About: Air transport in Yugoslavia

An Entity of Type: Whole100003553, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

This article provides an overview of air transport in Yugoslavia, a country in the Balkans that existed from 1918 until its dissolution in the 1990s. Public air transport in the interwar period was organised by privately owned Aeroput. The company's post-war operations were suspended due to nationalization and near total fleet destruction during the war. The first plan for the post-war public air transport reconstruction was introduced by the Commission for the Economic Reconstruction on 28 December 1944. The plan envisaged the national network which would include Belgrade, Zagreb, Ljubljana, Sarajevo, Titograd, Skopje, Novi Sad, Kraljevo, Niš, Borovo, Rijeka, Zadar, Split, Dubrovnik, Banja Luka, Mostar, Maribor and Trieste.

  • This article provides an overview of air transport in Yugoslavia, a country in the Balkans that existed from 1918 until its dissolution in the 1990s. Public air transport in the interwar period was organised by privately owned Aeroput. The company's post-war operations were suspended due to nationalization and near total fleet destruction during the war. The first plan for the post-war public air transport reconstruction was introduced by the Commission for the Economic Reconstruction on 28 December 1944. The plan envisaged the national network which would include Belgrade, Zagreb, Ljubljana, Sarajevo, Titograd, Skopje, Novi Sad, Kraljevo, Niš, Borovo, Rijeka, Zadar, Split, Dubrovnik, Banja Luka, Mostar, Maribor and Trieste. Initial charter public flights were organised by military planes while the first regular international line was introduced on 6 October 1945 between Belgrade and Prague. The initial public fleet was organised by 4 old German planes (Junkers Ju 52) and 4 Tukans purchased in France in 1945-46. In August 1945 Yugoslavia received 11 Soviet planes Lisunov-Li 2 but their usage was quickly discontinued in international and partially domestic transport due to concerns over inadequate safety. Yugoslavia therefore initiated purchase of 10 American excess and therefore cheap C-47 planes in 1946. However, as Yugoslavia at the time was still a close Soviet ally, the US rejected the proposal, pushing Yugoslavia to purchase three DC-3 in Belgium which will be the basic type of planes in Yugoslav public fleet all up until 1960's. Yugoslav national public transport air company JAT Airways was established in April 1947. (en)
