Brussels Scrutinises Serbian Airline Regulation after Wizz Air Complaint

Low-cost carrier Wizz Air has warned that changes to an air transport regulation in Serbia may force it to withdraw from Belgrade.

The European Commission, the executive arm of the European Union, is reviewing changes to a Serbia’s air transport regulation after Wizz Air complained they undermine competition and may force it to close its base in Belgrade.

In a statement to BIRN, the Commission confirmed it had been contacted by Budapest-based low-cost airline Wizz Air regarding changes made in March by Serbia’s Civil Aviation Directorate, CAD, to the Regulation on Issuing Approvals to Foreign Air Carriers for Performing International Public Air Transport.

“The Commission is in contact with the Serbian authorities on the matter, with a view to checking the compatibility of this Regulation with Serbia’s obligations under the European Common Aviation Area Agreement,” it said.
