Yesterday saw the announcement by Etihad
Airways, national airline of the United Arab Emirates, of a potential
investment in struggling Serbian carrier Jat Airways.
Following the launch of Etihad’s daily service
to Belgrade which allows Jat Airways to put its JU airline code on the Etihad
flight will connect passengers in Serbia with a number of worldwide
destinations, including Australia, Asia and the Middle East.
Talk of a possible investment has been
floating around for a while and would make sense as the next step for both Jat
Airways to help relieve its financial issues, and for Etihad who looks to
increase its equity alliance.
Velibor Vukasinovic, JatAirways’ Chief Executive Officer, said: “It’s
our great pleasure to establish this cooperation between Etihad Airways and
JatAirways. We are honoured that Etihad Airways, the national airline of the
United Arab Emirates and one of the best companies in the world, has
established direct air traffic between Abu Dhabi and Belgrade.”
