Air Serbia nasce grazie all'accordo con Etihad


Volerò con Air Serbia da MXp a BEG a metà dicembre, costa meno della metà rispetto ad LH.
Tra l'altro, guardando per altre mete quali DXB, fare scalo a BEG è moooolto più economica delle concorrenti. Sia in Y che in C.

In che date? Forse riuscirai a volare sui nuovi A319.
 
Volato stasera FCO-BEG con Air Serbia: la differenza del servizio di bordo rispetto al passato è più che evidente.
Dimostrazione informativa delle procedure di sicurezza ed emergenza: assistenti di volo precisi e coordinati tra loro e con la voce della capocabina: sembrava un balletto sincronizzato;
Pasto di bordo in economica: quasi a livello di KLM tra le europee, anni luce rispetto ad AF eeeeeee AZ;
Unica pecca:il B733 di stasera era sì stato ripulito dal volo precedente, con qualche mancanza di attenzione al dettaglio: briciole sui sedili principalmente.

In generale, bel passo avanti: probabilmente EY avrà imposto i propri standard di qualità.

The CEO of Etihad Airways, James Hogan, says he expects to see Air Serbia operating with a profit by the end of next year and denies speculation the Emirati national carrier was pressured into buying a minority stake in Jat Airways and rebranding the airline. “We believe we can bring Air Serbia back to profitability in 2014. If I didn’t think we could move this airline to profitability I wouldn’t be here. If it can’t be worked commercially we won’t do it and I have not been under any pressure from the Abu Dhabi government to do this deal”, Mr. Hogan says.

Etihad Airways, which after Air Serbia has its largest controlling stake in Air Seychelles (40%), managed to turnaround the loss making airline in exactly a year’s time by posting a one million dollar profit in 2012. The successful result is attributed to leveraging the economies of scale and synergies arising from the equity alliance with Etihad. This entailed the renegotiation of contracts for catering, ground handling and in-flight entertainment, as well as the conclusion of joint contracts for fuel, uniforms and stationery supplies, all of which improved service and significantly reduced costs. Etihad Airways and Air Serbia have signed similar agreements with concrete results to be visible to the public in January 2014 when Etihad Airways officially takes over its 49% stake in Air Serbia.

Mr. Hogan says Etihad is the mothership in the Air Serbia scenario and has a clear commercial plan for the airline. “They are legacy carriers set up by the government and didn’t have a clear commercial plan. The Serbian government has absorbed the previous debt. We are not here to manage someone’s problems from the past. What we can’t risk is Etihad’s performance being dragged down by somebody else”, he says defiantly. “Etihad is here in this carrier for the long haul. As I have always said, we look at equity partnership as a commercial opportunity and an investment opportunity”, Mr. Hogan concludes. Under the current agreement with the Serbian government, Etihad Airways will have a 49% stake in Air Serbia until January 1, 2019.

Etihad ordered 10 A320neos for Air Serbia
Air Serbia is the actual customer behind the 10 A320neos Etihad Airways announced earlier this week in a larger order worth a combined total of $26.9 billion. Dane Kondic, Air Serbia Chief Executive Officer, told reporters on Sunday that his airline would take delivery of the Etihad Airways firm order for the A320neos from 2018. Etihad Airways negotiated the order for the 10 aircraft as part of a wider deal with French airplane manufacturer Airbus.

Air Serbia, which launched two new services this week to Prague and Banja Luka, has been rapidly expanding its presence in the Serbian market, commanding nearly 47% of weekly flights and seats at the capital city, Belgrade.
Located in the Balkans at the crossroads of Central and Southern Europe, Serbia borders Hungary to the north, Romania and Bulgaria to the east, Macedonia to the south, as well as Croatia, Bosnia and Montenegro to the west. The landlocked country is still disputing the region of Kosovo, which declared its independence from Serbia in 2008, which has since been recognised by 106 United Nations member states.
Serbia’s only international airports, which dominate the country’s passenger traffic, are Belgrade and Nis Airports, handling a combined 3.39 million passengers in 2012. Belgrade is the main gateway to the country, handling 3.02 million passengers in the first ten months of 2013. During the 2006 and 2012 period, the country’s aviation market has recorded a yearly increase of 7% in traffic, rapidly recovering after the economic crisis that hit Europe in 2008. In the first eleven months of 2013, for which data is already available, the two airports recorded a traffic increased of 4.2% compared to the corresponding period of the previous year, with 3.29 million passengers achieved until end-November. If the airport continues on this growth trajectory, it will achieve close to 3.53 million passengers in 2013, based on anna.aero forecasts.

[h=2]Air Serbia bosses Belgrade[/h]Unsurprisingly, Air Serbia, the former JAT Airways, which has been undergoing a restructuring campaign since Etihad Airways acquired a 49% stake in October, is by far the dominant airline at Belgrade, operating on 27 routes and commanding nearly 47% of weekly flights and seats (on that basis it has been excluded from the following graph). The carrier has grown rapidly in 2013, increasing its seat capacity by 40% and flights by 34.3% when compared to 2012. A series of routes have been recently launched, such as the daily services to Prague in Czech Republic and Banja Luka in Bosnia and Herzegovina on 1 December. In addition, the carrier, which has a fleet of 21 aircraft and another 16 on order, is looking forward to expanding its European network with two more daily services on 10 December, this time to Bucharest and Ljubljana.

As of December 2013, Air Serbia along with the top 12 airlines, represent a seat share of 95.3% at Belgrade. Both Wizz Air and Austrian Airlines have strengthened their presence with annual growth in weekly seats of 38.8% and 13% respectively, while Alitalia has recorded the greatest decrease (-34%), when compared to December 2012. Pegasus Airlines, easyJet and Etihad are new entrants in the Serbian market in 2013, the latter operating a 3,830-kilometre daily service to Abu Dhabi, utilising its 106-seat A319s.
[h=2]10 out of top 13 country markets growing[/h]Seat capacity has been increased by 23.6% at Belgrade, with 10 out of 13 country markets recording growth, when comparing data from December with the same week last year. The stand out performances are those emanating from Russia, Turkey and Greece, with all three experiencing annual growth of over 70%. On the other hand, the services to Austria have provided the largest capacity decrease (-23.8%), as a result of NIKI withdrawing from this market, along with Air Serbia reducing its weekly seat offer by 18.1%.

Germany has managed to maintain its top position in 2013; however three new entrants have made it to this year’s ranking, namely Czech Republic, Hungary, and Israel. Air Serbia started serving both Israel and Czech Republic in 2013, with four-weekly services to Tel Aviv and a daily service to Prague, while Budapest in Hungary has been launched by Belavia with twice-weekly services.
[h=2]16 new services from Belgrade so far in 2013[/h]Since the start of the year, Belgrade has welcomed 16 new city pairs from nine different carriers. Air Serbia (with five services) and Wizz Air (with four) are the only airlines that have launched more than one service so far in 2013. Out of the 16 destinations, Abu Dhabi is the most frequently served destination, as a result of Etihad’s daily service and Air Serbia’s four-weekly services.

[h=2]Second airport in Serbia, currently with no commercial services[/h]Nis Airport, the second largest airport in Serbia with 27,426 passengers handled in 2012, currently has no commercial services as Darwin Airline and Montenegro Airlines decided to terminate their operations in January and October respectively. Darwin flew to Geneva and Zurich, while Montenegro Airlines operated to Podgorica in Montenegro from Nis.
[h=2]Pristina Airport – traffic declines as Belle Air Europe collapses[/h]Pristina Airport, which handled 1.5 million passengers last year, serves the capital of Kosovo, a region still disputed by Serbia. The airport had served as a hub for Belle Air Europe until this week, when the subsidiary of Belle Air ceased its operations too, as a result of its parent’s demise. The low-cost carrier was the dominant player at Pristina, serving eleven destinations and commanding 25.4% of weekly flights. As of December 2013, other notable carriers serving the airport are Turkish Airlines, operating double-daily flights to Istanbul, and Austrian which links Vienna with ten weekly services. This year, Germania launched twice weekly services to London Gatwick on 29 June, while, Pegasus Airlines inaugurated the route to Antalya on 20 May, operated with twice-weekly flights.
