Air Serbia

Air Serbia, founded in 2013 as a successor to the former Jat Airways, is the flag carrier of Serbia and is headquartered in Belgrade. The airline operates its hub at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport, serving destinations across Europe, the Middle East, and North America. Air Serbia's fleet includes Airbus A330-200 for long-haul routes and Airbus A319 and A320 aircraft for European services, along with ATR 72-600 turboprops for regional routes. The airline's cabin products include Business Class with lie-flat seats on the A330, Business Class with recliner seats on narrow-body aircraft, and Economy Class. Air Serbia was established through a partnership between the Serbian government and Etihad Airways, which took a 49 percent stake in the carrier and provided management expertise and capital. Etihad subsequently divested its stake, and Air Serbia is now majority owned by the Serbian government. The airline has developed Belgrade into a competitive connecting hub for traffic between Western Europe and the Balkans, the Middle East, and select intercontinental destinations. Air Serbia operates long-haul service to New York-JFK, leveraging demand from the Serbian diaspora in the United States. The Etihad Guest loyalty program initially served Air Serbia, which subsequently developed its own loyalty framework. Air Serbia does not belong to any global airline alliance but has applied for membership consideration. The airline has grown significantly since its relaunch, expanding its fleet and route network while improving service standards.
