The Allplane Podcast #46 - aviation in the Balkans, with Petar Vojinovic

Petar Vojinovic is the founder and CEO of Tango Six, Serbia’s main aviation media and events production company. In today’s episode he gives us an overview of the last 100 years of aviation in the Balkans, from the foundation of one of the first scheduled airlines in the world, to the interesting JAT airline of the Cold War era and all the way to the present.

Tune in for an in-depth conversation about aviation in one of Europe’s most fascinating regions!
