Air Serbia, националната авиокомпания на Република Сърбия, ще разшири полетите си до Хамбург от сезонно до целогодишно обслужване. Промяната е инициирана в резултат на силното представяне на маршрута през летния сезон.
От 4-ти октомври тази година авиопревозвачът ще изпълнява три полета седмично до най-големия пристанищен град в Германия население от над 1.8 милиона жители. Освен това по маршрута авиокомпанията ще представи своя нов, по-голям Airbus A319, който е с капацитет от 128 места.
Новият Airbus A319 ще замени настоящата услуга, извършвана от 86-местния Bombardier CRJ-900, нает от Adria Airways. Промяната ще доведе до увеличаване на седмичния капацитет от места с 12 на сто до 768 места, като пътнищите ще могат да се възползват и от възможността за резервиране на билети в бизнес класа.
Дане Кондич, главен изпълнителен директор на Air Serbia, коментира:
„Първоначално стартираща като лятна услуга, линията до Хамбург бързо се установи като ценна дестинация, със силно затоварване.“
„В резултат на своята изключителна ефективност, ние решихме да разширим полетите до Хамбург до целогодишна услуга, предлагайки на нашите пътници по-голям избор и удобство при пътуване до този известен пристанищен град, който е един от най-големите морски търговски центрове в Европа.“
„Нашия директен полет от Белград до Хамбург отнема само два часа и е в подходящо време, за да предложи бързи връзки в сръбската столица с градове като Атина, Солун, София и Букурещ, гарантирайки на нашите пътници спокойно и комфортно пътуване с Air Serbia.“
Air Serbia стартира полетите си до Хамбург на 15-ти юни 2016 г., което направи града петата нон-стоп дестинация в Германия след Берлин, Дюселдорф, Франкфурт и Щутгарт.
Air Serbia has said it has no plans to order additional wide-body aircraft to join its sole Airbus A330-200 jet but has reaffirmed its commitment to maintain long haul flights. Speaking to "Airlineratings", Air Serbia's CEO, Dane Kondić, said, "We are currently developing a strategic five-year plan. There are no plans to order more wide-bodies, but looking at it, when you get a second aircraft, you get a lot more synergies as well. If we weren't an Etihad Airways partner there is no way on earth we would have been able to realise the ambition to fly to the United States". He added, "We decided that with EAP [Etihad Airways Partner] synergies and low fuel prices it was now or never for our JFK route. The aircraft [A330-200] comes from Jet Airways in India, the pilots were trained at Alitalia, cabin crew at Etihad, the aircraft are serviced between Rome and Abu Dhabi and our GSA [General Sales Agent] in the US is Etihad. That’s living, breathing proof of synergy in action".
Since launching services to the United States in June 2016, the airline says passenger numbers on the route are 40% above the business plan after the first half year of operations, although yields haven't performed as hoped for, due to less Americans travelling on the route to Europe for fear of terror attacks, according to the airline. "The Balkans is a huge market and all the carriers in the Balkans are broken. We could not start with a clean slate, we inherited all the problems of JAT. We managed to move very quickly and focused on turning this business around. We have done a lot of things here in three years that other airlines wouldn’t do in ten years”, Mr Kondić noted.
The Serbian carrier is preparing to take delivery of ten new Airbus A320neos from next year, which are part of a bulk order from Etihad for 45 aircraft. In an earlier interview, Air Serbia's CEO said, "As one aircraft enters the fleet another will exit it. However, these aeroplanes give us the possibility to access new markets, for example Iran or Central Asia or North Africa. These are destinations that are within a two and a half-hour radius. The Far East is also a potential market for us if you consider relations between Serbia and the People's Republic of China", Mr Kondić said. He added, "We believe that Serbia has enormous potential. When we grow we aim to do it responsibly".
Air Serbia to suspend operations from Belgrade to Istanbul
Friday, 10. February 2017.
Air Serbia has taken the decision to suspend operations between Belgrade and Istanbul, effective 14 March.
The decision was made as a result of declining point-to-point passenger traffic and yield on the route, which has underperformed company expectations, and follows in the footsteps of other airlines that have withdrawn from the Turkish market.
The Airbus A319 aircraft currently serving Istanbul will be redeployed on other, more profitable routes to ensure the airline’s capacity is best-utilized to meet air travel demand on its network.
Air Serbia will continue to serve the Turkish market with seasonal flights through its charter brand, Aviolet, and is exploring additional options to provide air connections to Turkey through other partners.
All guests who are booked to travel on affected flights will be offered alternative travel options for their journey or provided a refund on tickets.
Guests are advised to contact the Air Serbia Contact Centre on 0800 111 528 from Serbia or +381 11 311 21 23 from abroad.

Air Serbia will shift towards a more "hybrid" business model later this year, which combines the cost-saving methodologies of pure low cost carriers with the flexibility and route structure of a full-service airline, in an attempt to increase cost effectiveness and adapt to the needs of the market in terms of pricing. The development marks the latest structural change at one of Etihad Airways' equity partners. The new model will bring with it a number of changes to the airline's product as it alters its strategy on short haul routes. As previously announced, from June, the carrier will begin charging a thirty euro check-in fee at Belgrade Airport for lower priced tickets (complimentary for online check-in), preferred seating and will begin rolling out new slimline seats across its Airbus A319 and A320 fleet. The carrier is expected to unveil further product modifications on its European network in the coming weeks, which may include pre-paid meals and luggage-free fares.
Air Serbia has announced it will be suspending operations to Abu Dhabi from October 29 in order to focus on its European network. It signals the airline putting a greater focus on attracting more point-to-point passengers, who bring in greater revenue per seat. These measures will not affect the airline's flagship service to New York, operated by the A330-200 jet, which will remain unchanged. Recently, Air Serbia's CEO, Dane Kondić, noted, "With our current business model, while still showing growth, it is growing at a decreasing rate. That means that we have to change something because we are not growing as fast as we need to grow with what we have. Meanwhile, if you look at the growth of low cost airlines, it is significant. So we can continue to do the same thing and grow at a slower rate, or we can look at the ideas that we are reviewing and see which of those we can apply to our business to ensure that we continue to accelerate our growth". He added, "Conceptually, we have to evolve our business model from what it is today, to a model that will allow us to continue to grow and continue to work to lower costs”.
Air Serbia's CEO said last year the airline is preparing for strong competition from low cost carriers on the Serbian market. Speaking to "Business Insider" in 2016, Mr Kondić noted that Air Serbia’s future is framed by the competitive environment of the broader market, which includes significant changes to the airline business in Serbia as well. “Serbia is not part of the European Union and so we don’t have the degree of openness and competitive environment that other countries who are part of the EU would have”, the CEO said. He added, “As a result, we don’t have as much low cost carrier penetration in the market”. However, Mr Kondić warned that the flood of low cost carriers that have waged war on traditional airlines across Europe is on its way to Serbia. “It definitely weighs heavily on our thoughts in terms of our future plans”.
The changes come as part-owner Etihad Airways deals with two fledgling equity partners - Alitalia and Air Berlin. While Etihad let Alitalia slide into bankruptcy after workers spurned a restructuring plan, the Persian Gulf carrier is showing more patience with Air Berlin and has agreed to provide the German company with financial support for at least another eighteen months. Air Serbia recorded a profit in 2014 and 2015, and although its financial results for 2016 are yet to be published, the carrier's Supervisory Board Chairman has said the previous year was also profitable. Saj Ahmed, Chief Analyst at the UK-based consultancy firm Strategic Aero, believes Etihad's unique business model has worked well for Air Serbia and Air Seychelles, unlike some of its other investments, and the duo will unlikely be affected in a future shake-up of Etihad's equity stakes. For its part, Etihad said it is "fully committed" to Air Serbia and that "speculation about a change to Etihad Aviation Group’s investment in and support for its equity partner, Air Serbia, is totally inaccurate and wholly unfounded".
