Air Serbia to launch direct flights between Belgrade, Tbilisi from June 15

A new European airline is set to enter the Georgian aviation market. Air Serbia will commence direct regular flights between Belgrade and Tbilisi starting June 15, operating three times a week using an Airbus A319.

Levan Moseshvili, the General Director of the United Airports of Georgia, on Tuesday said there has never been a direct regular air connection between Georgia and Serbia until now.

“We are delighted that Serbia's flagship airline, Air Serbia, is entering the Georgian aviation market. The United Airports of Georgia has been in discussions with the airline for several years. Recently, negotiations intensified, and in the final stage, TAV Georgia, the operator of Tbilisi and Batumi airports, also became involved. Ultimately, we reached an agreement with the airline to operate direct flights between our capitals three times a week during the summer navigation season”, Moseshvili said.

Moseshvili also confirmed that Air Serbia would continue operations on the Belgrade-Tbilisi route throughout the entire year.

Air Serbia is the successor to the first Serbian national airline, Aeroput, which was founded in 1927. In 2024, the total passenger flow between Georgia and Serbia amounted to 16,839 passengers, representing a 66% increase compared to the data from 2023.
