Air Serbia named 2017 Airline Market Leader

Air Serbia, the national airline of the Republic of Serbia, has been named 2017 Airline Market Leader by Air Transport World, the leading media brand serving the information needs of the global airline and commercial air transport communities.

The Belgrade-based airline was chosen by ATW’s editorial team for its phenomenal progress during the last three years, which culminated in the June 2016 launch of non-stop flights to New York, making Air Serbia the only carrier from Southeast Europe to offer transatlantic flights to the United States. It is also the first airline from the region to receive such an honor on a global stage.

– The Air Serbia story is remarkable, most especially its launch last year of direct flights to New York – resurrecting an air link and reinvigorating a market that had been lost for more than two decades. I congratulate the Air Serbia team on its achievement – said Karen Walker, Air Transport World Editor-in-Chief.

Dane Kondic, Chief Executive Officer of Air Serbia, said that “the vision of our shareholders was to establish an airline that embodied the modern spirit of Serbia and offered a guest experience second-to-none. We have excelled on both fronts and, by doing so, redefined the aviation landscape of Southeast Europe”.

ATW’s airline awards were established in 1974 to recognize excellence in the air transport industry and are well-respected across the sector for their integrity and independence, attracting hundreds of airline nominations every year, says the press release by Air Serbia.
