On May 23rd, Air Serbia commenced a direct service between Belgrade and Toronto, re-establishing an air connection between Serbia and Canada for the first time in more than thirty years (back then, JAT was flying to Canada).

Flights between Belgrade and Toronto will operate twice weekly, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, operating by Airbus A330-200 aircraft from the Serbian national airline’s fleet.
“After more than three decades, we are once again introducing a direct air route between Belgrade and Toronto, which represents a significant symbolic and strategic step forward for our company. Toronto is our third destination in North America, alongside New York and Chicago, further strengthening our intercontinental presence and contributing to the development of Belgrade as an important hub connecting Europe and North America,” said Jiří Marek, CEO of Air Serbia.
The new route is particularly significant for the Serbian diaspora, given the large community of people of Serbian origin living in Toronto, and addresses a long-standing need for a direct air link between the two cities.
Strong passenger interest and high cabin load factors on the flights confirm that this is an important and carefully considered strategic decision that will contribute to strengthening Serbia’s connectivity with North America.
