Ermal Muji August 30, 2023 17:57

The Serbian airline Air Serbia flew to Barcelona nine times a week during the summer season. If you thought that this was only done seasonally in the summer, you are wrong. The Serbian national carrier is also increasing its flights in winter, with nine weekly flights to transport passengers from Belgrade to Barcelona. The Serbian airline Air Serbia was able to build up an excellent flight frequency between Belgrade and Barcelona during the summer season. The airline flew to the Spanish city as many as nine times a week. However, Air Serbia recently announced that the number of weekly flights will be nine in winter as well. From October 29, the first day of the winter season, the airline will operate nine weekly flights to Barcelona, ​​as the Ex-Yu Aviation News portal discusses. However, the airline is not the undisputed option for reaching Barcelona from Belgrade. Wizz Air is the direct competitor of the Serbian national airline, and both airlines will operate the route between Belgrade and Barcelona.

Belgrade Airport can continue its successful streak in passenger numbers. This is evident from the data finally published for the month of July, which make it the most successful month of all time. Belgrade Airport, also known as BEG, was able to continue its successful streak this July, as it has done throughout the year. Serbia's airport was able to close the busiest July in history, which is hardly surprising with passenger numbers of 905.071. The end of the month in terms of passenger numbers exceeded that of last year by 27 percent, as the portal Ex-Yu Aviation News confirms. In relation to the pre-Corona year 2019, Nikola Tesla Airport was also able to record an enormous increase of over 20 percent.

Lufthansa: City Airlines still on hold

Amely Mizzi August 30, 2023 09:09

The youngest Lufthansa offshoot, City Airlines, has taken delivery of the first aircraft, but has not yet started flight operations. This could remain the case for some time. According to a report in Handelsblatt, the new company is suffering from an acute shortage of pilots and aircraft. This has led to the company no longer being able to keep to the original schedule. The first Airbus A319, D-AILX, was recently registered at the new AOC, but there is still no specific date for the first commercial flight of the Cityline clone.

Virgin Australia allows luggage to be tracked via an app

Amely Mizzi August 30, 2023 08:39

After around two years of development, the airline Virgin Australia has launched a new smartphone tool that will enable passengers to track their luggage. This was tested from May 2023 and has now been rolled out generally. Initially, the new service will be available on around two-thirds of the domestic network. It is still largely unavailable on international flights. Passengers will receive notifications about the current location of their suitcases via the carrier's app. Passengers will also be informed in this way about the respective collection belt. Virgin Australia admits that while this tool cannot completely rule out the loss of luggage, it should be able to make nervous passengers a little more relaxed. The carrier currently has a loss or misrouting rate of 1,5 items per 1.000 passengers. "We know the risk of lost luggage is a concern for travellers around the world and we expect today's announcement will give many guests the peace of mind of knowing where their luggage is at every step of the journey," said Paul Jones, Chief Customer and Digital Officer of the Virgin Australia Group. Competitor Qantas has already announced that it will make a similar tool available in the app by the end of this year.

Iraqi Airways has picked up the last Airbus A220-300 for the time being

Amely Mizzi August 30, 2023 07:30

Iraqi Airways recently took delivery of its fifth Airbus A220-300. The aircraft, registered YI-ARH, is the last unit of this order for now. The jet was transferred from Mirabel to Baghdad via Oslo. In December 2013, the Iraqi carrier decided to order five aircraft, which were then still marketed as Bombardier CS-300s. It currently holds eleven options for this aircraft type. These have not yet been exercised, so it is possible that more A220-300s could be sold to Baghdad. Bombardier sold the majority of the C-Series program to Airbus in 2017. Less than a year later, the Europeans decided that this series would now be marketed as the A220. The Canadian company is no longer involved in what is now Airbus Canada. Iraqi Airways took delivery of the five A220-300s between November 2021 and the end of August 2023. The introduction into service has not been entirely problem-free, as it was only in May 2023 that Iraq ordered a temporary flight ban due to problems with the PW1500G engines. This has since been lifted, but to date only the YI-ARE and the YI-ARF have been brought back into scheduled flight operations.
