Everything about the Balkans as the region is known historically, or Southeast Europe, as is the more precise geographical term.

With it Belgrade claims part of Istanbul's role as a transport hub of the region. Now there's a direct connection to China from the heart of the Balkan peninsula.

It's good to have an alternative if travelling from Sofia, let's say. Checked the prices - they are similar to the Turkish airlines' ones.

China is a destination I'm certainly not interested in, but I guess one could consider it as a hub to Japan or Korea. I guess Southeast Asian destinations are still better reachable from Istanbul.
