The fourth wide-body aircraft of Air Serbia, an Airbus A330-200, was ceremoniously welcomed at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport today. The latest addition to the fleet of Serbia's national airline carries the registration mark YU-ARE and EXPO 2027 livery. It was manufactured in 2014 and features a configuration of 22 seats in business class and 240 seats in economy class
“Our new aircraft for long-haul flights is an important addition and will contribute to further expanding our network of destinations. As the national airline, we want to offer strong support to the specialised EXPO 2027 exhibition, which will take place in Belgrade from 15 May to 15 August 2027, and that is why this aircraft is adorned with that logo. We hope that passengers will enjoy the comfort that YU-ARE provides and that their flights to North America and the People's Republic of China will be enjoyable,” said Jiri Marek, CEO of Air Serbia.
"The visual identity of EXPO 2027 on the new Air Serbia aircraft represents another strong symbol of Serbia's connection with the world and the opportunity that Belgrade has to present itself on the global stage through this specialized exhibition. This aircraft, which will connect Belgrade with key international destinations, simultaneously carries a message about the importance of EXPO 2027 and contributes to its worldwide recognition. We are proud that EXPO 2027 is already receiving such significant support," said Dušan Borovčanin, CEO of EXPO 2027 Belgrade d.o.o.
