Air Serbia has concluded a wet-lease arrangement with airBaltic for two of its Airbus A220-300 aircraft over the upcoming winter season, replacing two GetJet Airlines A320s. As a result, Air Serbia will end its wet-leasing arrangement with Lithuania’s GetJet, which has been ongoing for several years. The 148-seat airBaltic A220s are set to begin operations on Air Serbia’s behalf from November 1. The number of airBaltic aircraft operating for Air Serbia will be doubled to four over the 2026 summer season. A wet-lease is a leasing arrangement whereby the lessor provides an aircraft, complete crew, maintenance and insurance (ACMI) to another airline.
Air Serbia’s CEO, Jiri Marek, said, “We are very pleased to continue developing our cooperation with airBaltic, one of the most innovative airlines in Europe and our long-time codeshare partner. This partnership is of particular importance for Air Serbia, as on our flights, passengers will have the opportunity to travel comfortably and quickly to their destinations aboard modern Airbus A220-300 aircraft”. He added, “We remain committed to innovation and technological development, all with the aim of strengthening our competitiveness in the European market. This type of aircraft will be an important model and reference point for future decisions regarding the composition of Air Serbia’s fleet, all in line with the continued development and implementation of the company’s strategic plans”.
Thomas Ramdahl, airBaltic’s Chief Commercial Officer added, “With Air Serbia, we have maintained a long-standing cooperation for more than ten years, ensuring good connectivity between the Baltic region and the Balkans. Expanding this cooperation through the ACMI agreement supports efficient fleet use and reliable operations for both airlines. The ACMI model enables airBaltic to provide flexible capacity to partner airlines across Europe while maintaining consistent product quality and operational reliability with our modern Airbus A220-300 fleet and experienced crews”.
