Italian budget airline Wind Jet will launch regular flights from Serbia’s city of Nis to Italy's Bologna.

Representatives of the Nis Airport Konstantin Veliki and the city signed on Wednesday a contract with the Italian company on the opening of Nis-Bologna line as of 25 December.

Nis's mayor Milos Simonovic said that during the winter the company will fly on Fridays while a Monday flight will be added in the summer schedule

Wind Jet said they were unable to stipulate the prices yet.

"Talks with Nis representatives in order to define the price are ongoing. It will depend on the commercialisation of this summer, the interests of passengers and travel agencies. We are a low cost company after all and will begin with us the lowest possible prices," Wind Jet Commercial Director Massimo Polimeni said.

The arrival of budget airlines in Nis became possible after Serbia's parliament ratified the Open Sky agreement  and after the national carrier Jat Airways dropped its Nis-Zurich route.

The city of Nis has invested around one million euros this year into the airport Konstantin Veliki. Simonovic said that airport representatives are continuing talks with representatives of other airline companies such as Montenegro Airlines and Jat Airways, on the possibilities of opening new routes.
