Launching of Belgrade-Shanghai direct flight for even stronger ties of Serbia, China

Belgrade/Shanghai, 11 January 2025

The first plane on the newly introduced Air Serbia direct flight from Belgrade to Shanghai has landed in this Chinese city today.

The first Air Serbia direct flight to Shanghai also carried Minister of Economy Adrijana Mesarović, CEO of the national airline Jiří Marek, as well as more than a hundred students on exchange between Serbia and China.

The flight went smoothly, and upon landing, a ceremonial welcome was organised for Minister Mesarović and the delegation.

At the ceremony, Mesarović assessed that this direct flight has established another bridge of cooperation between Serbia and China.

The direct flight from Belgrade to Shanghai confirms our firm intention for the community of Serbia and China to build a shared future even stronger, to which we are committed by the signatures of the presidents of the two countries, Aleksandar Vučić and Xi Jinping, on the document that raised the relationship between our two countries to the highest political level, the Minister underlined.

She expressed her belief that by establishing a direct flight to Shanghai, our national airline will become more attractive and competitive in air transport.

The Minister stated that economic cooperation between the two countries has been on an upward trend in recent years, assessing that the launching of this flight will intensify educational, cultural, scientific, financial and other cooperation.

Air Serbia flights to Shanghai will be operated twice a week from Belgrade during the winter season, on Tuesdays and Saturdays, while flights from Shanghai will be on Wednesdays and Sundays.

Flights between Belgrade and Shanghai will continue during the next summer season, which starts on 30 March and tickets are already on sale.
