Wizz Air has entered a regulatory dispute with Serbian authorities regarding changes to aviation rules that threaten the stability of its Belgrade base. The airline warns that these developments jeopardize hundreds of jobs and regional connectivity, noting that it has invested hundreds of millions of euros in the country over the last 15 years. Owain Jones, Wizz Air’s Chief Corporate Officer, has called for fair, transparent, and non-discriminatory rules to ensure effective competition. The airline reported that it operated more than 3,000 flights this summer alone and has transported over 14 million passengers to the region. The European Commission is reportedly reviewing whether Serbia’s updated aviation regulations comply with Single European Sky obligations. In response to the situation, a petition to protect Wizz Air’s operations in Belgrade has collected 25,000 signatures. Recent reports reiterate Wizz Air’s warnings to Serbian authorities, emphasizing that the regulatory changes threaten both investor confidence and local employment.
