Air Serbia handled its four-millionth passenger of the year on Sunday, November 2, following its busiest October on record. The milestone was achieved almost two weeks ahead of 2024, when the figure was reached on November 15. In October alone, the carrier welcomed 389.582 passengers and operated 4.117 flights, which represents an increase of 2% compared to the same month last year. Although the airline did not specify its average cabin load factor, it is believed to have hovered between 78% to 80% based on available seat capacity during the month. Tivat and Podgorica were once again Air Serbia’s two busiest destinations in the region, while Paris, Zurich, Frankfurt and Rome were the most popular in Western Europe. Flights to Larnaca, Istanbul, Athens and Barcelona had the most passengers in the wider Euro-Mediterranean region.

Commenting on the results, the carrier’s CEO, Jiri Marek, said, “Reaching four million transported passengers already at the beginning of November is a strong indicator that our continuous growth is ongoing. We are proud that an increasing number of passengers recognise the quality of our services and our dedication to every detail of the travel experience. We owe this success to all our employees, whose commitment and energy contribute every day to Air Serbia being recognised as a reliable air carrier”. He added, “We will continue to expand our destination network, modernise the fleet and improve services, so that we remain the first choice of passengers from the region and beyond”.

Air Serbia is expected to announce several new route additions for 2026 in the coming weeks, having already confirmed the launch of Toronto next May. In recent days, CEO Jiri Marek held talks with the non-resident Ambassador of Armenia to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia and Montenegro, with the Embassy noting that “areas of cooperation” were discussed. Mr Marek has previously indicated that the airline intends to further expand its presence in the Caucasus region in the near future.
