NEWS FLASH
Norwegian Air Shuttle’s flights from Belgrade to Oslo have begun making unscheduled stops at Krakow Airport. Since July 4, all inbound services on the route have included a stopover in the Polish city. Although the airline has not provided an official explanation, the detour could be related to refuelling, amid ongoing concerns surrounding Belgrade Airport’s fuel supplier, NIS, which is majority-owned by Russia’s Gazprom and is under threat of US-imposed sanctions. Although a workaround has been implemented allowing refuelling operations at Belgrade to continue uninterrupted, the arrangement has reportedly caused unease among some carriers. EX-YU Aviation News reached out to Norwegian for comment. The airline declined to address the Krakow stopovers directly, stating only, “We will not start making stops in Krakow for flights to/from Belgrade”. This summer, Norwegian is maintaining four weekly flights on the Oslo – Belgrade route. It competes with Air Serbia, which operates six weekly rotations between the two capitals. In 2024, 102.338 passengers flew between the two cities with the two carriers.
