Speaking to “Cord” magazine, Ms Csaba noted, “Our trade colleagues, here at the Embassy and at our ministry in Ottawa, work with many enterprises from Canada and local partners in Serbia to develop stronger economic ties between our countries, and we hope to see more companies flying here for business. Maybe even with a direct flight from Toronto one of these days”. The Ambassador previously noted both sides were working on the introduction of flights between the two countries and said services would likely commence in 2020. The Canadian Embassy has held talks with Air Serbia over the past two years concerning flights between Belgrade and Toronto to gauge the company’s interest, while Toronto’s Pearson Airport confirmed it held talks with the Serbian carrier in the past as well. However, since then, a Canadian carrier is believed to have expressed interest in serving Belgrade as Air Serbia has put a greater focus on its short haul operations. "The Air Service Agreement between Serbia and Canada has been signed and it allows us to advance the process of launching flights between Belgrade and Toronto. There is a large Serbian diaspora in Canada, but these flights would also be very useful for the business community”, Ms Csaba said. Belgrade Airport’s operator VINCI noted last year it was "committed to opening new medium and long haul routes from Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport" in the near future. However, it is yet to deliver on that promise. Flights between Serbia and Canada were last operated just over a decade ago by leisure carrier Skyservice, which has since gone bankrupt. During the 1970s and 1980s, JAT Yugoslav Airlines maintained services from Belgrade to Toronto and Montreal. Presently, Zagreb is the only city in the former Yugoslavia linked to Canada though Air Transat’s and Air Canada Rouge’s nonstop seasonal summer flights from Toronto. _____ _____ https://www.exyuaviation.com/2020/02/canadian-envoy-hints-at-toronto.html?m=1 Shared via the Google app <https://itunes.apple.com/app/google/id284815942> Sent from my iPhone -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SERBIAN NEWS NETWORK" group.
