BELGRADE (Serbia), December 27 (SeeNews) – Flag carrier Air Serbia said it plans to amend the schedule of its flights connecting Belgrade to Prague and New York next year as part of a seasonal network adjustment.
The company plans to amend its Prague service on May 19 from a ten-per-week operation on an ATR-72 aircraft to a daily service, with five flights operated on a larger Airbus A319 aircraft, Air Serbia said in a statement earlier this week.
The change will result in providing increased comfort levels and more weekly seating capacity overall, the company said.
Air Serbia also intends to reduce the frequency of its New York flights to two from three weekly in the period between February 5 and March 19 to better reflect travel demand. The frequency will then be increased to six weekly flights during the peak season between June 18 and September 16, up from five previously.
In June 2016 Air Serbia launched a regular service between Belgrade and New York, the first direct flight connection between Serbia and the U.S. in 24 years. The route is serviced five times a week by a 254-seat Airbus A330 wide-body twin-engine jet airliner.
