Air Serbia’s Fleet Gets Another Wide-Body Aircraft

Air Serbia has taken delivery of its second wide-body Airbus A330-200 aircraft. Named Mihajlo Pupin and sporting a special livery in honor of the physicist, the jet departed Marana in the Arizona desert for New York JFK on Saturday.

It continued its journey to Belgrade on the afternoon of the same day. The aircraft, registered YU-ARC, is eleven years old and formerly operated on behalf of South African Airways. It has been stored since May 2020. The jet was initially set for delivery in late October and was to be deployed on scheduled flights in early November, however, due to technical reasons its arrival was pushed back.

Air Serbia is currently wet-leasing an A330-200 from Spanish carrier Wamos Air for its New York service, as its YU-ARB registered jet is currently undergoing scheduled maintenance in Naples.

Air Serbia has said its A330s will be used on its long haul flights to Belgrade, Tianjin and Chicago, as well as on popular European routes.
