Air Serbia plans seasonal Belgrade-Toronto flights beginning May 2026

The twice-weekly schedule over a period of less than four months means Air Serbia may not rely heavily on connecting passengers traveling beyond Belgrade to other cities in the Balkans or elsewhere. Notable onward destinations from Toronto include Tirana, Bucharest, Moscow, Skopje, and Sofia.

Boško Rupić, Air Serbia's General Manager for Commercial and Strategy, said: "From late May, we will introduce seasonal flights to Toronto. The service is currently planned until late September. There is a big community from both Serbia and the region living there, so this will be an important route not just for Serbia and Belgrade but for the wider region, too.”

If launched as planned, the new service will become Toronto’s fourth-longest nonstop European route at approximately 4,006 nautical miles (7,419 kilometers) each way. Only Istanbul Airport (on the European side), Athens, and Lamezia Terme will have longer European links from Toronto next summer.

Direct flights between Belgrade and Toronto have been absent for some time. Over the past two decades several airlines—including Hungary’s Malev until 2008; SkyGreece in 2015; Air Canada Rouge and Air Transat in 2016—have served or attempted the route before ending operations by 2019.

Historically, other long-distance European connections from Toronto included Bucharest (last served by Air Canada Rouge until 2019), Kyiv (Aerosvit until 2012; Ukraine International until 2023), as well as various Moscow airports served by Aeroflot and Transaero up to the mid-2010s.

Air Serbia is also considering expanding its North American network further with possible Miami flights. The airline’s CEO has identified Miami as a logical next step for US expansion due to high demand for travel between Miami and Moscow via Istanbul. Earlier this year Emir Pineda of Miami-Dade Aviation Department suggested an announcement about this potential route could come by early 2026.
