Belgrade expects 2.7 million passengers

Belgrade Airport ends 2010 on a high
Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport has announced that with just over a week to go until 2010 becomes history, it expects to handle 2.7 million passengers, the record number of passengers since 1990. Thus, the airport expects to end 2010 with a 14% passenger increase. December has been particularly strong for the airport, with a recorded increase of 30% compared to the same month last year. “In 2010 we handled more passengers, more aircraft and have recorded a better financial performance”, the airport’s director Velimir Radosavljević told the Serbian media over the weekend. He revealed that from January 1 the airport will be decreasing handling fees by 7% for all carriers.

Several new routes have already been announced from Belgrade in 2011. Wizz Air will commence flights to Gothenburg, Stockholm, Charleroi, Eindhoven and Memmingen. airBaltic will resume flights from Riga on March 27 while Albanian Airlines has announced it will commence services from Tirana to Belgrade in 2011. Although planed for January 13, Jat Airways is unlikely to commence flights from Belgrade to Portorož due to low interest.
