Air Serbia
Serbia's state-owned flag carrier, operating scheduled regional and international services with Belgrade as its principal hub.
About Air Serbia
Air Serbia is Serbia's national flag carrier and operates scheduled passenger services under the JU airline code. The current Air Serbia identity was introduced in 2013 when Jat Airways was reorganised and renamed, although the carrier's institutional lineage extends through earlier Yugoslav and Serbian airlines. Etihad Airways initially held a minority interest in the restructured company, but the Serbian government subsequently became its sole shareholder.
Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport is Air Serbia's primary hub and the centre of its connecting network. The airline serves 30 destinations across 23 countries through 66 routes. Its network includes Copenhagen, Gothenburg, Larnaca, Moscow, Rome, Vienna, Amsterdam, Athens, Berlin, Brussels and Bucharest. Copenhagen, Rome, Gothenburg and Larnaca also rank among its busiest departure points by number of routes after Belgrade.
Aircraft types associated with Air Serbia's recorded operations include ATR 42 and ATR 72 turboprops; Airbus A318, A319, A320 and A321-family jets; Boeing 737-300 and 737-800 aircraft; Canadair Regional Jet 200s; De Havilland Dash 8-400s; Embraer ERJ-170s; and Fokker 100s. This varied record reflects regional, mainline and partner-operated flying. Economy is the standard cabin, while Business Class availability and service vary by aircraft, route and operating carrier.
Air Serbia is not a member of Star Alliance, SkyTeam or Oneworld. It instead extends its reach through individual codeshare and interline relationships, so some tickets bearing a JU flight number may involve another operating airline. Air Serbia participates in Etihad Guest as its frequent-flyer programme, allowing eligible customers to earn or redeem miles under the programme's current partner, booking-class and availability rules.
A practical strength is Air Serbia's role in linking Belgrade with capitals and regional business centres across Europe. Its compact home hub can facilitate straightforward connections, while partnerships provide additional itinerary options beyond its own services. The principal challenge is product consistency: aircraft, baggage terms, seat selection, onboard service and check-in procedures can differ between fare families and partner-operated flights, making it important to inspect the operating carrier and ticket conditions before departure.
Good to know
Flying with Air Serbia — what to expect
Check Fare Conditions
Baggage, seat selection and ticket-change privileges vary by fare family. Confirm the inclusions displayed in your booking before paying.
Confirm Operating Carrier
Some Air Serbia itineraries may be operated by partner airlines. The operating carrier can affect check-in, baggage handling, cabin layout and onboard service.
Belgrade Connections
Belgrade is the airline's main connecting point. Allow additional time when an itinerary requires passport control, baggage collection or travel on separate tickets.
Aircraft May Vary
Air Serbia routes are associated with regional turboprops, narrow-body jets and partner aircraft. Seat design, storage space and cabin amenities can therefore vary between flights.
Loyalty Eligibility
Eligible Air Serbia flights can earn or use Etihad Guest miles, but participation depends on the fare class and operating carrier. Review the programme rules before booking if mileage credit matters.
