So what’s in it for Air Serbia and JetBlue passengers? Let’s find out a little more about this latest aviation news.
What is The Codeshare Agreement About?
From July 26th onwards the two airlines will be both selling tickets for a selection of destinations. More specifically JetBlue will be placing its airline code, B6, on flights to Serbia from the US operated by Air Serbia along with a selection of other intraeuropean flights.
On the other hand Air Serbia will be doing the same by placing its own airline code, JU, on a selection of flights within the US served by JetBlue.
What Will Change For Air Serbia and JetBlue Passengers?
Passengers will now be able to purchase Air Serbia operated flights on the JetBlue site and viceversa. Therefore if you are transiting from one airline to the other you’ll have a more streamlined and seamless experience thanks to this new codeshare agreement.
Which US Destinations Does Air Serbia Serve?
Which routes can US JetBlue passengers book on Air Serbia flying to eastern Europe taking advantage of this new codeshare agreement?
