[In The News]

DALLAS – Air Serbia (JU) has announced an expansion of its long-haul network, adding a new route to Chicago O’Hare (ORD) and increasing the frequency of its existing route to New York (JFK).

The airline announced in a press release that the route from Belgrade (BEG) to JFK will increase to three weekly flights beginning in the winter of 2022/2023, up from the current double weekly offering.

The new route from BEG to ORD is set to begin service in April 2023, initially twice a week. “We expect great passenger demand for the new flights with Chicago as their final destination, as well as those using the city as a layover for further destinations,” said Boško Rupić, General Manager Commercial and Strategy.

He also stated that the route is expected to be well received by the Chicago area’s significant Serbian diaspora community.
