Podcast: Air Serbia's Winning Formula | Aviation Week

Air Serbia CEO Jiří Marek discussed the strategy behind the airline’s selection as Aviation Week’s (ATW) Airline Market Leader winner for 2027 in the “Window Seat” podcast. Marek highlighted growth from Belgrade, describing the city as a developing connecting hub supported by new long-haul routes. Air Serbia carried a record 4.6 million passengers last year, with its network spanning more than 100 schedule and charter destinations. In May, it launched direct flights between Belgrade and Toronto, restoring links after more than three decades, making Toronto its third North American destination after New York and Chicago. The podcast also noted the airline’s fleet range from ATRs and E-jets to Airbus narrow and widebodies.
