Air Serbia carries more than 40,000 passengers between Belgrade, Chicago in one year

BELGRADE - On Friday, May 17, Air Serbia marked one year since the launch of direct flights between Belgrade and Chicago.

"Over the past 365 days, the Serbian national airline has carried more than 40,000 passengers and almost 750 t of cargo between the capital of Serbia and the Windy City," Air Serbia said in statement.

During the summer season, flights on this route will be operated three times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, it also said.

"The establishment of direct service between Belgrade and Chicago was a very important step in the development and improvement of our company's services. After a hiatus of more than three decades, we were able to delight passengers and enable them to easily reach their loved ones living in the wider Balkan region. The large number of passengers carried speaks volumes about the necessity of the direct air route between Belgrade and Chicago. Furthermore, this route has contributed to better cultural and economic exchange between Serbia and North America. We are confident that demand for these flights will only increase in the years to come, and we will do everything in our power to adequately meet it,” said Air Serbia Vice President for the Americas George Petkovic.

Besides Chicago, Air Serbia also operates a scheduled direct service between Belgrade and New York.
