Air Serbia carries over 200,000 passengers in November

BELGRADE - Air Serbia transported more than 200,000 passengers on scheduled and charter flights in November 2022 - the figure is the highest number of passengers for November since 2013, when the company began operating under its current name.

"During November, which is believed to be one of the months with the lowest traffic in this part of the world, the Serbian airline had a 113 pct growth in the number of passengers carried, i.e., more than twice as much as in November 2021. Compared to November in the record-setting year 2019, a 15 pct increase was reported," the national airline said in a statement.

“In the first eleven months of this year, we carried over 2,500,000 passengers. That’s a million passengers more than last year. When we look back, Air Serbia’s most successful year was 2019, when we, in the period from January to November, carried only four percent more passengers than this year. We are continuing to monitor the trends and we hope that the good results in 2022 are an overture into an even better 2023,” said Bosko Rupic, Air Serbia General Manager Commercial and Strategy.

During November, Air Serbia operated 2,536 flights from its hub in Belgrade, as well as from the airports in Nis and Kraljevo, surpassing the total number of flights from November 2019 by 10 pct, and some of the most popular destinations in November were Paris, New York, Zurich, London, Istanbul, Podgorica and Amsterdam, the statement said.
