Air Serbia to launch direct flights between Belgrade, Toronto on May 23

BELGRADE - Serbia's national airline Air Serbia announced on Monday it would launch direct service between Belgrade and Toronto (Toronto Pearson International Airport YYZ) on May 23 2026.

"This route represents one of the most significant milestones in the recent development of Air Serbia and is of exceptional importance for passengers, tourism, and businesses. Flights between Belgrade and Toronto will operate twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, using Airbus A330‑200 aircraft. Tickets go on sale from 16 October 2025 and will be available for purchase via the official website www.airserbia.com, the Contact Centre, and all Air Serbia sales outlets," the company said in a statement.

"After establishing direct flights to New York and Chicago, Toronto is Air Serbia’s third destination in North America. JAT operated its last flight to Toronto in May 1992. Now, after more than 30 years, we are proud to announce the reintroduction of a direct service between Belgrade and Toronto. This strategic step marks the beginning of a new chapter in the history of our company and represents a continuation of Serbia’s economic, commercial, and cultural development. Toronto is known as one of the world’s most important destinations with a large Serbian diaspora, so the significance of this direct service goes beyond economic and commercial considerations. For years, the Serbian diaspora has been advocating for the establishment of a direct air link between Belgrade and Toronto, and I am extremely pleased that we have been able to align our strategic plans with the needs of the market. This route not only connects two countries but also two cultures and two communities, facilitating contacts and improving opportunities for faster and easier communication. I am particularly pleased that it will make it easier for many passengers from Serbia and the region to reach their families and friends. Establishing a strong presence in the North American market is accomplishing our vision for Belgrade to become a transit hub, linking Europe and North America. We will strive to continue developing our network of destinations and intercontinental presence in the future, so that we remain at the forefront of companies in the region in terms of air transport, making Serbia a desirable and more accessible destination for further investment and business opportunities,” said Air Serbia CEO Jirí Marek.

"Air Serbia will provide passengers with good connections from Toronto, via Belgrade, to numerous cities within its network, such as Athens, Budapest, Dubrovnik, Heraklion, Istanbul, Ljubljana, Bucharest, Prague, Sarajevo, Thessaloniki, Skopje, Sofia, Split, Podgorica, Tirana, Tivat, Vienna, Zagreb and Zurich," Air Serbia said.
