Air Serbia will be Serbia's new airline once it commences flight operations after receiving appropriate regulatory approval. It will replace Jat Airways, whose operations will be transferred to the company after a transitional period, starting from October 2013. Air Serbia will be based at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport.

History

The airline was established on 1 August 2013, following the signing of an agreement between the Government of Serbia and Etihad Airways of the United Arab Emirates. It will eventually be owned 51% by the Serbian Government and 49% by Etihad, after the latter converts loans made to Air Serbia, into equity.[1]

Under the agreement, Air Serbia will be formally managed by Etihad Airways for an initial period of five years.[1]

Destinations

Air Serbia will take over all 33 destinations in Jat Airways' current network and add Abu Dhabi, Banja Luka, Beirut, Bucharest, Budapest, Cairo, Kiev, Ljubljana, Prague, Sofia, Varna, Warsaw.[2]

Fleet

The carrier will lease two Airbus A319 from Etihad during its initial launch and another eight later in the year.[3] Jat Airways' Boeing 737-300s will be retired and ATR 72s transitioned to Air Serbia. The A319s will eventually be replaced with either Boeing 737 MAX or Airbus A320neo in a few years time.[4]

Therefore Air Serbia's future fleet will consist of the following aircraft:[4]
