Serbia’s national airline, Air Serbia, announced today the launch of direct flights between Belgrade and Toronto, Canada, starting on May 23, 2026.
According to the announcement, this route marks one of the most significant milestones in Air Serbia’s recent development and holds great importance for passengers, tourism, and the economy.
Flights between Belgrade’s Nikola Tesla Airport and Toronto Pearson International Airport will operate twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, using Airbus A330-200 aircraft.
Following the introduction of direct routes to New York and Chicago, Toronto becomes Air Serbia’s third destination in North America.
Air Serbia’s CEO, Jiří Marek, recalled that the airline’s predecessor, JAT, last operated flights to Toronto in May 1992.
“This strategic step marks the beginning of a new chapter in our company’s history and continues Serbia’s economic, business, and cultural development. I would also like to emphasize that Toronto is one of the world’s key cities with a large Serbian diaspora, making the importance of this direct route extend beyond economic and business aspects,” Marek said.
He added that expanding into the North American market fulfills the company’s vision of positioning Belgrade as a transit hub connecting Europe and North America.
“We will continue to expand our network and intercontinental presence in the future, aiming to remain a leading regional airline in air transport. Our goal is to make Serbia an attractive and more accessible destination for further investments and economic growth,” Marek stated.
Air Serbia highlighted that passengers traveling from Toronto will have convenient connections via Belgrade to numerous cities within its network, including Athens, Budapest, Dubrovnik, Heraklion, Istanbul, Ljubljana, Bucharest, Prague, Sarajevo, Thessaloniki, Skopje, Sofia, Split, Podgorica, Tirana, Tivat, Vienna, Zagreb, and Zurich.
