Air Serbia’s CEO, Jiri Marek, commented on the upcoming service, stating, “Just nine days ago, on Monday, September 30, 2024, we initiated scheduled flights between Belgrade and Guangzhou, our second destination in the People’s Republic of China, following the addition of Tianjin to our network on December 9, 2022. With the launch of direct flights to Shanghai on January 11, 2025, alongside the visa-free regime and the recently signed free trade agreement, we are fostering stronger economic relations, business ties, tourism, and cultural connections between Serbia and China. We believe that these flights will facilitate faster travel for business and tourism, as well as improve the exchange of goods and services between our two traditionally friendly nations.”
