Jat reschedules Dubai flights

To Dubai from February 09
Jat Airways has moved forward the launch of its Belgrade – Dubai service as reported on Friday. The flights were to be launched on April 01 and substitute the existing Belgrade – Abu Dhabi service. The flights to the capital of the United Arab Emirates are to be terminated on February 04. This would have left an almost 2 month gap between the termination of the Abu Dhabi flights and the launch of Dubai. As a result, Jat will now begin services to Dubai on February 09. There will only be one weekly flight until April 01 when another is to be added. On May 10, a third weekly flights will commence. It has also been revealed to EX-YU Aviation that a fourth weekly flight will be added in June if preliminary bookings show a need for it. The flight up until April will operate with a Boeing B737-300 while the rest will operate with the airline’s new B737-700, if the order for the aircraft is finalised within the next month.

Bookings and reservation for the new Dubai service begin today. With the launch of the new flights, Jat ticks off one of its aims from its 2010 recovery programme. Jat is the only EX-YU airline to offer flights to Dubai. The only two other Middle Eastern destinations in its network are Tel Aviv and Larnaca.
