Is Jat Airways reliable?

Is Jat Airways reliable? - Crop unrecognizable office worker standing with papers in hand

I'm thinking about flying from Zurich (Switzerland) to Belgrade (Serbia). The Serbian national airways offers some good deals, but some searching revealed that not all customers were really satisfied with Jat Airways. Especially, the flights were late and the service wasn't good and the planes were old.

So I have doubts if it is a really good choice. Are there any more reliable references that tell me if Jat Airways is a good choice?



Best Answer

Serbians say that JAT stands for "Joke About Time"... but their on-time statistics are not so different than major European airlines (73% on time vs 75% for BA/AF/LH).

JAT has been through awful times financially, cabin interiors are a bit scruffy, and their network is 1/10th of what it used to be, but the airline is safe. No fatalities since 1973.

Service was OK the few times I flew them -- my expectations were low since I mostly fly on U.S. carriers.

If getting from point A to B safely is your main concern, I would not hesitate to fly JAT... but then, if Swiss flies your route for the same price, I'd pick Swiss.
