During the first nine months of 2026, the airport handled nearly 7.3 million passengers, marking a 7% increase compared to the same period in 2025.
 

In addition to passenger growth, the airport also recorded an increase in operational activity.

The momentum peaked on July 31, when the airport set a new single-day record, managing 40,584 passengers and 378 flights within 24 hours. During the 2026 summer season, Belgrade Airport offered its most extensive network to date, linking travelers to 118 global destinations, including six intercontinental routes.
