By the end of this month or in early February, the carrier intends to retire another A319, with a third scheduled to exit the fleet in March. These three aircraft will be gradually replaced by three Airbus A320s. One A320, an eleven-year-old jet previously operated by Wizz Air and registered 9H-WZS, is currently undergoing maintenance ahead of its entry into service, which is expected next month. A further two A320s, formerly flown by Aegean Airlines, are due to arrive in April, although they are not expected to enter service until June.

In terms of its Embraer fleet, the carrier took delivery of its third E195 last month, which entered service last week. A fourth E195, also previously operated by Azul, has undergone test flights this week and is now in the final stages of preparation ahead of delivery. The aircraft is expected to arrive in Belgrade later this month.

With the induction of the fourth Embraer and three A320s, the airline will finalise its fleet for the 2026 summer season. The carrier is now shifting its focus to the 2026/27 winter season, as well as to potential aircraft leasing opportunities emerging from the recent bankruptcies of several airlines.

As recently reported, among its wide-body aircraft, Air Serbia plans to retain its four-strong A330 fleet in the short term. This includes the aircraft registered YU-ARC, whose lease expires toward the end of the year but is set to be extended. The carrier has said the aircraft has “very favourable lease terms”, and that retaining it provides additional operational flexibility by allowing it to be used as a spare.

One of the airline’s four A330s, registered YU-ARD, is currently undergoing scheduled maintenance and is expected to return to service later this month, while another aircraft, YU-ARB, is scheduled to enter maintenance later this month.
