Srpska nacionalna avio-kompanija na prvom mestu po broju letova u regionu
ER SRBIJA I U AVGUSTU PREVEZLA VIŠE OD 400 HILJADA PUTNIKA
Er Srbija je tokom avgusta, drugi mesec zaredom, uspela da preveze više od 400 hiljada putnika preko matičnog aerodroma u Beogradu i vazdušnih luka u Nišu i Kraljevu. To je najveći broj prevezenih putnika tokom tog meseca još od 2013. godine, od kada kompanija posluje pod današnjim imenom. Broj putnika povećan je za 38 odsto u odnosu na isti mesec 2021. godine, odnosno za dva odsto u odnosu na avgust rekordne pretpandemijske 2019. godine. Dobre rezultate postigao je čarter prevoz, u okviru kojeg je prevezeno skoro 90 hiljada putnika. Pored čarter letova, tokom avgusta zabeleženo je i snažno kretanje dijaspore iz Srbije i regiona, što je rezultiralo porastom broja prevezenih putnika na rutama ka Zapadnoj Evropi. Najveći rast od 290% beleži Rim, posle kojeg slede Milano sa 224%, Štutgart sa 208%, Diseldorf sa 140% i London sa 129%.
Srpska nacionalna avio-kompanija procenjuje da će broj njenih putnika u avgustu, slično kao i u julu, činiti preko 55 odsto od ukupnog broja putnika koji su putovali preko Aerodroma Nikola Tesla Beograd.
„Tokom avgusta zauzeli smo prvo mesto u širem regionu Balkana kada je reč o nedeljnom broju obavljenih letova. Putnici prepoznaju pogodnosti koje im omogućava naša mreža destinacija i brojne frekvencije tokom letnje sezone i nastavljaju da nam pružaju poverenje na čemu smo im izuzetno zahvalni. Uvereni smo da će se trend rasta broja putnika na letovima naše kompanije nastaviti i u narednom periodu. Sve pomenuto nas motiviše da nastavimo sa unapređivanjem ponude, šireći je novim, atraktivnim destinacijama,“ izjavila je Maša Vasović, viša menadžerka za upravljanje prihodima Er Srbije.
Ovog leta, nacionalni avio-prevoznik leti sa čak 15 aerodroma u zemljama bivše Jugoslavije, što je ranije bio slučaj jedino sa njegovim prethodnikom, kompanijom JAT. Saobraćaj se u regionu najviše odvijao ka Tivtu i Podgorici, zatim Ljubljani i Skoplju, a nešto manji broj letova realizovan je ka Hrvatskoj i Bosni i Hercegovini. Rast broja prevezenih putnika, u odnosu na isti mesec prethodne godine, zabeležen je i ka Sofiji (172%) i Bukureštu (80%).
Za Er Srbiju region Balkana, povezivanje balkanskih zemalja i mobilnost njihovih stanovnika od izuzetne je važnosti. U skladu sa tim, nacionalna avio-kompanija je aktivno učestvovala na nedavnom događaju koji je u Beogradu organizovan u okviru inicijative „Otvoreni Balkan“.
Serbian national airline holds first place in terms of the number of flights in region
AIR SERBIA CARRIES MORE THAN 400 THOUSAND PASSENGERS IN AUGUST
During August, Air Serbia carried more than 400 thousand passengers through its hub in Belgrade and the airports in Niš and Kraljevo. This is the highest number of passengers in August since 2013 when the company began operating under its current name. The number of passengers increased by 38 percent compared to the same month in 2021, or by 2 percent, compared to the record-setting pre-pandemic August 2019. Charter flights had good results, with almost 90 thousand passengers carried. In addition to charters, in August, there was also a major movement of diaspora from Serbia and the region, resulting increase in the total number of passengers carried on routes to West Europe. The highest growth of 290% was recorded in Rome, followed by Milan with 224%, Stuttgart with 208%, Dusseldorf with 140%, and London with 129%.
The Serbian national airline estimates that the number of its passengers in August, similar to July, will make up over 55 percent of the total number of passengers who travelled through Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport.
“Last month we achieved first place in the Balkan region in terms of flights operated on a weekly level. Passengers recognize the benefits offered by our network of destinations and high flight frequency during the summer season and continue to grant us their trust, and we are immensely grateful. We are convinced that the trend of growth of passenger numbers on flights of our company will continue in the coming period as well. All of that motivates us to continue improving our offer, by expanding it with new, attractive destinations,” stated Maša Vasović, Head of Revenue Management, Air Serbia.
This summer, the national airline operates flights from 15 airports in countries of former Yugoslavia, which was previously only the case with its predecessor, JAT. The greatest frequency of flights in the region was to Tivat and Podgorica, followed by Ljubljana and Skopje, while fewer flights were operated to Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The growth of passenger traffic, compared to the same month of last year, was also observed on flights to Sofia (172%) and Bucharest (80%).
The Balkans region, as well as connecting Balkan countries and mobility of their citizens, are of exceptional importance to Air Serbia. In line with that, the national airline actively participated in the recent event in Belgrade organized as a part of the “Open Balkan” initiative.
