The tender for subsidized flights considered to be of public interest from both Niš Constantine the Great Airport and Kraljevo’s Morava Airport saw only Air Serbia applying. The Serbian airline, having held the contract for the past two years, is now set to extend its operations on the same routes for an additional four years. Under the Public Service Obligation (PSO) contracts, Air Serbia will maintain year-round flights from Niš to Belgrade, Cologne, Hahn, Istanbul, and Ljubljana, along with seasonal services to Athens and Tivat. From Kraljevo, the airline will operate year-round flights to Istanbul and seasonal operations to Thessaloniki and Tivat. The total value of the contracts awarded to Air Serbia for the four-year period is just under 34 million euros. PSOs allocate funds for routes that may be economically unprofitable but are considered crucial for the public and the economic development of the region they serve. Consequently, fares for the mentioned routes from Niš and Kraljevo are notably less expensive than those from Belgrade. Serbia's Minister for Construction, Transport and Infrastructure, Goran Vesić, noted, "In the coming period, the introduction of commercial flights from Niš and Kraljevo will also be considered in order to improve connectivity and aid economic development".
