Air Serbia surpassed the milestone of transporting two million passengers in the first half of 2025, the airline’s CEO Jiri Marek announced, expressing hopes to carry around 4.7 million passengers by the end of the year.
Marek attributed this success to the launch of six new routes this year and consistent annual growth of about six percent.
“Belgrade has become a central hub not only for the former Yugoslav countries but also for the wider Balkan region. We now operate over 18 routes within the former Yugoslavia, making Belgrade a natural transit point for travelers,” he said.
The most popular destinations currently served by Air Serbia remain Podgorica and Tivat in Montenegro, followed by transit routes such as Zurich and Paris, as well as Larnaca, Athens, and Barcelona.
Regarding the possibility of opening direct flights to India, Korea, and Japan, Marek noted that the list of potential new destinations is regularly reviewed. However, he said that direct flights to these countries are not expected to launch in the near future, emphasizing that such routes need to be commercially viable and supported by sufficient local demand.
He also highlighted ongoing efforts to strengthen the airline’s fleet, announcing the purchase of two Embraer E25 jets and an Airbus A320 this year. Additionally, contracts have been signed for two new Airbus A324 aircraft expected to join the fleet next season.
