The Greek company Aegean Airlines will increase its frequencies to a number of destinations in the former Yugoslavia next year. The carrier will operate more flights from its Athens headquarters to Belgrade, Dubrovnik, Skopje and Split, and will bring forward the resumption of its seasonal service to Ljubljana, launched this year. Additionally, the carrier is expected to continue operating its seventh freedom flights between Skopje and Sarajevo. “We continue to seek new connectivity in the Balkan region. Through our high-quality services, we will contribute to interstate mobility and trade relations,” said Roland Jaggi, Chief Commercial Officer of Aegean.
Starting June 1, Aegean is increasing its frequencies between Athens and Belgrade from four to six per week, with new departures added on Thursdays and Saturdays. All flights will be maintained with the Airbus A320 aircraft. To Dubrovnik, the Greek airline will also operate six weekly flights instead of four during the peak summer period. New departures have been added on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, with the airline deploying its A320s on the route. Split will see an additional weekly rotation with three weekly flights instead of two. A new service will be added on Monday with the A320 fleet.
The airline will maintain six weekly rotations between Athens and Skopje, compared to three per week which was maintained for most of summer 2023. In addition, its new service between Skopje and Sarajevo will continue to operate three times per week, although tickets are not yet on sale for next summer. Seasonal flights to Ljubljana will be reinstated on April 5, 2024 and will continue to operate twice a week. There have been no changes to the airline’s planned operations to Zagreb and Podgorica, which will be maintained three and twice a week, respectively. Aegean Airlines is yet to reveal any new destinations for 2024, giving hope to other cities in the former Yugoslavia still seeking connectivity with Athens that they may be included in Aegean’s route range.
