Air Serbia compensation guide
The airline name alone does not determine your rights. Route, operating carrier and disruption details matter.
Quick answer
Could your flight qualify?
You may be entitled to compensation or other passenger rights for an eligible Air Serbia delay, cancellation, involuntary denied boarding or disrupted connection. The route direction matters because Air Serbia is not an EU carrier; EC261, UK261, SHY-YOLCU and APPR each have different geographic scopes.

Passenger rights
Which passenger rights could apply?
Air Serbia operates an extensive European network plus current services involving London, Türkiye and Toronto. Because it is a Serbian rather than EU carrier, EC261 is especially relevant on qualifying departures from covered EU airports, while UK261, SHY-YOLCU and Canada's APPR can apply on qualifying UK, Türkiye and Canada routes.
European Union
EC261
€250–€600 in qualifying cases
Qualifying Air Serbia-operated departures from airports covered by EC261 can fall under the regulation. Because Air Serbia is not an EU carrier, a flight departing Serbia for the EU is not covered merely because it arrives at an EU airport.

UK261
£220–£520 in qualifying cases
Air Serbia currently operates London Heathrow services. Qualifying departures from UK airports can fall under UK261; inbound journeys are assessed differently because Air Serbia is not a UK or EU carrier.

SHY-YOLCU
TRY equivalent of €100–€600
Air Serbia currently operates services involving Türkiye, including Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir. Qualifying Air Serbia-operated departures from Türkiye can fall under SHY-YOLCU because Air Serbia is a foreign airline.

APPR
APPR rights on qualifying Canada routes
Air Serbia operates direct service between Belgrade and Toronto. Canada's APPR can apply to qualifying flights to, from and within Canada, including relevant connecting itineraries, subject to its disruption and airline-responsibility rules.

What happened to your Air Serbia flight?
Delayed flight
A significant arrival delay may qualify depending on the route, applicable passenger-rights rules and cause of the disruption.
Cancelled flight
Cancellation rights can depend on notice timing, the reason for cancellation and any alternative journey offered.
Denied boarding
Involuntary denied boarding can create compensation, alternative travel, refund and care rights in qualifying circumstances.
Missed connection
A connecting journey booked as one itinerary may qualify when a disruption causes you to reach your final destination significantly late.
Important conditions
What can affect your eligibility?
Air Serbia serves several Travaro passenger-rights jurisdictions, but the same rule does not apply in every direction. Travaro checks the actual operating carrier, departure airport, destination, booking structure, cause and final arrival impact before selecting the relevant framework.
Route direction changes EC261 coverage
Air Serbia is not an EU carrier. Qualifying departures from covered EU airports can fall under EC261, while a Serbia-to-EU flight does not become covered merely because it lands in the EU.
UK departures can fall under UK261
Qualifying Air Serbia-operated departures from the United Kingdom can be assessed under UK261 according to the route and disruption conditions.
Türkiye departures can fall under SHY-YOLCU
Air Serbia is a foreign airline under the Turkish framework, so qualifying departures from Türkiye can bring SHY-YOLCU into scope.
Canada routes can bring APPR into scope
Air Serbia's Toronto service can be assessed under APPR, including its rules on disruption cause, communication, rebooking, refunds and compensation where applicable.
Connections require the full itinerary
For connecting journeys, Travaro checks whether the flights formed one protected booking, which carrier operated each segment and how late you reached the final destination.
Extraordinary circumstances can affect compensation
Events genuinely outside the airline's control can remove fixed compensation under some frameworks, although other care, rerouting or refund rights may still remain.
What to keep
Keep a clear record of the journey
Keep enough evidence to identify the Air Serbia-operated segment, the full itinerary and the effect of the disruption.
Booking confirmation showing all flight numbers, travel dates and the complete itinerary.
Boarding passes or other evidence that you were ready to travel.

Emails, SMS messages or app notifications about the disruption.

Evidence of your actual arrival time at the final destination where available.
Any explanation Air Serbia provided for the delay, cancellation or denied boarding.
Receipts for reasonable meals, accommodation or local transport caused by the disruption.
