Balkans, Yugoslavia, Serbia...

[edit]

This article has the tendency to show how much the "famous" brand Balkan suffered because of Yugoslavia (I also removed an unsourced claim of "intense relief flights to save hunger in Montenegro" ???) and blames Yugoslav wars (yes, Bulgarian economy suffered, but because Serbia is in between Bulgaria and Western Europe, and the non-flight zone imposed over Yugoslavia made flights from Sofia to have to go around) however, and important, the article completely fails to mention a huge number of new Serbian (and Macedonian, Montenegrin, Bosnian and Kosovar) travellers that invaded Sofia airport during the decade long sanctions that forbitten the 1989 placed 9th biggest European carrier JAT to fly out of Serbia, and forbitted all foreign airlines to fly to any airport in Serbia, completelly destroying air transport there, so more than 10 million people that usually travelled from Belgrade during the 1990s travelled mostly from Sofia (Budapest also had its share). That was quite an unnexpected important fresh revenew back then completely ignored in the article. FkpCascais (talk) 08:45, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Renaming from TABSO to Balkan

[edit]

I have added a {{disputed-inline}} tag to the claim that the airline was renamed Balkan on 1 January 1968. The single reference I found (dated at March the same year) says it planned to have its name changed. Clearly, and inconsistency arose here. More sources are required.--Jetstreamer Talk 13:11, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
