Air Serbia Doubles Flights to Moscow In As Russians Utilize Serbia as a getaway to reach EU

Contrary to a huge number of European countries that have barred Russian airline companies from its airspaces, Air Serbia has doubled flights between the capital of Russia and Belgrade with 15 flights per week, compared to seven.

Even though Serbia isn't a part of the European Union, whose authorities unanimously issued sanctions and prohibited Russian flights from their airspace. Serbia is trying to be an EU member but it didn't condemn Russia's aggression nor prohibit flights between Russia, visaoperations.com reports.

Serbia is one of the only a handful of European nations that haven't adopted the same approach as other nations, leaving the airspace accessible to Russia despite Russia's massive assault on Ukraine.

Serbia's decision permits Russia to use the country as a gateway for the other European countries. Russians are now entering Serbia and then traveling to other European countries, including Cyprus, Switzerland, France, Italy, the UK, Slovenia, Germany, and Austria as top destinations.

The Belgrade-based airline Air Serbia has doubled the number of flights flying from Moscow towards Belgrade in an attempt to boost the number of passengers due to EU countries' decision to exclude Russian airline companies from airspace.

In this context, ForwardKeys stressed the capacity between Russia and Serbia increased by 50 percent in the first march week, as compared to the week prior to Russia entering Ukraine and it is anticipated that the capability will grow in the next few weeks.

The Russian aggression in Ukraine has forced authorities in European nations to tighten up to the sanctions against Russia and has been considered to be the most severe that has ever been imposed by the EU has ever imposed against a third country.

Furthermore, authorities from the EU countries barred entry to many Russians and shut down the state-owned publications Russia Today and Sputnik, and attacked the regime of Belarus's President Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, insisting that he's involved in the attacks against Ukraine.

In addition, EU Commission president Ursula von der Leyden declared that the EU prohibited Russian aircraft from providing services within its airspace.

The decision has a significant impact on the duration of flights between various destinations, as the most recent report issued by Eurocontrol disclosed.

The authorities of Serbia haven't implemented similar measures to Russia, Air Serbia warned passengers that they may be being subject to longer flight durations as it announced that the airline will increase the number of flights.

"Due due to the present situation We notify our clients that the changes to the routes of flights affect our flights, which results in delays in flight," the airline stated.

Although Serbia is seeking to join the European Union, its government's decision not to put sanctions on Russia is a point of contention with numerous European politicians.
