Yugoslav Air becomes JAT Airways
BELGRADE Yugoslav Airlines, or JAT - the national carrier of the former Yugoslavia - has changed its name into JAT Airways, the company's general manager said Thursday.
In the future, the letters JAT will no longer be considered an acronym, and "Yugoslav" will be dropped from the company name.
The move comes more than one month after the name Yugoslavia was dropped and a new state named after its two republics, Serbia and Montenegro, was created.
JAT's general manager, Predrag Vujovic, told the Beta news agency that the company's new name would become official at the next session of the managing board.
