Air Serbia carries three million passengers since beginning of 2024

BELGRADE - On Saturday, August 31, Air Serbia reached the three million passenger milestone in 2024, two weeks earlier than in the previous, record-breaking year, the flagship carrier has announced.

"During the first eight months of 2024, the Serbian national airline has operated more than 31 thousand scheduled and charter flights," it said in a statement.

"On September 15, 2023, for the first time since it started operating under its current name, Air Serbia carried more than three million passengers in a single year. Thanks to strong passenger demand for our flights to more than 90 destinations in 34 countries worldwide, Air Serbia has reached today the three million passenger milestone in 2024. It happened 15 days earlier than in 2023, which is a success we are very proud of," said Air Serbia CEO Jiri Marek.

In 2023, the national airline carried a total of 4.19 mln passengers on both scheduled and charter services, making it the third-best result in its nearly 97-year history.

"In 2024, Air Serbia has continued to achieve strong results and expand its network of destinations. From September 19, the airline will operate flights twice a week to Nice on the French Riviera, and on September 30, the company will launch a direct route between the capital of the Republic of Serbia and Guangzhou in the People's Republic of China.

To successfully execute the planned services, Air Serbia has expanded its fleet, which currently consists of two wide-body Airbus A330-200s, 13 narrow-body aircraft from the Airbus A320 family, ten ATR turboprops, and two Embraer E195 aircraft. A third long-haul aircraft is expected to arrive in Belgrade in the coming period," the company also said.
