Belgrade Airport Soars

From Shanghai to Sardinia, Serbia's capital is flying higher than ever

Belgrade’s Nikola Tesla Airport has firmly secured its place among Europe’s fastest-growing airports, with over 1.6 million passengers passing through its gates in the first quarter of 2025—a 56% leap compared to the same period in 2019.

Though year-on-year growth is modest at 0.4%, it mirrors a continent-wide aviation recovery, with VINCI Airports, which manages Belgrade Airport, reporting a 6% increase across its global network.

Fuelled by a dynamic expansion strategy, Belgrade Airport has unveiled new routes to Shanghai, Florence, Sardinia, Tbilisi, and Mykonos, alongside seasonal flights to Rodos and new Wizz Air services to Alicante and Friedrichshafen.

The low-cost carrier will also base a fourth Airbus A321neo in Belgrade, boosting capacity.

With connections to 116 destinations in 2025, Belgrade isn’t just bouncing back—it’s becoming a major European gateway.
