U.S. airline inspectors arrive in Belgrade

This approval would be huge for Air Serbia, and for the region. Direct flights to the US and Canada could benefit Serbia greatly, and many of the people in Serbia, and those countries that border Serbia (Bosna, Croatia, Montenegro, Macedonia). It would be a far easier connection at a smaller airport like Belgrade than in Germany, France, England, etc. Plus, that would hopefully lead to more jobs as Air Serbia would see more traffic and more flights.

uh... ya. except for the small fact that Serbia has 1-2 flights a day to SOME european capitals, whereas bigger hubs have 1-2 an hour.

There isn't going to be trans-atlantic flights in the near future, nor should there be. Lots of people see this as the next logical step in Air Serbia, and maybe it makes sense if you travel to Serbia every few years.

Etihad and Air Serbia already said trans-atlantic flights are coming. I believe they will be. Second, Air Serbia will never have as many flights as Lufthansa, Air France, British Airways, etc. However, for the region (Croatia, Bosna, Montenegro, Macedonia, possibly Slovenia, Romania, Bulgaria) there COULD be a market. The connection in Belgrade will be far easier, it's closer in geography, and Air Serbia flies to those cities. The flight schedule would have to be coordinated for connections, but it's possible. That with originating Serbian passengers could make it profitable.

Air Serbia will not be taking passengers from Germany, Italy, etc, nor am I saying they will. I'm talking about Balkan region, and with the Etihad code share possibly passengers from Dubai. Similar to what Jat was doing (minus the Etihad code share). A 767-300, A330-200, and ideally a 787 sized aircraft is ideal for that route. Competitive pricing can get some market share.
