The Jat Airway CEO said that the company’s chief priority was to have the tender called in March, or April at the latest. That way, Jat would receive fresh capital this year to spend both on the revamping its fleet and for new planes, which the company needs, given the forecast rise in traffic expected in the next few years, he said. Vlaisavljević said that Jat Airways expected over 1.5 million customers this year.
“2008 should be our busiest year since 1990, so it’s completely reasonable to get a new strategic partner as soon as possible,” stressed the company CEO. Deputy Economy and Regional Development Minister Nebojša Ćirić said a few days ago that the tender would be called in March or April. The EU recently advised the government to sell Jat to a “European carrier.” (b92.net)
