Six successful months since the introduction of Air Serbia’s direct Shanghai service
11 July 2025
During the first six months since the launch of the direct air service between Belgrade and Shanghai, Air Serbia has transported over 20,000 passengers on this important intercontinental route. Flights between the Serbian capital and China’s business hub have recorded high load factor, with a steady increase in interest that has intensified further during the current summer season.
“The commencement of scheduled flights between Belgrade and Shanghai marked an important step in our initiative aimed at enhancing Serbia’s global connectivity. The number of passengers who have used this route over the past six months clearly confirms its justification and strategic importance. In doing so, we have facilitated travel between the two countries and contributed to strengthening economic and cultural exchange between Serbia and the People’s Republic of China. We are confident that the importance of this route will continue to grow in the years to come, in line with trends in cooperation between Europe and Asia,” said Jiri Marek, CEO of Air Serbia.
In addition to Shanghai, Air Serbia also operates long-haul flights to Guangzhou, New York, and Chicago. All of these routes are served by Airbus A330-200 aircraft.
