On Thursday, April 15^th , somewhat after 20.00 hours, a Spanish airliner’s scheduled flight took off from the airport “Nikola Tesla” for the first time in the airport’s history. Spanair will fly from Barcelona to Belgrade on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, on Airbus A-320 with 156 seats. Promo airfairs from the flight between Belgrade and Barcelona, taxes excluded, start at EUR 75. The flight tickets can be obtained through travel agents in Serbia or via the airliner website. The Spanish airliner, Spanair, is not a low-cost company, but if the tickets are purchased at certain times, the cost can be quite low so that Spanair applies the same rule that the cheapest fares should be booked a few months ahead. The first Spanair plane to Belgrade brought 55 passengers, mostly visitors, the Spanish residents. Except the airliner’s Presidentm Ferran Soriano (43), one of the youngest businessmen in such high office, there was also Pasqual Maragall on board the plane, one of the most prominent Catalan politicians in the last decades. Spanair’s fleet includes 36 planes, and it transported over eight million passengers generating EUR 670 M in 2009. Spanair employs 3,160 people and it is a member of Star Alliance, headed by the German airliner Lufthansa.
