Jat Introduces Daily Flights to Northern Germany

Beginning Thursday, November 23, 2006, Jat is introducing a regular line between Belgrade and Hamburg. The national air company aircraft on this line will fly three times a week – on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. In addition to the current four weekly flights to Berlin, this Jat’s latest addition provides for a connection with northern Germany every day of the week. On the days reserved for the Berlin flights – Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays – buses will be used to connect Tegel airport in Berlin with Hamburg and Hanover, while on the days reserved for the Hamburg flights buses will await passengers to take them to Berlin and Hanover.

Along with the existing two direct bus transfers connecting Berlin with Hamburg, that is with Hanover, Wolfsburg and Braunschweig, Jat has wrought an arrangement enabling passengers from these northern German cities to travel to Belgrade and further on to Podgorica, Tivat, Skoplje, Sarajevo and other cities in the region in the shortest possible time, in the most favorable and safe manner and on the day most convenient for them.

Special buses will carry passengers directly to and from the airport where Jat staff will receive and see them off. The bus drivers will maintain continuous communication with Jat staff so that passengers will be accorded Jat’s full attention throughout the trip to these three cities in northern Germany.

Also beginning November 23 and in cooperation with the Emirates air company, Jat is introducing the most favorable connection for all passengers from Serbia and the region traveling to New York and further on to other destinations in America.

Jat has been flying to Hamburg since 1972. It was in June of that year that regular charter flights were introduced for Germany – first to Düsseldorf and then later on to Hamburg and Stuttgart. These lines had all the characteristics of a regular line and were maintained almost through the end of 1991. In 1996, and then from 2000 to 2002, Jat has resumed flights to Hamburg, but this time as regular flights. During the period when it was not maintaining these flights, Jat’s Hamburg office directed passengers from this part of northern Germany to use the railroad and bus connections to reach Belgrade via Berlin and vice-versa.
