Air Serbia plans to expand its wide-body fleet to up to eight aircraft in the future and is preparing to take delivery of its third Airbus A330-200, which is expected to arrive in late July or early August this year. The aircraft is currently undergoing maintenance at Lufthansa Technic, where the landing gear will be overhauled.
The expansion of the long-haul fleet is part of a long-term five-year plan aimed at expanding the Serbian airline's long-haul network. Future goals include the addition of new long-haul markets such as Miami in 2025, in addition to the destinations already served such as New York, Tianjin, Chicago, as well as the planned destinations of Shanghai and Guangzhou in late 2024.
The new A330-200 aircraft will be equipped with the same cabin equipment as Etihad Airways to ensure consistent product quality. Air Serbia plans to equip the entire A330 fleet accordingly. In parallel with the expansion of its long-haul fleet, Air Serbia has also renewed its ATR72 turboprop fleet and achieved the goal of doubling its fleet with the delivery of the tenth ATR72-600.
CEO Jiri Marek emphasized the strategic importance of the fleet renewal: "Renewing the turboprop fleet was one of our main goals. We gradually replaced older models with modern ATR72-600s, which led to a significant improvement in operational efficiency."
Air Serbia continues to strive to strengthen its position as a leading airline in the region by modernising its fleet and expanding its route network to meet growing market needs.
