Jat suspends Niš flights

Niš Airport passenger terminal
Jat will be suspending its 2 weekly flights from Serbia’s third largest city, Niš, to Zurich which was the only destination Jat served from the city. The flights will be discontinued from the winter season, starting October 25. Jat has endured much criticism for not investing more in its flights from Niš. In 2007, under political and public pressure, the airline launched several services from Niš, including Vienna and Dusseldorf, all of which barely secured a handful of passengers. Flights were, as predicted, cancelled soon after. A Jat spokesperson said that the airline will introduce new flights to Niš from the 2010 summer season if there is financial justification for it.

Niš, located in Serbia’s east reopened its airport, Constantine the Great in 2004, after a passenger terminal was built and the area was cleared of mine bombs. The airport has since struggled to attract airlines, blaming Jat for its misfortunes. An economic development forum which begins today in Niš is expected to address the issue of air transportation in the city. Niš, which has over 250.000 citizens lacks foreign investment
