Frankfurt had the highest seat capacity among Belgrade’s routes to Germany, followed by Berlin and Munich. It was also the busiest route, with 324.771 passengers in 2024.

Belgrade- Germany passenger volume by route, 2024
The German market has struggled to return to pre-pandemic passenger volumes, with most airports still handling fewer passengers than in 2019. However, operations between Belgrade and Germany have surpassed their pre-Covid figures. In 2024, there were 295.986 additional seats on services between the two than in 2019. This will further grow in 2025, which is expected to be a record year for operations between the two countries. This year, Air Serbia will maintain operations on seven routes between Belgrade and Germany, Wizz Air six, Lufthansa two and Eurowings with one.
Air Serbia, Wizz Air and Lufthansa are all increasing operations between Belgrade and Germany this year, with Eurowings being the only exception. The budget carrier has opted not to restore its seasonal service between Stuttgart and the Serbian capital this year, maintaining only flights from Dusseldorf. On the other hand, Air Serbia has increased frequencies on select months this summer to Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg and Stuttgart. Lufthansa has introduced a third daily rotation between Munich and Belgrade this summer season, while Wizz Air is launching flights from the Serbian capital to Friedrichshafen in June.
