Air Serbia Resumes Daily Munich–Belgrade Flights After 18-Year Hiatus
Air Serbia resumed daily direct flights between Munich and Belgrade on 22 May 2026, ending an 18-year gap on one of the Balkans’ most commercially significant air corridors.
The service operates every day of the week with two schedule slots. From Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (BEG), morning departures at 07:10 run on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays; evening departures at 17:55 operate on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. From Munich Airport (MUC), the corresponding times are 09:30 and 20:15. Block time is approximately 1 hour 30 minutes in each direction.
Flights operate on Air Serbia’s fleet, with Serbian-style catering onboard. Business Class includes lounge access at both airports.
Why this matters for travellers
Munich is a major long-haul hub with connections from North America, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East. A daily direct service to Belgrade means travellers arriving on intercontinental flights can connect through to Belgrade on the same calendar day, removing the need for an overnight stop in a third city. Travellers from southern Germany, Austria, and Switzerland also gain a same-day option to reach Belgrade without a layover.
Before this route, the most common Belgrade connections from Munich ran via Vienna (Austrian Airlines) or Istanbul (Turkish Airlines), adding 2–4 hours of transit time. The 90-minute direct option changes the maths considerably for anyone on a short Balkans trip.
Belgrade has established itself as one of the Balkans’ most visited capitals, with a growing food and coffee culture and a common starting point for wider overland itineraries into Bosnia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and beyond. Once on the ground, Belgrade walking tours, food trails, and fortress visits are a good way to get oriented before heading into the region.
The route also works well as an entry point for a multi-country trip: fly into Munich, land in Belgrade, travel overland, and exit from Dubrovnik or Tirana. Our full Serbia travel guide covers entry requirements, airport transfers, and what to prioritise once you land.
Booking
Tickets are available at airserbia.com. Economy fares start below €100 one way. Both classes are bookable directly through Air Serbia’s website, which also handles seat selection and additional baggage.
The Belgrade–Munich route is part of Air Serbia’s recent wave of network expansions, which has also added Baku and revived several other European frequencies in 2026.
