Air Serbia to unveil new summer and winter routes

Air Serbia is preparing to unveil its upcoming network expansion, with new route announcements expected shortly. In contrast to previous years, the airline is planning to disclose destinations for both the 2026 summer season and the 2026/27 winter schedule, which begins in late October next year. Over recent weeks, the carrier has hinted at several potential additions, including Baku, Yerevan, Ibiza, a Greek island destination and a renewed presence in the Middle East. As EX-YU Aviation News learns, some of the airline’s existing seasonal routes may also transition to year-round operations, following the strong performance of its newly extended Split service, which has exceeded expectations since being upgraded to year-round.

Air Serbia is also expected to add frequencies on several existing services, primarily larger European airports. This comes as the carrier handled close to 300.000 passengers in November across more than 3.400 flights, in what is believed to be flat to modest growth. During the month, Air Serbia also welcomed its 35 millionth passenger since rebranding under its current name. The airline recorded a cabin load factor of 75% in November, marking a four-point improvement on the same month last year. Paris, Zurich, London, Barcelona, Frankfurt, Rome, Podgorica, Tivat, Ljubljana, Larnaca, Istanbul and Athens were among the busiest routes, in no particular order. Since the start of the year, passenger numbers have grown by around 3% compared to the same period in 2024.

Commenting on the results, the carrier’s CEO, Jiri Marek, said, “The results we achieve month after month show that our passengers recognise the quality and reliability we provide. We are proud of the fact that interest in Air Serbia flights remains at a high level throughout the entire year, which is a clear indication that our market approach is delivering excellent results. We will continue to expand our destination network, adapting to the dynamic demands of the market”.
