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.
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:
Common Air Serbia Complaints
Below is a list of the most frequent types of Air Serbia complaints, and luckily, for passengers, anyway, some of these issues (if certain conditions are met) can require compensation from the airline. This can amount to up to €600.
- Flights delayed by 3 hours or more.
- Cancelled flights without at least 14 days’ notice.
- Denied boarding, which occurs when an Air Serbia flight gets overbooked.
- Missed connections.
- Lost, damaged, or delayed bags.
- Poor customer service.
Air Serbia Passenger Rights
Regulations exist called EU261 and UK 261 that guide part of the Air Serbia complaints process for many of the complaints listed above. The catch? This is EU and UK-based legislation, so your Air Serbia flight has to depart from an airport in these two areas to qualify.
Covered by EU 261 | Covered by UK 261 | Compensation Eligibility | |
Flights arriving at UK airports | No | No | None |
Flights leaving airports in the UK | No | Yes | From £220 to £520 |
Flights arriving at EU airports | No | No | None |
Flights leaving airports in the EU | Yes | No | From €250 to €600 |
Once it’s established that your Air Serbia trip qualifies initially, there are a few more hoops to jump through to guarantee compensation. Your flight must be cancelled without a minimum of 14 days’ notice, and for delays, you must be delayed by at least 3 hours at your final destination. Then, compensation is generally based on flight distance:
Delay Time at Destination | Flight Distance | |||
Flights less than 1500km | Internal EU flights over 1500km | Non-internal EU flights from 1500km to 3500km | Non-internal EU flights exceeding 3500km | |
Under 3 hours | €0 | |||
3 hours or more | €250 | €400 | €400 | €600 |
There are further regulations pertaining to luggage, and those are the Warsaw Convention and the Montreal Convention. When filing Air Serbia complaints for mishandled luggage, it’s possible to get up to €1300 in compensation.
Lastly, customer service-related complaints don’t have a specific regulation. But it’s good to know that when you file an Air Serbia complaint in this category, the airline can work to improve, and they may even reward you with a discount or voucher.

Tips For Your Next Air Serbia Complaint
- Submit your complaint right away. Otherwise, you run the risk of losing both necessary documents (photos, correspondence, boarding passes, etc) and details.
- 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.
- Ask for what you want. Make your expected resolution clear and even reference the EU or UK regulations if necessary.
- Facts are your friend. Avoid lengthy explanations and stick to the hard and true facts.
