Kosovo’s Minister for Infrastructure, Arban Abrashi, said that services would commence in “record time” and would be operated by the Lufthansa Group.
Meanwhile, the US special envoy for the negotiations between Belgrade and Pristina, Richard Grenell, said, "We have an air agreement for the first flight in 21 years between Pristina and Belgrade".
Authorities from Serbia and Kosovo signed a US brokered “Belgrade - Pristina Special Air Route” (BPSAR) Letter of Intent in February, which foresees Eurowings starting operations between the two cities.
The main sticking points for the resumption of flights in the past, such as air traffic oversight and taxes, have been addressed in the document.
Under the agreement between the two sides, passengers flying from Belgrade to Pristina and vice versa will not use their passports for travel. Instead, they will use their National Identity Cards.
Furthermore, Kosovo passport holders will be able to transfer through Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport to onward destinations using their passports. Eurowings has been given the freedom to determine fares, select codeshare partners and the equipment it will use for the flights.
The Kosovo Civil Aviation Authority has previously confirmed that flightpaths used prior to the 1999 conflict will be utilised again, meaning there will be no need to fly over Macedonian airspace before entering either territory.
JAT Yugoslav Airlines was the last to operate scheduled flights between the two cities back in 1999.
