Air Serbia marks Aeroput flight anniversary
NEWS FLASH
Air Serbia is today marking the 92nd anniversary since Aeroput operated its first flight. The historic service between Belgrade and Zagreb on February 15, 1928 lasted two hours, and was preceded by two years of planning and fundraising an airline company. Journalists and photographers from Belgrade landed at the old Borongaj Airport in Zagreb in a Potez 29 aircraft at noon. That same afternoon, the return service was operated with Zagreb-based journalists on board from publications such as “Riječi”, “Novosti”, “Jutarnji list”, “Morgenblatt” and “Hrvat”. The aircraft was piloted by Aeroput Founder and General Manager Tadija Sondermajer. Air Serbia’s CEO, Duncan Naysmith, said, “We are proud that, 92 years after the historic first flight, planes with the recognisable colours of the Serbian national airline fly to as many as 61 destinations, and we will increase that figure soon. We are grateful to our predecessors who bravely paved the way for Air Serbia to thrive today. By nurturing the same fervour and love for flying, we continue to recognise opportunities and overcome obstacles in the extremely dynamic civil aviation market through further development and expansion".
