Owing to its position on the geographic borderline between the East and West, Serbia is often referred to as a gateway to Europe. Two important European corridors, VII – the River Danube and X – the international highway and railroad, intersect on the Serbian territory, providing excellent connections with Western Europe and the Middle East. Serbia is thus a perfect place for a company to locate its operations if it wants to closely and most efficiently serve its EU, SEE or Middle Eastern customers. Bordering the EU, Serbia still offers a possibility of enjoying all the benefits of working outside the EU while being able to provide services and transport of goods in projected and flexible time frames.
During 2023, Belgrade Airport experienced exceptional business growth, with a record number of 7.95 million passengers, representing a significant increase of up to 42% compared to the previous year.
Moreover, the number of flights is also on the rise, with 83,000 flights recorded during 2023. This figure indicates a 27% increase compared to the previous year, further emphasizing the dynamic growth of activities at the airport.
These impressive numbers demonstrate the increasing importance of Belgrade Airport as a key hub for air traffic in the region. The continuation of this positive trend not only reaffirms Belgrade as an attractive destination for passengers but also as a key player in regional and global air transportation.
Belgrade Airport is located only 18 km away from downtown and, by taking a highway, it takes no longer than 20 minutes to reach the heart of the city. The road network connects the airport with major international roads E-75 and E-70 which link the capital to Zagreb, Nis, Novi Sad, Subotica, and other cities in Serbia and the region.
Air traffic to Nis is less frequent, yet it provides a good international connection to the city.
