I'm wondering what journo means by
Most of JAT Airways' 16 aircraft are outdated and the company has not had the financial means to buy new planes.
JAT fleet is ATR42/72 and 737-300/400. Like many other airlines in Europe and elsewhere.
JAT Airways are nice people to deal with, although a bit buerocratic.

met some people there who were interested in taking over the facilities or putting together a joint venture with them but were hamstrung by the bureaucrats and government officials who were more interested in their 'kickback' than trying to rescue the facility
Isn't that the truth ASFKAP.. usually that's the point of issue that kills many a project. :{

Welcome to Eastern Europe.
Hmmm, sounds like a sub-service carrier might be in the cards....one that knows which palms to grease, and when.:}

Welcome to Eastern Europe.
Glass houses and stones mate? :ooh:
It seems that nothing changed. The only flight operated today is a BEG-LHR with an Aviogenex B732.

JAT Airways said Friday it will resume flights later in the day after a deal was reached with a maintenance company over unpaid bills. :)

Charlie - JAT is essentially part of the Serbian state. Furthermore, as Serbia is not a member of the EU, the EU rules over state subsidies do not apply.

Interesting that Macedonian Airlines, who were supposed to be taken over by JAT, have now lost their AOC and are also grounded.
