Mar 27, 2006 (newstodate): JAT's wish to obtain a US approval to add flights from Belgrade to NEw York from this summer hinges on a Category 1-upgrade by the American FAA.
One alternative, however, is for JAT to cooperate with a carrier from Category 1 country.
Sources earlier indicated that JAT might cooperate with Uzbekistan Hava Yollari, but the THY Turk Hava Yollary has emerged as a viable alternative.
In repeated attempts by newstodate to verify Uzbekistan Hava Yollary as the potential partner to JAT, the US FAA communications spokesman has invariably misread this as "Turkish Hava Yollari", indirectly confirming the relation.
A US congressman is currently in Belgrade to discuss issues of mutual interest to the two countries with the Serb goernment, indicating a review of Serbia's current Category 2 rating that will not allow a Serb carrier to launch a new route into the USA.
