NIKI Upgrades Vienna - Belgrade Link for the Winter

Austrian regional carrier NIKI is to increase links between Vienna and Belgrade this winter with eleven rather than six flights per week. The airline has revealed that it will offer two flights every weekday from the end of October rather than just one at present, with the single rotation on a Sunday continuing. A change of flight schedule from an afternoon to a morning and evening service will stimulate demand from the business market as well as offering leisure travellers wider travel options.

National carriers Austrian Airlines and JAT Airways already serve the route on a twice daily regularity or better, but NIKI has successfully penetrated the market with lesser frequency and holds a 30 per cent share of the 140,000 passenger O&D traffic during the past year with average fares around 20 per cent higher than its rivals. NIKI is currently the third largest operator on the route by demand, however, it is only just behind its rivals, with JAT Airways holding a 36 per cent share of traffic and Austrian Airlines 33 per cent.

Schedule:

HG8026 VIE0615 – 0715BEG E90 x67
HG8028 VIE1955 – 2055BEG E90 x6
