Twice in just a few weeks, two planes of different airlines had their windows cracked. How common are these accidents? Are these two related to each other? To whom citizens can complain
There was a serious incident on the Ryanair plane on the flight from Thessaloniki to Memmingen when the glass on the plane's window broke, and the air pulled out the man who was sitting by the window. A man from Serbia was held by his wife - so he wouldn't fall out of the plane. The injured is in the hospital, but his life is not in danger
Twelve people died after a plane crashed in Missouri. It was one of the deadliest skydiving accidents in the US in decades

The Directorate of Civil Aviation rejects claims that the new rulebook threatens Viz Air's operations in Serbia. The company, however, claims that due to the new rules, it could close its base in Belgrade, while employees fear that they will lose their jobs

The sky over Europe is once again becoming a luxury. More expensive tickets do not guarantee punctuality - at some European airports, every second flight is delayed, while prices skyrocket
The war in Iran has caused huge oil supply problems, and as a result jet fuel prices are skyrocketing. Airlines began canceling flights, withdrawing aircraft from the fleet and raising fares
The price of fuel for airplanes has increased by almost 100 percent in the last month, so this difference is expected to spill over to the price of air tickets. Airlines have the right to subsequently raise the price, the Law on Consumer Protection does not apply to them. This automatically affects travel arrangements that include air travel
The national airline "Air Serbia" had an all-female crew on an ATR type aircraft for the first time
Niš Airport records a decline in the number of passengers and flights, despite the opening of the new terminal building and announced subsidies. Whether that will change this year, with Irish airline Ryanair bringing back flights to Stockholm and Corfu and starting five weekly flights to Malta, remains to be seen.
"Konstantin the Great" airport had fewer passengers in October compared to the previous five months, while from January to the end of October 2024 there were about 76.000 fewer passengers compared to the same period last year. At the same time, cargo transportation recorded growth
Another incident involving a "Boeing" plane has put one of the leading aircraft manufacturers back in the public eye. The editor of the aviation portal "Tango Six" Petar Vojinović tells "Vreme" that although he is in the spotlight, it does not mean that the manufacturer is always responsible for every technical defect, no matter how dramatic it may be.
The President of the Freedom and Justice Party (SSP), Dragan Đilas, said that during nine of the 10 years, while Etihad was a partner of Air Serbia, a loss of 175 million euros was made. Through additional subsidies and recapitalization, Serbia provided 350 million euros, while Etihad earned tens of millions of euros annually.
Last year, the largest European airports also had enough time to find employees before the summer season for the physical maintenance of aircraft and other similar jobs, but they did not succeed. This caused unprecedented queues, mountains of luggage and passenger frustration. In short, the same thing we saw two weeks ago in Belgrade
Airlines, often rightly, point the finger at airports and air traffic control for the problems they are experiencing. Back in May, British Airways criticized Heathrow Airport for its lack of ground staff. Lufthansa lays the blame on the following factors: air traffic controller strikes, summer storms and, in particular, the increased number of reports of employee illnesses from the corona virus. Because employees in the aviation industry are also people, due to the nature of their work they will get infected more often and the quarantine lasts just as long for them as well
The US and the EU have approved arms deliveries to Ukraine. Sanctions against Russia have brought down the ruble. On the front, Russian troops are acting aimlessly. Anti-war demonstrations spread to Russian cities. Putin reminded the world that Russia is a nuclear power. On Monday between 8 and 9 in the morning, Rasha Tudej showed a documentary about the Second World War emphasizing the double game of the Western allies in relation to the USSR. Alcohol produced in Russia is withdrawn from sale in the USA and Canada
In response to the escalation of the invasion of Ukraine, Western countries introduced a "nuclear" economic measure: the exclusion of certain Russian banks from the SWIFT system. In addition, the West closed the airspace for Russian airlines and banned the operation of state media
