Air Serbia publishes first sustainability report


Air Serbia has published the first Sustainability Report in the company’s history, providing an overview of the results achieved during 2025 in areas of environmental protection, social responsibility and corporate governance. The report was prepared in accordance with the internationally recognised sustainability reporting standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).

Some of the report highlights, which covers the airline’s busiest year of 2025, reveals it used 3.681 tonnes of Sustainable Aviation Fuel in 2025, while total reported Scope 1 emissions amounted to 685.433 tonnes of CO2 equivalent. Air Serbia described 2025 as the baseline year for future emissions reporting and said formal sustainability targets are expected to be introduced in coming reporting cycles. The report also provides further insight into the carrier’s future fleet thinking, noting that the Airbus A220-300, currently operated on wet-lease from airBaltic, serves as a reference point for future decisions on fleet composition. At the end of the year, Air Serbia employed an average of 1.533 people, with women accounting for 48.7% of the workforce. The airline said customer complaints declined by 10.1% during 2025, while its Net Promoter Score stood at 40.

Commenting on the report, Air Serbia’s CEO. Jiri Marek, said, “We are proud to present Air Serbia’s first Sustainability Report, an important document in the nearly century-long history of our company and a significant step forward in the way we communicate openly with passengers, employees, partners and the wider community. This report marks the beginning of our formal sustainability reporting journey and lays the foundations for monitoring progress in the years ahead”.

      Waste of time, seeing all the wars on this planet plus the consequences out of it. Also JU with its older fleet and growing year by year, is not really envirofriendly

      We are not everyday life readers but aviation enthusiast, further, those reports don't serve primarily everyday life readers anyway, but professional "users", such as different quality certification bodies, investors, corporate partners and suppliers, or clients etc, etc, etc...
      But we are happy you find this useless and fairytale and that you spilled out your daily doze of negativity.

      Not sure JU leading the charge here. OU operates a modern new fleet that burns much less fuel than JUs much older fleet of second hand aircraft.
      Also OU serves snacks and J/c meals in recycled boxes.
      Need to check your facts before commenting

      I don't think the comment at 09:31 was in regards these aspects. Rather that JU has decided to present information in this manner which is reflective of a business making moves to modernise its reporting. That was the point i get from the comment. OU also helps the environment by having many of its aircraft not flying at all, if we really want to get catty, but i suggest we dont.

      A good start to modernise reporting although much more impactful to operate a fleet of shiny new aircraft

      When you don't fly, your emission is 0 grams of CO2.

    This is very welcome and highly professionally put together. Great.

    JU has a very good gender balance in management and overall numbers. With 4.6% of pilots being women the report notes this is slightly under industry standards, but on an upwards increase. As a continent we should be shamed of such low levels levels of women in flying roles.

    What we can expect in the future is the introduction of the CO2 tax, first voluotaraly then mandatory.

    Doesnt matter that trump is burning up Middle East and polluting the strait, offset your carbon footpring from this flight for 4.99 eur one way!

    The smartest environmental step that Serbia can take is to introduce an additional tax on a per passenger basis for an environmental surcharge as well as a noise surcharge. There should also be a CO2 surcharge based on the fuel uplifted. I would also like to see Serbia go further than ReFuelEU, completing stopping tankering, it is unnecessary.
    These are some meaningful steps that can make a difference.

      The smartest move Serbia and the wider region could do is address the pollution from coal and wood burning for domestic heating. Aviation is positively green compared to the poisonous air pollution in urban spaces.
