Emil Delibashev, British Airways’ commercial manager Balkans, said:
“The decision to suspend flights between Belgrade and London has been a difficult one to make. However, the route is not making a profitable contribution to our business and we are unable to sustain it.”
“We thank those customers to have travelled with us for their support.”

If there are seven flights per week between Belgrade and London why not reducing it in to 3 flights rather then suspend all flights.

Why sell tenners for fivers? If it's not making any money then look to use the aircraft and Heathrow slots for something which will.

If it isn't making money why fly it at all, BA are a business (a loss making one at that)

Why suspend it? Even with WizzAir London-Belgarde flights being introduced from June 2010, there are always lots of customers who prefer to fly from Heathrow rather than Luton and with a reputable airline too. Reducing the numbers of flights to 3-4 a week would be a better idea.

I totally agree, I fly BA all the time to Belgrade and to be honest out of my last 20 flights they have only been about 2/3 flights that were not full ok business class is never full. Like the other suggestions why not reduce the flights to 3 per week or 1 every 3 days to maximise the passengers, make the flight an afternoon or teatime flight so any passengers who come from outside London or outside of the UK will not have to stay in a hotel on the night before. I would pay alittle more for the quality of service they offer anyway, I just wonder if there is more to this ?
