Apr 11, 2014 (newstodate): FAA has updated its International Aviation Safety Assessment on April 9, 2014 - but that did not bring comfort to Serbia.
Serbia remains rated in Category II, thus barred from starting flights into the USA.
Serbia was downgraded from Category 1 in 2002 barring any service by a Serbia-registered aircraft carrier into North American airports, and the country has since made several unsuccessful attempts to regain its position that will allow JAT to launch flights on routes to the USA.
Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Transportation also denied Air Serbia's request for approval of its code-share with Etihad on Etihad's flights to the USA, arguing that it makes no sense to transport passengers from Serbia to Abu Dhabi for onward flights by Etihad to the USA.
