Air Serbia to launch double daily flights between Belgrade and Zagreb

Air Serbia, the national airline of the Republic of Serbia, today announced the launch of a double daily service between Belgrade and Zagreb (Croatia) from 12 December 2014.

The new flights mark the resumption of services between these two cities, following the last flight 23 years ago. The route enjoys a long history with the first flight operated by JAT's predecessor, Aeroput, taking place in February 1928. JAT re-introduced the route in April 1947 and serviced it until August 1991.

The new service will offer business travellers excellent connections through Air Serbia's Belgrade hub at Nikola Tesla International Airport to popular destinations across the airline's network including Athens, Abu Dhabi, Istanbul, Thessaloniki, Tel Aviv, Moscow and Larnaca, and key destinations across the Balkan region including Skopje, Tirana, Sofia, Bucharest, Tivat, Podgorica and Sarajevo.

Dane Kondić, Air Serbia's Chief Executive Officer, said: "The introduction of services to Zagreb is a significant and welcome addition to the airline's rapidly growing network. The flights will meet the growing demand of business and leisure travellers regularly commuting between these two capitals and will save them considerable time in comparison to travel by train or car. The new service will also provide two-way connections over Belgrade between Croatia, mainland Europe and key global destinations".

In line with the Air Serbia brand, the airline's modern aircraft offer an unparalleled onboard service proposition, including appetising menu options and a complimentary bar service.

Tickets can be purchased by calling 1800 0240 for free calls within the Croatian land line and mobile network, Air Serbia's Contact Center at 0800 11 528 (free calls within the Serbian land line and mobile network), +381 11 311 21 23 for calls from abroad, by visiting Air Serbia's official website www.airserbia.com or by visiting any of Air Serbia's offices or authorized travel agents.
