Etihad Cancels Air Serbia A320neo Aircraft Order

This is crazy. As per Wikipedia Delta has roughly 160 widebodies in their fleet right now and Etihad must have thought at some point that they can just grow by roughly the size of Delta´s international operation in a limited amount of time. I guess they wanted to believe that or got well paid to make others believe...

This is a shame. Living in Belgrade Air Serbia is the only good option to travel directly to most places in EU. Their service is good, their lounge is one of the best business lounges in Europe when it comes to food and service, but their airplanes are getting extremely old and don't feel safe, especially flying in their ATR's.

The Air Serbia-hype is really over since they took of the real business class seats. Bye!

I wouldn't call Air Serbia's A320 and A319s old, they're only about 12-13. DL's A320 fleet has an average age of 23.4 years, with the oldest currently flying delivered in October 1990 to Northwest Airlines. 12-13 years is a fairly decent age, and can go another 5-10 without an issue.

Add Jet Airways from India to the list of "Etihad Airways Partner". This airline is also facing huge issues and have not paid salaries, debt and other operational costs.
Jet also has a Frequent Flyer programme whose fate is still unknown.
