As of the spring of 2023, Air Serbia will be launching nonstop flights between Belgrade and Chicago (USA).
The route will operate twice weekly as of May 17, 2023 (Wednesdays and Saturdays), while as of June 12, 2023, there will be three flights weekly, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.
The westbound flights will last about 11 hours, while the eastbound flight will last 9hr50min.
This will be the first time in 32 years that there’s a nonstop flight between the two cities. Chicago has approximately 350,000 residents of Serbian origin, and a large number of residents from other countries of former Yugoslavia, as well as neighbouring Balkan countries.
Currently, Air Serbia’s only destination in the United States is New York (JFK), and the airline has been operating that route continuously for around six years now. Then as of December 2022, Air Serbia will launch a new route between Belgrade and Tianjin, China (TSN). Chicago will be Air Serbia’s third long-haul destination.
