JetBlue and Air Serbia Forge New Codeshare Agreement to Enhance Connectivity

JetBlue and Air Serbia have entered into a new codeshare agreement, which promises to enhance connectivity between various destinations serviced by the two airlines. The partnership, announced on August 3, 2023, builds upon a successful interline collaboration since 2016.

As part of the agreement, JetBlue has placed its “B6” airline code on nonstop flights operated by Air Serbia from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Chicago's O'Hare International Airport (ORD) to Belgrade’s Nikola Tesla Airport (BEG). The implementation began on July 26, 2023. Furthermore, JetBlue intends to extend its “B6” code to other flights between Belgrade and various European destinations shortly.

In a reciprocal arrangement, Air Serbia plans to incorporate its “JU” airline code on 25 destinations across the JetBlue network, broadening the travel options available to its customers.

JetBlue CEO Robin Hayes expressed optimism about the potential of the new codeshare agreement, noting that it builds upon a fruitful interline partnership with Air Serbia that dates back to 2016. Hayes welcomed Air Serbia customers to experience JetBlue’s renowned service characterized by low fares and high-quality service.

Echoing Hayes’ sentiments, Jiri Marek, the Chief Executive Officer of Air Serbia, conveyed his enthusiasm about the collaboration, emphasizing that it significantly augments travel opportunities between the United States and destinations within the Air Serbia network, particularly in the Balkan region.
