Air Serbia Resumes Direct Flights to Toronto After Three Decades
After more than three decades, Air Serbia will once again connect Belgrade and Toronto, restoring a route that many passengers have been waiting for. The launch is a big step in expanding the airline’s transatlantic network and strengthening economic, cultural, and community ties between the two countries. It also answers years of demand from passengers hoping to see this route return.
The new seasonal service will begin on 23 May 2026, operating twice a week - on Wednesdays and Saturdays, using Airbus A330-200 aircraft. Tickets will be available from October 16, 2025, through Air Serbia’s official website, contact centre, and sales offices. The route will be the airline’s first connection to Canada since JAT’s final Toronto flight in 1992, and one of the most notable relaunches in its recent history.
Following the success of its direct routes to New York and Chicago, Toronto will become Air Serbia’s third North American destination. The carrier expects strong interest from the large Serbian community in Canada, as well as travellers from across Southeast Europe. With convenient links through Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport, passengers will be able to continue their journeys to Athens, Prague, Zagreb, Istanbul, and Bucharest, among many other cities.
The new route also opens fresh options for both holidays and business trips. Travellers can visit Toronto’s lively neighbourhoods, explore Niagara Falls or the Ontario wine region, while visitors from Canada can enjoy Belgrade’s vibrant riverfront, historic sites, and growing food scene. The new service will help reconnect families and simplify business travel between Serbia and Canada. It also cements Belgrade’s role as a key transfer point for flights across the Balkans.
After more than thirty years, this return to Toronto is more than an update to the schedule - it’s a reconnection between two nations linked by history, culture, and migration. The direct route gives the Serbian diaspora a quicker way home and helps travellers discover two cities with shared warmth and history. It’s a story about renewal, opportunity, and a bridge that feels long overdue.
