Sep 18, 2008 (newstodate): Spiralling fuel costs are forcing Serbia's ailing carrier JAT to cut down on flights and aircraft.
Regardless of the outcome of the current privatisation tender for 51 percent of the stake in the airline, JAT has announced it will leave more traffic to code-share partners, and may retreat to operating only nine of the current total of 15 aircraft in the fleet.
The troubled carrier will also reduce the number of offices abroad from 49 to 27 from October 1, 2008.
