Air Serbia’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Jiri Marek, and General Manager of Commercial and Strategy, Boško Rupić, have revealed their aims to explore new orders and expand the airline’s fleet. This agreement was noted during the International Air Transport Association (IATA) 81st Annual General Meeting (AGM) and World Air Transport Summit (WATS), which occurred in New Delhi, hosted by IndiGo.

What’s Next for Air Serbia?

Senior spokesmen at Air Serbia have confirmed that the airline expects to receive two Embraer aircraft by December (though subject to delays), alongside a young Airbus A320 by the end of winter.

When discussing future aims to expand Air Serbia’s fleet, Marek commented:

“We’re also actively evaluating two more A320s. Over the past three weeks, we’ve noticed the market becoming more dynamic. Several aircraft are returning from Wizz Air – previously under extended leases – and it seems that the engine issues affecting NEOs may now be easing. A few units from Volaris are also coming onto the market. We haven’t seen this level of aircraft availability since the Covid period. At this stage, we’re definitely planning to add two more A320s for next summer.”

Air Serbia’s current fleet is made up of mid-aged aircraft. This has resulted in several vital aircraft parts having to be renovated and modified at one time, and a larger amount of spares needed in order to continue regular operations. By reducing the age of Air Serbia’s fleet, the carrier aims to run flights more efficiently and at a lower cost.

In regard to long-term fleet expansion, Marek has further stated:
“While we’re certainly examining future fleet renewal, I wouldn’t expect any firm decisions before 2027. And even then, deliveries will depend on availability.”

About Air Serbia

Founded in 1927, Aeroput formed the origins of Air Serbia. Aeroput established its position as the flag-carrier of Yugoslavia, and a major regional airline by operating flights across Europe. This includes the destinations of Austria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey, Albania, and Italy. Following World War II, Aeroput was rebranded as JAT Jugoslovenski Aerotransport.

In 2013, Jat Airways was renamed again to Air Serbia – a subsidiary of Etihad Airways. The airline is the flag-carrier of Serbia, headquartered in Belgrade, and its main hub is Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (BEG).
