Air Serbia will introduce flights between Belgrade and Munich this summer season, launching a daily service from May 22. Operations will be maintained by the 118-seat Embraer E195 aircraft. The move follows the closure of Lufthansa CityLine, which has led to the cancellation of a significant number of flights between the two cities. Lufthansa had previously been the sole operator on the route. The German carrier is no longer accepting bookings on most services between Munich and Belgrade until June 1, while flights scheduled beyond this date are also unlikely to operate at full capacity. The Bavarian capital becomes Air Serbia’s tenth destination in Germany, joining Berlin, Cologne, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Hahn, Hannover, Hamburg, Nuremberg and Stuttgart. Tickets for the new route are now available for purchase through the airline’s website

Munich becomes Air Serbia’s tenth new destination this summer, with the carrier set to progressively roll out its new routes from April 30. With this addition, the airline will operate 46 weekly flights from Belgrade to Germany, rising to fifty weekly rotations when services from Niš are also included. Further details for the new Belgrade – Munich service can be found here. Air Serbia’s predecessor, Jat Airways, last operated flights between the two cities in June 2008, deploying the ATR 72-200 on the route. The Serbian flag carrier is therefore returning to Munich after almost exactly eighteen years.
