THY stated couple of weeks ago that they will start to fly to twenty something new destinations in 2006 and Belgrade was one of them.
So I guess you are right.. :dance:
hakan, THY will open 23 new destinations. From what i'm told JAT's IST flights are not doing all that good. We will have to wait and see what will happen.
I'm not sure on the TAROM part. I thought that JAT will restart the OTP flights. I read that TAROM want to fly back to N/America and Beijing. But i don't think they will go back just yet. They want to do it with 2 A310's. That means they have to take a stop somewhere in Europe as the A310 cant make the distance......maybe if they leased aircraft, but still, there will be too much competition with JAT.
I can't comment on JAT's load to Istanbul, the Airporthaber-Turkish language aviation site- has today published the news about the start up schedule of THY for the new destinations in 2006. Belgrade flights will start in February 2006. 8)
I hope people start going to Belgrade again. It`s such a great place (or at least it was the nightclubs were amazing) I went on a TU-154 when I was fifteen years old, I think I was still shaking three days later! Delicious food though.

I heard it myself that TAROM is thinking to re-start some long-range routes especialy those to USA(in New York and Seattle region are lots of romanians) and Canada(Montreal was a former destination)
In the past those long range flights to Nord America and China were made with A310's so it would be easy to start operating again with those ones.
But we have to take in consider that curent TAROM jet fleet consist in Boeing's so choosing a Boeing long-range aircraft it's suitable too.

Thanks for the nice words for my home city!
Well yes the sad fact remains that other than the night clubs,music and food Belgrade is a not high standard European city.
Although,theese holiday days are starting to chear up Belgrade since it is all now in lights and christmas treese.
Everyone is most welcome to come for New Years on short notice!
Well so little airlines operta to my city who even though not suted for EU standards is a great city but poor people...
I saw the two TAROM A310s when I was in Bucharest last month. It was very sad to just see them standing there. They looked extremely dirty. No wonder I suppose, because they've been standing there for quite a while.

Serbia Montenegro seems to be advancing since the fall of Slobodan Milosevic. I hope that the goodness keeps coming too. Nice that the "Surcin" Airport is being re-constructed as it is offering tourists a good picture on their arrival of what SCG really is, nice, beautiful, modern. And now that JAT is changing it's image too, time to put the past behind and step into the furture.
Well now another airline is now in BEG and that is KLM.
AF and JU have each daily flights to CDG and that they codeshare each others flights, and we know that. Well KLM is codesharing the AF flights, along with JU.
KL2206 departs CDG at 9:35 and arrives in BEG at 11:50. KL2207 departs BEG at 12:40 and arrives back into CDG at 15:10. AF is flying the A318 to BEG, and all flights are daily.
I heard something of MAT to return their flights to BEG. The last time i knew they flew to BEG as a stop over while enroute to AMS and VIE.
Also, will JA (B&H Airlines) return back to BEG? I would like to see Adria back as well. And also OU would be nice to see in BEG.

You make it sound as though JAT is an aviation force. With one million passengers per year, they need to work on it and invest in it a little bit more before they reach the dizzy heights. I've also heard that Tarom will be taken over as soon as the privatisation process begins by its local low cost airline competitor. Now that will be a force in the region.
JAT is soon to expand it's service to N/America, and JAT will be one of the only airlines serving intercontinental flights in the Balkan region. And with them joining skyteam shortly.........
WE ARE ALL HOPING AND PRAYING that it will be cheaper for the people to leave and come to the balkan peninsula it does not matter who will carry the passengers but i would like it to be JAT. Serbia is an very important communication route for asia and western europe especially danube river and so on, which means like it or not that it will be a lot of freighttransports in the beginning and slowly belgrade and perhaps nis will expand with commercialflight as well. The world is not investing in serbia because the like us very much, they have other plans and serbia should be more flexible in all levels of communication and ride on the moneywave.

From the financial
Serbia has accumulated about €1.5 billion in foreign direct investments in 2005, the highest annual volume since the beginning of the country's move towards a market economy.
Turkish Airlines from January will start operating a probably code-share flight with JAT airways to Istanbul
the nightclubs were amazing) I went on a TU-154 when I was fifteen years old, I think I was still shaking three days later! Delicious food though.
