Air Serbia is connecting Niš with Vienna and Malta via direct flights from October
Air Serbia is introducing direct flights from Niš to Vienna and Malta starting from 25 October 2026. Both routes are planned twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays, providing additional options for passengers from the south of Serbia and new opportunities for travel agencies.
Air Serbia is continuing to expand its operations from Niš, and at the start of the winter timetable will include Vienna and Malta in its network from Constantine the Great Airport. The first flights are scheduled for Sunday, 25 October 2026, after which both routes will operate on Wednesdays and Sundays.
Tickets are already available through reservation systems, according to information provided by Air Serbia to sales partners.
Air Serbia is entering two already existing routes from Niš
For the Niš market, it is important that Vienna and Malta are not completely new destinations. Both are already part of the Constantine the Great Airport network, currently through Ryanair flights. The official list of Niš airport destinations lists Ryanair on both routes.
The arrival of Air Serbia therefore primarily means additional capacity and competition on routes that already have proven demand. For passengers, this can bring a greater choice of schedules and fares, while agencies gain another option available through standard booking channels.
Vienna is also important for the business segment
Vienna It is relevant to the south of Serbia due to business, VFR and tourist travel, and also as one of the largest aviation hubs in Central Europe. Air Serbia already displays ticket sales between Niš and Vienna on its official website, including schedules during autumn 2026.
Malta, on the other hand, has a stronger leisure profile, but also a significant VFR component. Two weeks of flights can be interesting for tour operators and agencies that handle shorter individual packages, especially during the winter period.
Greater role for Niš in the Air Serbia network
The expansion of the offer shows that Niš remains an important secondary base in Air Serbia's domestic network. For the tourism market, it is particularly interesting that the carrier is entering routes where low-cost competition already exists. This could open up more scope for fare combining, more flexible itineraries and sales through agency channels.
