Wizz Air to base fourth jet in Belgrade, launch five new routes
Low cost carrier Wizz Air will expand its operations from Belgrade with the introduction of five new routes and the stationing of a fourth Airbus A321 aircraft in the city. The airline will introduce flights from the Serbian capital to Lisbon, Bergamo, Berlin, Copenhagen and Zakynthos. As a result, the budget carrier will be the sole operator between Serbia and Portugal, while it will compete directly against Air Serbia to Berlin and Copenhagen and indirectly to Bergamo, with the Serbian flag carrier operating to Milan Malpensa. The Portuguese capital is Belgrade’s busiest unserved route in Europe based on indirect traffic volumes.

The new additions to the network will be introduced from late July and early August 2023, with exception to Bergamo which will commence in September. Services to Berlin and Copenhagen will run four times per week, Lisbon and Zakynthos twice per week, while Bergamo will operate five times per week. Wizz Air will also increase frequencies on a number of routes it already maintains from Belgrade. The new additions will bring Wizz Air’s route network from the Serbian capital to 23. Furthermore, with the low cost carrier’s latest network additions, Belgrade Airport is currently set to see the introduction of 25 new routes in 2023.
Commenting on its expansion, Wizz Air's Network Officer, Evelin Jeckel, said, "We are delighted to be expanding our operations in Belgrade and thereby confirming our commitment to the Serbian market, where we are the leading ultra low cost airline in terms of the number of available seats and passengers carried. From July 2023, we will have four aircraft stationed at Belgrade Airport connecting the Serbian capital with numerous destinations. The addition of another jet in Belgrade allows us to further grow our position on the market and offer passengers from Serbia the opportunity to travel to a total of 23 cities in thirteen countries".
