Air Serbia, the national airline of Serbia, has announced significantly improved performance in the first three months of the year with a 66% increase in total passenger numbers to 364,924, compared with the same period in 2013. The airline’s passenger carrying capacity, which is measured by available seat kilometres (ASKs), has jumped 93% resulting in a 47% increase in revenue during the first quarter of 2014. Over the same quarter, Air Serbia inducted three Airbus aircraft – two A319s and one A320 – into its fleet. The increase in passenger numbers is being seen across the network, boosted by connectivity with the Etihad Airways global network.
