Belgrade Airport to secure sixth year of growth in its long-haul network in 2027 – Los Angeles, Sydney, Melbourne, Bangkok and Boston most sought-after unserved destinations

Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport is set to record its sixth consecutive year of long-haul network growth in 2027, with Air Serbia to introduce flights to Miami. Since 2022, the airport has gained nonstop services to Beijing, Chicago, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Toronto, all of which ranked among Belgrade's ten busiest unserved long-haul destinations prior to their launch.

With Miami, currently the busiest unserved US destination by passenger demand, due to be added next May, the most sought-after long-haul destinations from the Serbian capital will include Los Angeles, Sydney, Melbourne, Bangkok and Boston.

Nearly 20.000 passengers traveled between Belgrade and Miami on connecting, single-ticket itineraries in 2025, making Miami the Serbian capital's busiest unserved US market. The figure represents point-to-point demand between the two cities, while Air Serbia will also seek to attract passengers from across its regional network. More than 120.000 passengers traveled indirectly between Miami and the wider market encompassing the Balkans and Greece, much of which falls within Air Serbia's catchment area.

Belgrade Airport offers incentives for the launch of new long-haul services, including discounts on passenger service charges for both departing and transfer passengers over a three-year period. New long-haul routes also benefit from a full discount on landing fees in their first year, followed by reductions of 70% in the second year and 50% in the third. To attract new long-haul carriers, the airport provides an additional one euro per departing passenger, plus a further two euros per passenger if the service is maintained throughout the winter season.
