The Serbian carrier is expected to report its financial performance by May of this year when it files its annual report. Speaking to EX-YU Aviation News in December, Air Serbia’s CEO, Jiri Marek, said, “From a financial perspective, the year [2025] will certainly be profitable, although we do not yet know the final result. Performance is better than originally budgeted. That said, cost pressures that emerged from June onwards require careful management. This is something we have also observed across the industry, as third-quarter results from multiple airlines have shown a decline in profitability. While our revenue performance has been very strong, costs remain an area where additional efficiencies are needed”. For 2026, the CEO added, “A lot of things are in the pipeline which are not visible but it will be coming soon”.
