Air Serbia posts highest revenue and passenger numbers in company history

BELGRADE - In 2025, Serbia's national airline Air Serbia carried 4.57 mln passengers - which is a 3 pct increase relative to the year before - and its revenues totalled 719.5 mln euros, marking a second consecutive year in which they exceeded 700 mln euros.

"The national airline recorded stable business results in 2025, with rising demand, increased passenger numbers, and further expansion of its network," Air Serbia said on Tuesday.

"The average passenger cabin load factor was 77.3 pct, representing a rise of 2.4 pp compared to 2024. The total number of flights operated was 48,925, 4 pct higher than the previous year, while capacity was further optimised through adjustments in frequencies and aircraft types on key routes. Through careful capacity management, timely commercial decisions, and strengthening strategic partnerships, the company further consolidated its presence in key markets and recorded a pre-tax net profit of 45.3 mln euros," it said in a statement.

"We are proud that in 2025 we achieved record revenue and passenger numbers, demonstrating responsible and strategic management in the interest of the company, the state of Serbia, and all its citizens. Despite the dynamic and unpredictable developments in the global aviation industry, including rising operating costs and supply chain price increases, Air Serbia has shown the ability to adapt quickly and maintain stable growth," said Air Serbia CEO Jiri Marek.

"Air Serbia’s network spans 103 destinations – 90 scheduled flights and 13 charter flights to a total of 34 countries across four continents. The company continued its strategic network expansion by launching six new destinations and increasing frequencies on existing routes, focusing on the most in-demand markets. The fleet was modernised and further strengthened with two additional Embraer E-195 aircraft and one new long-haul aircraft in EXPO livery, supporting the promotion of the specialised exhibition taking place in Belgrade next year. Passenger experience was enhanced through digitalisation and innovations, such as the introduction of premium check-in counters for business travellers and Duty Free services on Air Serbia flights.

In the current year, Air Serbia plans further network expansion, the introduction of new destinations, and strengthening its competitive position in regional and international markets. The company’s strategy is based on digital transformation, sustainable growth, increasing global competitiveness, and service personalisation, including the introduction of a loyalty program and partnerships that further enhance service quality," the airline also said.
