines to grow operations across EX-YU in 2023
Greece’s Aegean Airlines plans to increase operations across all markets it serves in the former Yugoslavia next summer season, after announcing the launch of new routes from Athens to Ljubljana and Split. The carrier will introduce an additional weekly flight for a total of five to Belgrade from July until August. All services will be operated by the Airbus A320 aircraft. Furthermore, the airline will restore scheduled one weekly seasonal operations from both Heraklion and Rhodes to the Serbian capital from June. In Skopje, it will up capacity from the 46-seat ATR42 aircraft to the 72-seat ATR72. Although the switch was initially planned for this summer, the overwhelming majority of services were operated by the smaller turboprop.
The Greek carrier will notably increase capacity between Athens and Podgorica. Its two weekly service will be maintained with the 174-seat A320 jet instead of the ATR72 from early June until October. In Croatia, Aegean Airlines will add a third weekly rotation to Zagreb from mid-June, up from two this summer. It comes as the carrier restores its pre-pandemic winter operations to the Croatian capital, with services to be maintained until January of next year, rather than until October 8 of this year, as was initially planned. On the coast, Aegean will run up to five weekly flights to Dubrovnik, up from four this summer.
The Greek carrier told EX-YU Aviation News, "The former Yugoslav region is an important market for Aegean Airlines. Demand for these routes remain strong as passengers are able to travel to Athens and beyond. Our performance is satisfactory on this market, as is the cooperation we have with partner airlines in the region. Almost all flights from the former Yugoslav republics to Athens offer very good point to point coverage, as well as access to thirty Greek domestic destinations, connections to Cyprus and destinations in the Middle East and Southern Italy, which have proved popular with passengers from the Balkan region”.
