Flag carrier Air Serbia plans to start operating its service linking Belgrade to Turkey’s Istanbul on a daily basis as of September 19, it said on Friday.
“Adding two weekly flight to Istanbul is a clear indicator of the increasing demand by our passengers for flights to the city on the Bosphorus, as well as the good connections that Air Serbia offers via Belgrade to Vienna, Berlin, Zurich, Paris, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Ljubljana, Podgorica, Prague, Tivat, Zagreb, Stuttgart and other European cities,” commercial and strategy general manager Jiri Marek said in a statement.
The flights will be operated with Airbus A319 aircraft, offering 2,016 seats a week to Air Serbia’s passengers on the route to Istanbul, the company said.
Last month, Air Serbia said it signed a codeshare agreement with Turkish Airlines to launch codeshare flights linking Belgrade to Istanbul. Through the enhanced partnership, Turkish Airlines and Air Serbia put their own flight codes on each other’s Istanbul-Belgrade flights on August 15, SeeNews reports.
