Serbia ready to resume air traffic on 18 May
Belgrade,
29 April 2020
Mihajlovic said in a live appearance in the morning programme of Radio Television of Serbia that we did not shut airports, but that regular flights were abolished everywhere and recalled that the Belgrade Nikola Tesla airport has been open all the time for bringing humanitarian assistance and Serbian citizens from abroad.
Our proposal is to resume passenger flights from the airports in Belgrade, Nis and Kraljevo on 18 May. However, if Europe does not open by this date, Serbia will not be able to either, she said.
Mihajlovic underlined that during the coronavirus epidemic one of the main measures was to halt passenger transport, but those measures are not gradually being lifted. Intercity transport will resume as of 4 May and public transport in Belgrade and Nis as of 8 May.
On the other hand, freight traffic has been functioning since the outbreak of the epidemic and that will help us to survive the crisis economically to a great extent.
