In August, the airport served 1,078,299 passengers, marking a 7.4% growth compared to August of last year. The busiest day in August was the 14th, with 39,651 passengers and 357 flights successfully operated. This follows July’s equally impressive performance, solidifying a new era of passenger traffic in Belgrade.
