This is the best March result since the company began operating under the Air Serbia name in 2013. “The winter season was very successful for us. We achieved exceptional results in January and February, both when it comes to the number of passengers carried and the number of flights operated. This trend continued in March, which is the ninth consecutive record-breaking month for our company. We introduced the summer fli- ght schedule and prepared a series of new destinations that we did not fly to in 2022. A large number of schedu- led destinations will feature boosted weekly frequencies, while we will also launch seasonal flights. The most active part of the year is ahead of us, and we believe results will

be even better in the coming months,” said Boško Rupić, Air Serbia General Manager, Commercial and Strategy. Air Serbia’s most popular Western European destina- tions in March were Zurich, Paris, Vienna and Berlin. When it comes to the wider region, the highest demand was for Podgorica and Tivat, as well as Athens and Istanbul. Direct flights to Budapest were launched in March. During the summer season, Air Serbia will operate the most flights to Tivat, Podgorica, Zurich and Istanbul. The national airline will fly twice a day to Athens, Larnaca, Ljubljana, Paris, Skopje, Tirana and Zagreb, while Air Ser- bia’s North America service will be boosted with the in- troduction of daily flights to New York and direct flights to Chicago, starting from 17 th May. Air Serbia will fly four ti- mes a week to new destinations in its network, such as Ankara, Krakow, Ohrid, Varna, Rhodes and Tel Aviv, and three times a week to Cairo, Hamburg, Gothenburg, Co- logne and Chania.
