7.2 Emissions management and decarbonization Flying connects people, and that connection carries an environmental footprint. Progress in this area rarely comes through one big move , it builds through a series of smaller, consistent steps: a newer fleet, smarter fuel use, and a gradual shift toward more sustainable fuel sources as they become available. This chapter marks the start of that conversation for Air Serbia. The methodologies applied draw on internationally recognized emission factors and guidance from IATA, with global warming potentials applied on a 100-year basis in line with the IPCC Assessment Report (AR5/AR6). Scope 1 - Direct emissions Scope 1 covers direct emissions from sources owned or controlled by Air Serbia. The overwhelming majority comes from the combustion of aircraft fuel (Jet A-1), complemented by a much smaller contribution from the company's own service vehicles and ground support equipment , such as ground power units and air conditioning units , used to prepare aircraft between flights.
Scope 2 - Indirect energy emissions Scope 2 covers indirect emissions associated with the generation of purchased electricity consumed across Air Serbia's corporate offices.

Sustainable Aviation Fuel In 2025, Air Serbia took its first step into Sustainable Aviation Fuel, using 3,681 tonnes as availability and cost allowed , a small but deliberate move toward a lower-carbon fuel mix in the years ahead. Emissions intensity To allow performance to be assessed independently of changes in the overall volume of operations, Air Serbia reports its emissions intensity based on aircraft fuel consumption.

This first year of emissions reporting gives Air Serbia a clear starting point rather than a finished story. As data collection matures and coverage expands across the business, the company expects to build a fuller picture year over year , one that captures more of its footprint and tracks progress against it with greater precision. For now, this baseline reflects where the company stands today, and the intention to keep building on it honestly, one reporting cycle at a time.

Ground support equipment includes the air conditioning units and ground power units Air Serbia owns and uses to service its own aircraft; the majority of ground handling activity at the company's stations is carried out by third-party providers using their own equipment, which sits outside the bounds of this report.
