Air Serbia Complaints - Contact and Procedure Info, Typical Issues, and Passenger Rights

Air Serbia Complaints - Contact and Procedure Info, Typical Issues, and Passenger Rights

Air Serbia, the national airline of the Republic of Serbia, has its headquarters in Belgrade and serves a wide network of destinations across Europe, the Middle East, and North America. While the majority of Air Serbia dealings will be positive, there are certain times when you need to make a complaint.

warning

In all of 2023, only 2 new Air Serbia complaints were opened related to Regulation UK261 (0.09% of the total). This represents about 50 complaints for every million passengers.

However, since this airline predominantly offers flights departing and returning to Europe, EU261 is more likely to apply. As a result, we can infer that there are many more Air Serbia complaints for flight cancellations and delays than this.

Whether your journey encountered an Air Serbia flight interruption or you have comments on the service you received, going about a complaint the proper way can go a long way in resolving things to your satisfaction. Here’s the scoop on everything related to Air Serbia complaints:

Air Serbia Contact - UK and Other Areas

The details on how to contact Air Serbia from the UK, the USA/Canada, and other countries are found on the Air Serbia Contact Us page. There are no specific numbers for certain situations, so you’ll use your country’s number for everything, including complaints, EU261 claims, booking challenges, and lost luggage.

warning

The only other way to contact the airline on their website is through a generic form. Similar to the phone numbers, it’s a catch-all for most complaints.  

Air Serbia Customer Service

When you need an immediate resolution to your complaint, it’s best to use the Air Serbia phone numbers. From Monday to Saturday, the various call centres can be reached between 6 AM and 11 PM. On Sunday, the closing time drops to 2 PM. All times are in UTCS+2 time.

Air Serbia Telephone Numbers

There are no after-hours phone numbers for Air Serbia, so make sure you call between 6 AM and 11 PM:

The United Kingdom:+ 44 20 37 695 856
USA/Canada: + 1 (718) 7258642
Australia:+ 61 39 005 56 99

Be warned that charges may apply based on your phone plan.

Contacting Air Serbia Customer Service - Recommendations

  • Have your info handy: To find your reservation and address your concerns, the customer service department will need things like your booking reference, so have all flight-related info at your fingertips.
  • Pick your time wisely: Air Serbia publishes a graph on their website showing how busy the phone lines are. In general, it’s better to avoid the hours between noon and 6 PM, as those are the most popular.
  • Patience is key: The Air Serbia contact methods handle every type of complaint and issue. So, the phone line can get busy, especially if there are widespread disruptions. Have patience because you might be on hold for a long time.

Air Serbia E-mail Complaints

If you’d rather explain your situation in detail or can’t get the online Air Serbia contact form to work, consider sending an e-mail. This can help you avoid long-distance and roaming charges and will allow you to express the complaint fully. E-mails are not as quick as a phone call, so any urgent complaints should not be done this way.

  • General complaints: For UK-based passengers, you can email GSA.UnitedKingdom@airserbia.com, but you’re better off using the website’s contact form (which acts like an email). 
  • EU/UK261 complaints: GUEST.SUPPORT@airserbia.com.

Contacting Air Serbia Using Social Media

Air Serbia does have a team that manages customer service via social media. This can also be a good tactic to draw attention to your complaint if they aren’t taking it seriously. Reach out to the team on Facebook, X (Twitter), Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube and you may get a quicker response than with a traditional e-mail. 

Air Serbia Online Complaint Form

For general complaints and other inquiries, use the Air Serbia contact form on their website. There is a link directly to it on the Air Serbia Contact page. Note that there is a separate procedure for EU261-related complaints, so don’t use the general form for these. 

warning

For any written communication, only English, French, German, Serbian, and Russian messages will receive a response. 

Ideal way to submit Air Serbia complaints

Tips For Your Next Air Serbia Complaint

  1. Submit your complaint right away. Otherwise, you run the risk of losing both necessary documents (photos, correspondence, boarding passes, etc) and details.
  2. Make sure you provide direct contact options for yourself. A mobile number and your email work well. If Air Serbia can’t contact you in a timely manner, your complaint resolution will certainly be delayed.
  3. Ask for what you want. Make your expected resolution clear and even reference the EU or UK regulations if necessary.
  4. Facts are your friend. Avoid lengthy explanations and stick to the hard and true facts

Air Serbia Compensation Form

To fill out the appropriate form, navigate to the Passenger Rights section of the Air Serbia website. Then, use the AirSerbia portal to submit your actual claim for compensation. You’ll need all the same information you’d require if you were complaining by phone - flight number, booking reference, specific details, etc.

How Do You Make an Air Serbia Complaint?

You have a couple of options. You can submit via the portal or online form as explained above, but to make sure they don’t offer you less than you deserve, run your situation through the Air Advisor free compensation calculator first. 

Your next option is to craft your own complaint based on your situation and send it via e-mail. This can cover any type of complaint and may be handy because the EU261-specific form can be tricky to locate. If you’ve never written an airline complaint before or need help getting started, these templates may be useful:

What Happens When the Air Serbia Contact Form Isn’t Working?

Whether you can’t find the form, are getting error/non-compliant messages preventing you from submitting, or the form just won’t load, you can either wait for it to resolve and try again or be proactive and partner with us.

Impossible to get refund for refundable ticket

I bought refundable tickets for my flight, but when I decided to cancel my flight and get refund turned out the only way to get refund is to contact call center email, which doesn't reply at all. I first contacted then month before the flight and several times after that, now it is only one day left before the flight and they just ignore my emails, making it impossible to get refund. So it seems I paid extra charge for refundable tickets which are not refundable in reality, such a scam!

My flight was 3+ hours late. The plane took off at 18.30 and landed at 19.40. I had to spend an extra 100 euros at the airport which I didn't plan to. I've also missed an important job interview, so now I have to wait for another 8 months to be considered for that job position.

No reason given

Sep 20, 2024
I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the delay of flight JU703 from Split to Belgrade on 20.9, which was delayed by 3 hours and 10 minutes. Unfortunately, this caused me to miss my grandmother's birthday, a special family event that I had planned to attend. What added to my frustration was the lack of communication from your team regarding the reason for the delay. At no point was there a clear explanation, nor did I receive any assistance or updates while waiting. I expect a higher level of service from Air Serbia and hope that you can look into this matter. I would appreciate an explanation and some form of compensation for the inconvenience this delay has caused.

The airline offered me a hotel overnight in Belgrade. The next day their direct flight from Belgrade to Bucharest was fully booked, so they booked me another connection flight to Budapest, and then Budapest to Bucharest. I arrived home with more than 20 hours delay.

The flight ju 391 was delayed from Oslo announced departure 11:10 but did not board about until 11:30. The flight ju7599 from Belgrade was delayed furthermore. And it was no information given when we arrived, the info desk was going slow and eventually some other passenger said that new boardingpass was handed out at a gate, where we received it after further waiting time. When i arrived on delayed flight ju7599 in Bucuresti Henri Coanda airport my luggage was missing on the flight. I was referred from tarom help desk to go to several luggage conveyor belts and also at special luggage desk, without Anny luck finding my luggage. I had planned to attend the Rockstadt extreme fest in Rasnov from the same day at arrival, since i had green sone camping ticket from 1 august 2024. I then had to share bolt car transport cost to Bucuresti and rented an air bnb. I was told on the top airport that my delayed luggage would arrive 08:00 2 of august. But it arrived not until nearly 17:00 instead. Then i had to order a bolt car transport to Rasnov since the train was full. Which cost me 195 euros, but i paid cach and therefore have no recipe from the transport to Rasnov. This caused much stress and time for me as well as high extra costs.
