The European Commission will meet Serbian authorities on 22‑23 September to discuss disputed aviation rules that could affect Wizz Air’s base in Belgrade, where the airline has operated four aircraft since 2011.
Wizz Air warns that the new rules could threaten its Belgrade base and may require the relocation of its four aircraft from Serbia at the start of the 2026/27 winter season on 25 October, saying the rules would effectively prevent an EU carrier from starting rotations from Serbia; the Serbian Ministry of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure says it does not intend to force Wizz Air out or restrict its flight rights, while noting Serbia is in the first transitional period of applying the ECAA agreement and the regulation would remove preferential treatment previously given to one carrier.
