On April 21, with flight JU594 operated by an Airbus A320 aircraft, Air Serbia established for the first time direct flights between Belgrade (BEG), Serbia, and Valencia (VLC), Spain.
The Serbian national airline will operate to its third destination in Spain twice a week: on Wednesdays and Saturdays during April and May, and from the beginning of June, on Thursdays and Sundays.
On that occasion, a ceremony was held, attended by the Ambassador of Spain to Serbia, SE Raúl Bartolomé Molina, the Ambassador of Serbia to Spain Katarina Lalić-Smajević, and representatives of Air Serbia and the airport.
«We are very pleased to start the new expansion of our network by launching the Valencia service and strengthening our presence in Spain,» said Boško Rupić, General Manager Commercial and Strategy of Air Serbia.
«Spain is a traditionally interesting market for our passengers and a very popular summer vacation destination, and this is further evidenced by the high demand and good occupancy factor on flights to all our destinations in this Mediterranean country in the coming period,» concluded Rupić.
Valencia: year-round sunshine
The company hopes to attract Serbian tourists to Valencia, which is located on the Mediterranean coast, and is known as a city of culture, good entertainment and gastronomy, but also for its beaches and 300 days of sunshine a year.
Air Serbia’s flights to Valencia provide convenient connections to numerous cities via Belgrade with the company, such as Athens, Bucharest, Dubrovnik, Larnaca, Podgorica, Sarajevo, Skopje, Sofia, Split, Thessaloniki, Tirana and Tivat.

In addition to Valencia, the company is present in Madrid (MAD), Barcelona (BCN) and from June 11 will land in Palma de Mallorca (PMI) with seasonal flights until October 29, twice a week, on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
Air Serbia operates to Madrid with two weekly flights and to Barcelona with three weekly flights. Recently, the company decided to expand the seat offer to the Catalan city by replacing one of the weekly Airbus A319 flights, with 144 seats, to Airbus A330-200 with 257 seats.

This makes it the leading airline between Spain and Serbia. Vueling and Wizz Air operate only between Belgrade and Barcelona with two and three weekly flights respectively.
VLN? ????, Valencia is VLC
I wouldn’t book a flight with Air Serbia. I made a horrible experience with them. In my case, also the Federal Agency of Civil Aviation (of Switzerland) confirmed me, that Air Serbia regularly breaks the law and simply doesn’t reply to complaints when it suits them.. A stupid call center agent even admitted it on the phone (that they break the law).
Save yourself the trouble and best use another airline 😉
