Air Serbia carrier marks first anniversary
Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vučić congratulated the Air Serbia workforce in his own name and on behalf of the Serbian government at the celebration in the Belgrade City Hall.“You represent Serbia in the best possible way and in just a year you managed to turn a near bankrupt company into a firm that we take pride in,” Vučić said.
In August 2013, Etihad Airways and the Serbian government signed a strategic partnership agreement on the formation of a new national airline as the successor of the public enterprise Jat Airways.
Vučić said that he also sees the progress that Air Serbia made in the fact that Belgrade Airport is today two-three times more expensive than it was just a year ago, and that world companies are competing to win a concession for it.
Air Serbia CEO Dane Kondic said that Serbia's national air carrier is on the right track to become a profitable company by the end of the year.
“The business results for the third quarter are truly impressive. In August, we had record results so far,” Kondić said.
This is a special day as it also marks 87 years since the foundation of the Jat airline, he said.
Kondić noted that Air Serbia now flies to 39 destinations in 29 countries, and that there are 20 additional destinations in the Middle East, Asia and Australia that are realized with partners.
With the latest delivery of Airbus A319 in September, the first phase of the fleet upgrade was completed, and the provision of airplanes will be continued in 2018 when the delivery of the new Airbus generation, A320neo, is set to begin, Kondic said.
Siniša Mali, the chairman of the Air Serbia supervisory board and Belgrade mayor, said that in just a year the company turned into one of the largest in Europe.
“We will achieve the objective that the Serbian government set for us,” Mali said, adding that this is an example of the most successful consolidation in the history of the European air industry.
The first Air Serbia plane set off for Abu Dhabi on October 26, marking the official beginning of the company's work.
