Dragi gosti,
Dear Guests,
Jun je poseban mesec za Er Srbiju zato što proslavljamo dva važ- na jubileja – 90. rođendan naše kompanije 17. juna, kao i prvu godiš�- njicu leta za Nujork 23. juna. Prošlo je 90 godina od formiranja našeg prethodnika, avio-pioni- ra Aeroput iz 1927. godine, ali i dalje negujemo isti cilj - da našim go- stima bude što udobnije. Naša prva ruta koja je povezala Beograd i Zagreb izrasla je u mrežu sačinjenu od 42 destinacije, koja doseže preko Atlantika do Njujorka, do kog letimo do pet puta nedeljno na našem erbasu A330. Povrh toga, broj putnika koji lete s nama rastao je eksponenci- jalno od 1.300 u prvoj godini postojanja Aeroputa do 2,62 miliona u 2016. Taj broj i dalje raste, i u prvom kvartalu ove godine sa nama je letelo blizu 454.000 putnika, što je osam procenata više u odnosu na isti period prošle godine. Sigurni smo da će ovaj broj nastaviti da raste kako dalje razvija- mo naše proizvode i usluge i širimo našu mrežu. S tim u vezi, sa velikim zadovoljstvom mogu da najavim da će Er Srbija od 1. juna leteti za Veneciju, povezujući glavni grad Srbije i ču- veni Grad na vodi četiri puta nedeljno. Venecija je naša treća desti- nacija u Italiji, posle Milana i Rima. Ova destinacija pruža vam mno- go toga, možete da istražujete bogato kulturno nasleđe ili samo da u ovom prelepom gradu napravite predah tokom vikenda. Što se tiče drugih noviteta, trenutno renoviramo naše kabine na avionima A319 i A320 novim rekaro BL3520 sedištima. Ova nagrađivana ergonomska sedišta dizajnirana su tako da pruže vi- še mesta i omoguće veći smeštajni kapacitet na našim regionalnim i evropskim letovima. Osim toga, u ovom izdanju magazina Elevate otkrićete neve- rovatno delo podvodnog fotografa Ivane Orlović Kranjc, koja je na- pravila i prelepu fotografiju na naslovnoj strani, čitaćete o Hajlajnu, jedinstvenom parku na Menhetnu, saznaćete sve o prirodnom feno-� menu na reci Tisi i još mnogo toga. Uskoro ćemo izdati i specijalno izdanje magazina Elevate posve- ćeno 90. rođendanu koje ćete vrlo brzo imati priliku da čitate. Nadam se da ćete imati udoban let sa Er Srbijom i da ćete na- staviti da putujete s nama još mnogo godina.
June is a very special month for Air Serbia as we are celebrating two important milestones - our 90th anniversary on 17 June and the first birthday of our New York flights on 23 June. 90 years have passed since the formation of our predecessor, Aeroput, in 1927, but our goal of making travel more convenient for our guests has remained the same. Our first air link, connecting Belgrade to Zagreb, has grown into a network of 42 destinations that reaches all the way across the Atlantic to New York, where we fly up to five times weekly on our flagship Airbus A330. On top of that, the number of travellers that fly with us has risen exponentially from 1,300 in Aeroput’s first year of operation, to 2.62 million in 2016. That number is still growing and in the first quarter of this year, we flew close to 454,000 passengers, which is 8% more than in the corresponding period last year. We are confident this number will continue to increase as we develop our products and services even further and widen our network reach. On that note, I’m happy to announce that Air Serbia will launch flights to Venice on 1 June, connecting the Serbian capital and the famous City of Water four times per week. Venice is our third destination in Italy after Milan and Rome and has plenty to offer, whether you’re looking to explore its rich cultural heritage or just want a quick weekend break to a beautiful city. In other news, we are currently renovating our cabins on the A319 and A320 fleet with new Recaro BL3520 seats. These ergonomic, award- winning seats have been designed to provide more living space and will enable us to increase the seating capacity on our regional and European routes. Moreover, inside this edition of Elevate you can explore the work of underwater photographer Ivana Orlović Kranjc, who took the stunning image on the cover, read about the High Line railroad park in Manhattan, and learn about the beautiful natural phenomenon that takes place on the River Tisa every year, plus much more. We will also shortly be publishing a dedicated special edition of Elevate to celebrate our 90th anniversary that you can look forward to reading soon. I hope you have a pleasant journey with Air Serbia and continue to travel with us for many years to come.
