Niki Lauda confirmed to "24 sata" newspaper in Serbia that the airline has again made a formal request to Serbian authorities to commence scheduled services from Belgrade to a number of European destinations - although none have been confirmed as certain, the article does mention Stockholm, Palma de Mallorca, Palermo, Milan, Vienna and Hamburg as possibilities. Other points are also being considered.
I presume he plans to base 2-3 aircraft in BEG if his request is approved. Anyone have more details on this?

Why PMO and PMI?
I would expect to see a few Greek destinations on the routemap since Greece is Serbs' favourite foreign country and their No 1 tourist destination.
I guess both are potential holiday hot-spots, especially since for most Serbs, Montenegro is no longer a destination of choice, and considering the proposed fares, why not Sicily and Ibiza?

Does HG have the rights to fly from Serbia to other nations than Austria? Is there some kind of bilateral agreement between the European Union and Serbia? If I remember correctly FlyNiki has been trying to enter the Vienna-Belgrade market for some time but was unable to acquire rights because the route is already served by one carrier from each country Austria and Serbia.
Other than this potential issue I think it could be an interesting project for FlyNiki to start flights from Belgrade. The market has a lot of potential given the fact that competition from JAT is not really strong to say the least.

Quoting UN_B732 (Reply 5): Could HG start BEG-DME if they wanted to? I think that would be an interesting route.
Seriously doubt that since the route doesn't involve a country in the European Union. In order to fly routes such as BEG-DME HG would have to set up a Serbian subsidiary.

Or, just make the full use of open skies agreement that Serbia has signed and is about to ratify and implement - it does allow EU airlines cabotage rights from BEG if I recall correctly. Otherwise, as you say, they could simply register a local subsidiary.
