Airports of Serbia

Airports of Serbia, known in Serbian as Aerodromi Srbije, is a state-owned Serbian public enterprise established by the Government of Serbia on 2 February 2016. Its remit is the ownership, operation, management, development, and maintenance of airport infrastructure in Serbia and, potentially, the surrounding region. The company’s head office is located at Niš Constantine the Great Airport in Niš. The enterprise was created as an instrument for consolidating the management of Serbia’s airport infrastructure. According to the available reference material, Airports of Serbia operates five airports in Serbia. Its stated institutional role extends beyond day-to-day airport administration: it is also responsible for infrastructure development and maintenance, with the broader objective of making airport management more coordinated and efficient across the country. Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport is the principal exception to the company’s domestic airport portfolio. It is not operated by Airports of Serbia; its operation is handled by Vinci Airports, part of the French Vinci group. This separation makes Airports of Serbia primarily the state platform for airports outside the Belgrade concession or operating arrangement. The company’s regional ambitions are represented by the planned Trebinje Airport in Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The available material describes Airports of Serbia as owning the company responsible for the airport, which was under construction as of 2025. If completed and operated as planned, Trebinje would be the first airport outside Serbia owned and operated by Airports of Serbia. Airports of Serbia is therefore best understood not as a passenger airline or consumer-facing travel brand, but as a public airport infrastructure owner and operator. Its activities center on airport operations, asset stewardship, capital development, maintenance, and coordination of public aviation infrastructure. Passenger services are delivered through the airports it manages rather than through an airline business of its own. The reference material does not provide verified financial figures, passenger volumes, employee numbers, detailed organizational information, or a complete airport-by-airport operating profile.

Airports of Serbia was created by the Government of Serbia on 2 February 2016 as a state-owned public enterprise dedicated to the country’s airport infrastructure. Its creation established a public institutional vehicle for managing and developing airports outside the operating arrangement for Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport. The company’s responsibilities include airport management, infrastructure development, and maintenance in Serbia and the surrounding region. This remit gives it a role broader than that of a single-airport operator: Airports of Serbia is intended to coordinate the stewardship and expansion of multiple public aviation assets. The available reference describes the company as owning and operating five airports in Serbia, although it does not provide a complete airport list in the supplied material. The company’s headquarters are at Niš Constantine the Great Airport in Niš. The airport serves both as an operating asset and as the administrative base of the national airport-management enterprise. Through its airport portfolio, Airports of Serbia supports the operation of scheduled and other passenger-airport facilities, while also maintaining the infrastructure required for continued airport use and development. Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport remains outside Airports of Serbia’s operating portfolio. It is operated by Vinci Airports, the airport subsidiary of French conglomerate Vinci. Consequently, Airports of Serbia does not represent the operator of every Serbian airport; rather, it is the state-owned operator for the airports assigned to it, with Belgrade treated as a separate major-airport arrangement. The enterprise has also acquired a regional dimension through the planned Trebinje Airport in Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The available material states that Airports of Serbia owns the company operating the project and identifies Trebinje as being under construction as of 2025. The project is intended to become the first airport outside Serbia owned and operated by Airports of Serbia. The stated strategic goal is for all Serbian airports other than Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport to become part of Airports of Serbia. Such consolidation would be intended to simplify governance and improve the efficiency of airport management. The available sources do not establish whether that objective has been fully achieved, nor do they provide detailed financial, passenger, staffing, or performance data. Airports of Serbia’s documented identity is therefore that of a public infrastructure enterprise whose central activities are airport ownership, operations, development, maintenance, and possible regional expansion.
