Jump to postThere is only one DC-10 left, the YU-AMB.
The flight between Belgrade and Varadero will be non-stop.
Just to add one interesting statistic:
In a recent interview to a popular Belgrade newspaper, the Cuban Ambassador to Serbia and Montenegro, Huan Sancez Monroe, confirmed that about 2.000 tourists from Serbia & Montenegro visit Cuba annually.
Just a correction to my reply above. I think the four weekly flights between Copenhagen and Zagreb is relatively feasible, provided its with the De Havilland, as opposed to the Boeing 737-800. <br><center><font color="#EEEEEE" size="1" face="ARIAL, Helvetica, Geneva"><a href="/open.file/463045/L/" t...
Jump to postI am sure that SAS and Snowflake should have more success to Split and Zagreb, since Croatia Airlines does not fly to any Scandinavian destination. The same can be said for Sarajevo.

Jump to postI do not think the summer schedule is posted for all destinations as of this time. Kuwait and Tehran did not appear in the Amadeus online database when I tried finding direct flights with JAT from Belgrade. However I am sure they will be added sometime soon.

Jump to postApparently JAT will fly the following connection:
Belgrade - Kuwait - Dubai - Kuwait - Belgrade
This will be an alternative route for Emirates-bound passengers traveling with JAT through the city of Beirut.
As i posted last week, they will also open weekly flights to Tehran.
Starting next season, JAT Airways will start regular service to Kuwait and Tehran. This is part of a new effort to focus on new markets in Asia. The airline already has regular service to Beirut, Damascus, Tel Aviv, and Dubai. Meanwhile, flights will be resumed to Sofia (part of the low-cost program...

Jump to postGlad that Tarom are getting more 737s. Are they by any chance withdrawing their 733s while the new planes are joining the fleet? Second question: does Tarom own their 733s or are they leased? Its a bit strange that Tarom configured the 737 for 116 seats, since usually those planes would be around 12...
Jump to postJAT have clearly opted to simply things. They are basically splitting the company in two components: medium and long range market versus regional. JAT Airways will take care of the medium and long range market, while its low-cost start-up, Intair Link, will concentrate on the regional market. Intair...
Jump to postAbout a week ago it was announced that JAT concluded negotiations on leasing two more Boeing 737-400s, in addition to the <acronym title="JUST (Japan)">YU</acronym>-AOO that has been flying for several months now. Both planes were produced in 1989, and will be leased to JAT for three years. The plan...
Jump to postWith all the events that were recently unfolding in Bucharest, I was wondering whether anyone has more information regarding the Romanian government order of four Airbus 318s for Tarom, or the resignation of the general director? How did independent newspapers in Romania react to the news? Thanks
Jump to postAlitaliaMD11,
Cubana is no longer leasing the YU-AMB. That plane was returned to JAT, and is now on lease to Ghana Airways.
Flybynight, This is a question that i asked myself too. Other than Northwest, another airline that is replacing 727s before the DC9s is Jat Airways from Serbia. JAT took delivery of the DC9-32 between 1970 and 1973. Some of the planes were sold to Northwest last decade, with nine remaining in the fl...
Jump to postJust one correction:
JAT flies from Belgrade to Cairo with the B737, not Bulgarian.
Air Canada is in more debt than some countries!!!!!!!
Why are they buying new jets?
To attain higher efficiency?
What a joke.
I can definately see why Air Canada is the airline many Canadians love to hate. Too bad Canadian Airlines no longer exists.

Jump to postThis is upsetting how business is still done in Romania.

Perhaps it was not true to begin with? What a s...
Jump to postThat is a very good observation actually. Either they do not update the website frequently, or something else may be happening.
Is it possible that management in Tarom are trying to oppose the decision made by the Romanian government?
I personally like the restructuring plan, since it is very feasible. The company is definately striving for simplification, and operating one family of aircraft for its medium range flights definately makes sense. Other than its original nine Boeing 737-300s, Jat Airways also owns three ATR-72s. The...
Jump to postAs for restructuring...
By next year they will add more 737-400s and ATR-72s.
So the actual fleet should consist of three aircraft models:
Boeing 737-300s
Boeing 737-400s
ATR-72s
Good idea of making the new topic, since we had two conversations starting in one thread! Steph001, You asked if Jat Airways plans to fly intercontinental routes. In fact they are now flying to New York every thursday and sunday, since the middle of september. The agreement was reached with Uzbekist...
Jump to postAnyone going to answer the question: which regional aircraft is cheaper to operate, ATRs or ERJs?
I am sure they both have their own benefits, but for a 300 - 500 km flight, what would be regarded as most feasible with normal payload?
Steph001, I definately agree with what you said. Malev and LOT have complicated things a bit too much. Malev show the intention of replacing the 737 classics with the newer generation aircraft, however this process is definately long term. It remains a question why they didnt acquire one particular ...
Jump to postWith the withdrawal from New York, i do not see Tarom coming back to North America unless another airline decides to establish non-stop flights with Romania. In that case, Tarom may codeshare on the route, but nothing more.
It will be interesting how Malev react to these unfolding events.

Jump to postMariner, When talking about the ATRs, i am extending to the dicussion of Tarom possibly replacing that aircraft type with ERJs or CRJs. As for the A318, the cost of purchasing one of those planes is about 40 million USD. Meanwhile the Boeing 717 is about 5 to 10 million USD cheaper. In the case of T...
Jump to postI remember we were discussing the possibility of the New York route being terminated, and unfortunately this was confirmed not long ago.

Jump to postI am really dissapointed with this announcement coming from Tarom. Its an established fact that the Airbus 318 is an overpriced plane, and the only argument to purchase such a plane is cominality with the rest of the fleet, to support the low-yeilding routes that couldnt be flown by the A319 or A320...

Jump to postSince Switzerland is not in the European Union, what you states is a possibility, but i somehow doubt it. I think JAT will be getting another Boeing 737-400 soon. I posted the news about the new low cost carrier and the planned plane deliveries to JAT about two weeks ago.
