airBaltic says no impact to Air Serbia amid bankruptcy restructuring

airBaltic says no impact to Air Serbia amid bankruptcy restructuring

airBaltic has said its ongoing bankruptcy restructuring will have no impact on its cooperation with Air Serbia, including the wet-lease arrangement under which the Latvian carrier operates up to four Airbus A220-300 aircraft on behalf of its Serbian counterpart. Air Serbia has similarly confirmed that all planned operations under the agreement are continuing without changes. “The proceedings will have no impact on airBaltic’s partnership with Air Serbia. As planned, airBaltic will continue to provide Air Serbia with up to four Airbus A220-300 aircraft, together with crew, maintenance and insurance, under a wet-lease arrangement”, airBaltic said. Under a wet-lease, also known as ACMI, the operating airline provides the aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance, while the contracting carrier retains commercial control of the flights, which operate under its own flight numbers. Air Serbia also confirmed that the developments at airBaltic have not affected the arrangement. “The proceedings in question have no impact on the operational cooperation between Air Serbia and airBaltic, including flights operated by the Latvian carrier under the existing agreement. All planned operations are being carried out in accordance with the schedule and without any changes for Air Serbia passengers”, the Serbian flag carrier said. Air Serbia and airBaltic signed a two-year wet-lease agreement in October 2025, which came into effect on November 1 of that year. The arrangement initially envisaged two A220-300s operating on behalf of Air Serbia during the 2025/26 winter season and up to four during the 2026 summer season. Based on its two-year duration, the current agreement is set to run until the end of October 2027, unless amended by the two airlines. During September alone, the Latvian carrier’s aircraft are deployed on 516 Air Serbia flights, including both outbound and return services. The A220-300s are most frequently being used this month on services to Zurich, Amsterdam and Paris. airBaltic has also begun hiring locally based crew in Belgrade in recent months, who are assigned to flights operated on behalf of Air Serbia. Earlier this year, the carrier advertised thirty fixed-term cabin crew positions at its Belgrade base. The assurances come after airBaltic voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States on September 14 as it seeks to restructure its finances. Chapter 11 enables a company to continue operating while reorganising its debt and other obligations and does not amount to a liquidation. airBaltic has said its flight operations will continue during the process. The Latvian flag carrier has been facing mounting financial pressure, including a sizeable debt burden. The restructuring will involve changes to airBaltic’s fleet and cost base. The airline plans to reduce the size of its Airbus A220-300 fleet from 55 to 36 aircraft by the end of 2026, while discussions have also been launched with unions over potential workforce reductions. airBaltic CEO Erno Hilden has stressed that operations will not be disrupted during the restructuring and has indicated that the carrier’s wet-lease business will form an important part of the process. Air Serbia has previously described the aircraft as an important reference point for future decisions concerning the composition of its own fleet. EX-YU Aviation News

Croatia Airlines schedules A319 retirement within weeks

Croatia Airlines schedules A319 retirement within weeks

Croatia Airlines has tentatively scheduled the retirement of its remaining Airbus A319 aircraft for next month as it accelerates its transition towards an all-A220 in-house fleet. Based on the carrier’s current schedule filing, the type is due to operate its final commercial service on October 11. The A319’s last day of operations is presently scheduled to involve flights from Zagreb to Dubrovnik, continuing to Rome, before returning to Dubrovnik and finally Zagreb. However, the allocation remains tentative and is highly likely to change as the airline adjusts its fleet deployment. Nevertheless, the filing provides an indication that Croatia Airlines plans to end A319 operations imminently. The carrier currently has four active A319s, registered 9A-CTG, 9A-CTH, 9A-CTL and 9A-CTN. The type has formed part of Croatia Airlines’ fleet since 1998 and has been deployed extensively across its domestic and European network. The aircraft are configured with 144 seats. Their withdrawal will follow the retirement of Croatia Airlines’ final Airbus A320 earlier this year. The last aircraft of the type, registered 9A-CTO, operated its final commercial service between Zagreb and Amsterdam on January 26, bringing an end to almost three decades of A320 operations at the airline. The accelerated phase-out of the A319s comes as Croatia Airlines continues the largest fleet renewal programme in its history. The carrier currently operates eleven A220s, comprising nine A220-300s and two smaller A220-100s. It expects to take delivery of a further three A220 aircraft by the end of this year, subject to the manufacturer’s delivery schedule. The fifteenth and final jet from the current order is due to arrive in 2027. Croatia Airlines will continue operating its remaining three Dash 8 Q400 turboprops during the 2026/27 winter season. They are expected to be retired at the end of the scheduling period in late March 2027. The airline will then operate an all-A220 in-house fleet, supplemented by wet-leased ATR72 turboprops. Its ATR operations are expected to expand next summer , with a second aircraft planned and the number of flights operated by the type set to increase significantly. EX-YU Aviation News

Air Serbia retires third A319, two more aircraft to join fleet

Air Serbia retires third A319, two more aircraft to join fleet

Air Serbia has retired its third Airbus A319 aircraft, registered YU-APB. The 22-year-old aircraft left Belgrade yesterday for Teesside, with its last revenue service operated on September 8 from Tivat to Nikola Tesla Airport. Air Serbia initiated a gradual, phased retirement of its A319 fleet last year with the withdrawal of its first aircraft of the type, registered YU-APK. It was followed by the second this June, YU-APD. The flag carrier plans to completely phase out the A319s over a three to five-year period, replacing them with larger A320s and more Embraer E195 jets. All three A319s that have now left the fleet were either 21 or 22 years old. So far this year, the airline has taken delivery of three A320s and one E195. The carrier’s CEO, Jiri Marek, noted that in addition to the incoming aircraft, it is seeking further capacity for the 2027 summer season. With the planned arrival of two aircraft, Air Serbia’s in-house Embraer fleet will grow to five, supplemented by four Bulgaria Air E190s wet-leased until the end of the 2027 summer season. Meanwhile, its A320 fleet will increase to seven aircraft. Commenting on its Embraer fleet earlier this year, Mr Marek previously noted, “There will be a significant number of [E195]-E1 aircraft available on the market. At present, several carriers, including Azul and JetBlue, are phasing out E1 aircraft, while LOT Polish Airlines is set to transition to the A220, creating favourable market availability. For us, this represents an ideal opportunity. This type allows us not only to further increase frequencies, but also to sustain routes year-round. Given the strong seasonality in our network, such aircraft enable us to maintain most destinations during the winter season as well”. On the A320s, the CEO added, “Introducing more A320s into service is part of Air Serbia’s continuous fleet renewal process. We are gradually replacing older A319 models with these aircraft, increasing the number of available seats and improving operational efficiency. Our goal is to develop the fleet in a long-term and planned manner, adapting its structure to market needs and the company’s future growth. We will continue to rely on Airbus aircraft, most likely the A320ceo, as we expect a number of these units to return to the market over the next few years at favourable prices”. EX-YU Aviation News

Air Serbia increases SAF use, warns of high costs

Air Serbia increases SAF use, warns of high costs

Air Serbia sees sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) as an important element of the aviation industry’s decarbonisation efforts but says its price and limited availability remain major obstacles to wider adoption. Speaking at the OIE Serbia conference, the carrier’s General Manager for Commercial and Strategy, Bosko Rupić, said SAF currently accounts for around 1.7% of the airline’s fuel use, up from approximately 0.67% in 2024. Although Serbia is not a member of the European Union, a significant proportion of Air Serbia’s operations involve EU markets, where regulations are gradually increasing the required share of SAF. Under current targets, the proportion will rise from 2% to 6% by 2030 and eventually reach 70% by 2050. SAF supplies are currently not available at Belgrade Airport. Mr Rupić noted that SAF is between two and three times more expensive than conventional jet fuel. “Fuel accounts for between 20% and 30% of an airline’s total costs”, Mr Rupić said, adding that carriers generally operate with margins of only 3% to 4%. He argued that the financial burden of aviation’s decarbonisation cannot be placed solely on airlines or passed on entirely to passengers through higher ticket prices. According to Mr Rupić, greater involvement from governments and the wider public sector will be necessary to support the transition and offset some of the additional costs. Fleet modernisation is another important part of Air Serbia’s efforts to reduce emissions. Mr Rupić pointed to the usage of newer-generation aircraft, including the Airbus A220, through a wet-lease arrangement, which offer lower fuel consumption and consequently reduced carbon emissions. New-generation aircraft can consume between 15% and 20% less fuel than the equipment they replace. EX-YU Aviation News

PHOTOS: Air Serbia launches Tenerife service

NEWS FLASH Air Serbia inaugurated flights between Belgrade and Tenerife this afternoon, marking its seventh destination in Spain. The sold-out inaugural service was operated by an Airbus A320 aircraft, although an A220-300, wet-leased from airBaltic, will operate the majority of flights this winter. Tenerife becomes Air Serbia’s sixth-longest route, behind its long-haul services, and its longest within Europe. Operations were initially scheduled to commence on October 27 but were brought forward to mid-September due to strong demand. Flights will run twice per week. Commenting on the launch, Air Serbia’s General Manager for Commercial and Strategy, Boško Rupić, said, “With the launch of nonstop flights to Tenerife, we continue to expand Air Serbia’s network in Spain, which is one of the most important and attractive tourist destinations in Europe. Strong passenger interest in this service has shown that there is clear demand for a direct link between Belgrade and the Canary Islands. Tenerife is a destination that, thanks to its pleasant year-round weather, offers opportunities to travel outside the traditional summer season, particularly during autumn and winter. We believe that the new service will be of interest to passengers from Serbia and the region, as well as to those travelling to Tenerife from other destinations in our network via Belgrade". On September 30, the Serbian carrier will launch services to its eighth destination in Spain, Seville. During the January - July period, Air Serbia handled 145.792 passengers on its flights to Spain.

Air Serbia publishes first sustainability report

Air Serbia has published the first Sustainability Report in the company’s history, providing an overview of the results achieved during 2025 in areas of environmental protection, social responsibility and corporate governance. The report was prepared in accordance with the internationally recognised sustainability reporting standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). Some of the report highlights, which covers the airline’s busiest year of 2025, reveals it used 3.681 tonnes of Sustainable Aviation Fuel in 2025, while total reported Scope 1 emissions amounted to 685.433 tonnes of CO2 equivalent. Air Serbia described 2025 as the baseline year for future emissions reporting and said formal sustainability targets are expected to be introduced in coming reporting cycles. The report also provides further insight into the carrier’s future fleet thinking, noting that the Airbus A220-300, currently operated on wet-lease from airBaltic, serves as a reference point for future decisions on fleet composition.

The airline said customer complaints declined by 10.1% during 2025, while its Net Promoter Score stood at 40. Commenting on the report, Air Serbia’s CEO.
