PM: Air Serbia to introduce flights to U.S. in 2015

BELGRADE -- Prime Minister Aleksandar Vučić said on Tuesday that Air Serbia increased the number of passengers by 80 percent in April, year-on-year.

"That is good news," Vučić commented during a handover ceremony in Belgrade, when he officially assumed his new office.

He also said that he expected the company to do its business "in the black" by the end of this year.

According to Vučić, "that will be the first time in many years that the domestic carrier will give money to the state, without taking anything from it, as was the case until now."

The new prime minister also announced that Air Serbia would next year introduce flights to destinations in the United States.
