BELGRADE – Serbian First Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic stated on Wednesday that by the end of the year new air carrier Air Serbia will make Serbia the leader in the region and the most powerful among countries with nearly 100 million citizens, Tanjug reported. Vucic told reporters after a session of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) Presidency that he worked on this project together with United Regions of Serbia (URS) leader Mladjan Dinkic, and that he expects to see him at the signing of the agreement on strategic partnership with Etihad on Thursday.Vucic said that not even good things are accepted in Serbia, and criticized the individuals who were against new foreign management in the company.“I am happy that there will be no party members, administrative employees and secretaries…For the first, we will have a company which will not take millions from the government but rather pay taxes, make profit and be the strongest one in Serbia,” Vucic said.

Etihad Airways plans to immediately launch the new look Jat Airways, to be named Air Serbia, the country’s state run news agency “Tanjug” reports. Air Serbia’s visual identity will be revealed at the planned press conference on Thursday when the Emirati carrier will take a 49% stake in Serbia’s national airline. According to news reports, Etihad will immediately provide two Airbus A319s for use this summer. The aircraft, which will feature the Air Serbia livery, will be operated by Etihad pilots and cabin crew until Jat’s crew is formally trained for the new aircraft in time for the 2013/14 winter season. From late October, Etihad will provide a further eight A319s and retire the aging Boeing fleet.
Alongside Jat’s existing destination network, Air Serbia will launch a further fourteen new routes this winter, Siniša Mali, the finance advisor to Serbia’s Deputy Minister says. EX-YU Aviation News has revealed eleven destinations the airline will launch this winter. They are Abu Dhabi, Banja Luka, Beirut, Budapest, Bucharest, Cairo, Ljubljana, Prague, Sofia, Varna and Warsaw. As is visible from the schedule, Air Serbia’s aircraft will be operating continually with many flights running during the late night and early morning hours. Furthermore, the airline will operate double daily flights to Paris, Athens, Vienna and Zurich over the winter. Ex-YU Aviation News

Scusate l'OT, ma se un colosso come EY si è andata a impelagare coi serbi, manifestazioni di interesse sono state fatte per LOT da SQ mi pare, i turchi vogliono comprarsi quelle 4 briciole greche, io non riesco a capacitarmi come AZ non se la inc**i nessuno. Con tutta la situazione malandata in cui versa. Non è che le altre siano messe meglio. In più non hanno LR o hanno flotte da risistemare e interventi da fare. Per i serbi in particolar modo. Polacchi e greci già stanno meglio.

[h=1]Lowest Jat Airlines Rates to New Attractive destinations[/h]Jat Airways is offering airlines tickets at the most favorable rates for flights from Belgrade to as many as seven new destinations as a result of its cooperation with Etihad Airways.
The lowest price for a return ticket to Abu Dhabi and Dubai is €394, and the cheapest ticket for a return ticket to Kuwait is €480. Passengers can fly to the Seychelles and back for only€726 and buy a return ticket to Melbourne for as little as€1167, to Sydney for €1278, and to Brisbane for €1298.
These prices include all accompanying taxes except ticketing charges. For passengers traveling to Dubai, a bus transfer has been provided from Abu Dhabi airport to Marina Mall and Travel Mall stations in Dubai. The bus transfer for passengers traveling to/from Dubai will save them time and money due to the specific location of the Abu Dhabi and Dubai airports and the fact that the only other connection to the Dubai airport terminal for flights to Belgrade is by taxi.
The incredibly favorable rates for flights to these seven destinations are the result of close cooperation between the Serbian flag carrier and the national airline of U.A.E., Etihad Airways, one of the most reputable and fast-growing airlines in the world.
Airbus 319 aircraft depart from Belgrade to Abu Dhabi each day at 01:05 p.m. The flight takes 5 hours and 20 minutes and arrives at the capital of U.A.E. at 08:25 p.m. local time. The flight departs from Abu Dhabi at 08:30 a.m. and lasts 5 hours and 45 minutes to Belgrade, arriving at 12:25 local time.
All the flights from Belgrade are operated via Abu Dhabi with direct connections to cities in Australia and other attractive destinations. We will soon be expanding our offer, which will enable you to reach even more destinations served by Etihad with Jat airline tickets.

Re: Air Serbia volerà da agosto
L'acquisto del 49% di Jat da parte di EY è in realtà da intendersi non solo fine a se' stesso ma all'interno di un più vasto scenario di investimenti che porteranno gli UAE ad essere uno dei principali paesi per FDI in Serbia.

Concordo, oltretutto la scritta a piena fusoliera sa piu' di low cost/charter che compagnia di bandiera. Carino il logo

Visto che la bandiera della Repubblica Serba ha l'aquila bicefala, una coda in stile Etihad con appunto l'aquila e i colori nazionali come nella cappottatura motore non sarebbe stata una cattiva idea e avrebbe richiamato anche la parentela tra le due compagnie.

Re: “Air Srbija” volerà da agosto
Pur concorde con te, sebbene la Iugoslavia abbia iniziato a dissolversi nel 1991, fino al febbraio del 2003 lo stato si chiamava Repubblica Federale di Iugoslavia, poi mutato in Serbia e Montenegro fino all'indipendenza di quest'ultimo. Oggi è Repubblica di Serbia.
Alla fine hanno sforato solo di 10 anni con quello "jugoslovenski"

La scelta di una scritta oversize è influenzata dalle ultime tendenze in materia di livree e può piacere o meno.
Detto ciò, il logo non è male, ma che il risultato complessivo mi lascia un po' perplesso in quanto sembra un accozzaglia di stili diversi fra loro e poco amalgamati.

Re: Air Serbia volerà da agosto
BELGRADE – Serbian airline Air Serbia must become a low-cost company if it wants to “survive”, said one of the leading German experts on air traffic,
Heinrich Grossbongardt, noting that “low-cost” is the only way for a company like Jat Airways to become profitable. The arrival in Serbia of Etihad, which became Jat’s strategic partner and holds a forty-nine percent stake in the airline, Grossbongardt sees as a major opportunity.
“There is a well-established recipe for low-cost companies: how many employees do I really need? Is it cheaper for me to do maintenance myself or to
hire someone to do it for me? How many people do I need in administration, sales, and aboard the planes…? stated Grossbongardt, head of the
“Expairtise” agency, to Deutsche Welle.
This German expert says that Air Serbia is already moving in the direction of forming a low-cost company, while an important step has also been taken,
the announced acquisition of a compact Airbus A319 fleet. Fleet renewal is an excellent solution for Jat, because old types of the Boeing 737 are heavy
fuel consumers and expensive to maintain, explained Grossbongardt.
The Serbian airline is undoubtedly, he stated, an even better example of a loser than Air Berlin, since Jat has spent years “on the backs of taxpayers”,
so that many now wonder whether it is even possible to make Air Serbia profitable.
“The first chance that comes through the transition from Jat to Air Serbia is to adjust the number of employees to the size of the fleet. Secondly, Air
Serbia has to choose destinations that are profitable and to which it does not have to compete with stronger airlines,” he said.
In his opinion, Jat was of interest to Etihad precisely because it flies on routes of no interest to the major European airlines like Lufthansa and Air
France, such as routes in the Balkans and to the east of Europe.
“Air Serbia can easily become a connection for passengers who will arrive at distant destinations on aircraft belonging to Etihad. These are
destinations in North America, but above all in Asia,” said Grossbongardt.
Until recently Jat was conducting business in quite a communist fashion, he said, citing as examples the fact that four stewardesses serve aboard its
aircraft, while modern companies have three, as well as the fact that the daily allowance for pilots is 125 dollars, which now Etihad wants to abolish. In addition, Serbian pilots earn $4,000 a month in a country where the average salary is barely $400.
“If I would compare this to Air Berlin, salaries are higher here of course, but the average salary in Germany is also much higher. Here co-pilots earn
about EUR 5,000 gross, and pilots about EUR 10,000 (gross). But, Air Berlin has long flights that are charged differently and each plane is used to the
maximum, which means that pilots have many flights per day. Their productivity is enormous,” explained Grossbongardt.
In Serbia, too, pilots flew seven-eight hours per day, and now Etihad will be introducing 12-14 hour shifts.
When asked what the change from a wasteful state company to a low-cost company means to the passengers of Air Serbia, this German expert said that for
the passenger this difference is usually imperceptible.
“Compare Lufthansa, Air Berlin, which somewhat resembles a low-cost company and, for example, easyJet in the quality of services these companies offer
in Europe, and you can hardly find any difference. Of course, low-cost companies usually do not have business class, only economy class, drinks are
served on planes but not complete meals. I doubt there were complete meals on Jat earlier,” he said.
Etihad bought twenty-nine percent of Air Berlin at the end of 2011, thus becoming the largest owner and then a new man was brought in to lead the
company, the Austrian Wolfgang Prock-Schauer, who announced severe “belt-tightening” in order to save Air Berlin from the image of an eternal loser.
Grossbongardt said that all that inevitably recalls the recent takeover of the minority share of Jat Airways by Etihad, the introduction of new
management and the announcement of savings as the basis for future profitability.
“Twenty-four months has been granted as a magical period in Serbia, during which it is believed that Air Serbia will begin to make a profit. A similar
policy applies to Air Berlin, where recently announced figures show that in the second quarter of this year the loss was a mammoth EUR 38 million, but
Prock-Schauer is confident that everything is going according to plan and that by the end of the year these savings will finally yield results,” he
asserted.
When asked how he explains the fact that Air Berlin despite savings still continues to record losses, this German expert said that he would call it a
process of downsizing the company.

During the debate on the bill of amendments to the Law on Ministries, Vučić told reporters in the Serbian parliament that Air Serbia "will have ten planes next year."
According to reports, the Airbus A319 will make its inaugural flight from Belgrade to Moscow on October 27.
On August 1, Vučić and President of the national airline of the United Arab Emirates Etihad James Hogan signed in Belgrade the Agreement on strategic partnership which transforms Jat Airways into a new company, Air Serbia.
The Serbian deputy prime minister said that the new company and the agreement would make it possible for Serbia to improve its technological and business environment where 30 million passengers would get a reliable airline to important destinations in Europe and the world.
New planes should be purchased in stages and the carrier's destinations will expand to cover flights from Abu Dhabi to Melbourne, Sydney and Chicago.
