n 2017, Air Serbia celebrated 90 years of civil avia- tion, exactly nine decades from the date its predecessor
prethodnika Aeroputa . Ovog meseca slavi se još jedna velika godišnjica, isto toliko godina od prvog leta koji je obavljen na liniji Beograd–Zagreb. Avion tipa potez 29-2, pod imenom Beograd , poleteo je liniji Beograd–Zagreb 15. februara 1928. u devet ujutru, pod komandom direktora Tadije Sondermajera i Vladi- mira Striževskog. Prvi putnici bili su, naravno, novina- ri i foto-reporteri. „Točkovi razbacuju blato na sve strane“, zabeležio je novinar Politike , „dok se mi penjemo i naš avion naginje po spirali, čini nam se da se ne naginjemo mi, nego kao da se nakrivio ceo Beograd, pa da hoće da se sruči u Savu“. Nakon dva sata leta po tmurnom vremenu avion je sleteo na aerodrom Borongaj prethodno napravivši ne- koliko krugova iznad Zagreba. Dočekali su ga građani i predstavnici vlasti, a istog dana u popodnevnim časovi- ma grupa zagrebačkih novinara doletela je u Beograd. Na liniji Beograd–Zagreb avioni Aeroputa su tokom prve godine leteli svakog dana, osim nedelje, sve do no- vembra, kada je, zbog zimskih uslova, avio-saobraćaj pre- kinut. I pored visoke cene karte i straha putnika od lete- nja, odziv je bio veći od očekivanog!
Aeroput was founded. This month the Serbian flag carrier is cel- ebrating another great anniversary - 90 years since its first flight was operated. The first promotional flight was conducted between Bel- grade and Zagreb on 15 th February 1928. The Potez 29/2 type air- craft, sporting the name “Beograd”, took to the skies at 9am, un- der the command of company director Tadije Sondermajer and Vladimir Striževski. The first passengers, of course, were journal- ists and photojournalists, with the five of them coming from the Belgrade media scene. “Wheels hurl mud in all directions,” noted Politika’s journal- ist, “as we climb and our plane leans into a spin, it seems to us that we have not tilted, but rather that the whole of Belgrade has slanted to the side and will plunge into the Sava.” After a two-hour flight through gloomy weather, the plane landed at Borongaj Airport, but not before making a couple of laps above Zagreb. It was greeted by a large number of citizens and representatives of the authorities, and that same afternoon saw a group of Zagreb journalists fly to Belgrade. During those first years Aeroput flew the Belgrade-Zagreb route every day except Sundays, all the way until November, when winter weather led to the suspension of air traffic. And despite the high price of tickets and passengers’fear of flying at the time, the response was greater than expected!
