Yugoslav Air Transport Reviews

Always crowded and slow to crawl like slugs, they don't care how many people wait

Nikola Tesla Belgrade Airport formerly known as Belgrade Airport or Surcin Airport; it is the largest airport in Serbia and an important hub for Belgrade's transport network.

The airport in honor of Nikola Tesla has been named today since 2006. The airport is located 18 km west of downtown Belgrade. From the airport to regular air transport passengers transported 33 airlines to 91 destinations in 38 countries on 4 continents.

Aerodrom Nikola Tesla is the parent hub airline Air Serbia, the national airline of the Republic of Serbia. The airport is the hub of the low-cost Vizer airline, followed by the Government of the Republic of Serbia and Er Pink airline taxi services, Prince Aviation, Infinit Aviation and Eagle Express. 5,651,105 passengers passed through the airport in 2018.

International company "Vinci Airports' concession has taken over the management of the Airport Nikola Tesla from 21 December 2018.

A small and tidy airport. Everything is calm and functioning properly. There is free WiFi in the field. Spacious duty free with reasonable prices.

Place is growing and one day I'll add a 6th star to this five :)

Ever since the foreigners took over the airport, everything has been cleaner, better, faster ...

Regional international airport with short ways for transfer flights. Becomes a regional hub since Air Serbia is co-owned by Etihad Airlines (49%) and the Government of Serbia.
Unusual: the passport control for transfers takes place at the gate.
Good: very cheap for drinks, eateries, etc.

Small airport, easy to reach all gates within few minutes. IMPORTANT for passengers that arrive to the airport, don't take TAXI from the people offering service in the hall. Just ask for the TAXi at the desk next to the exit of the building at -1 level. There you will get a coupon with a fixed price depending of your destination.

A really nice and modern airport. The prices are quite high for Serbia's standards, but still lower than most other large airports. Highly recommend going to Gate A when departing, as there's rarely anyone there and the (free) WiFi is good.

Great airport for the conditions of Serbia. It is being touched and will be even richer and prettier.

Quite a decent airport with very clear instructions

I FLEW SRBIJA DO TOKIJA! GREAT EXPERIENCE 5 STAR->*****

Everything works perfectly and in this time of the crown, all praise

Incoming Turkish aircraft are being met and the people are being investigated. Disrespect. You are searched in the boarding room, so even if you are at the airport, you do not have any locked bags.

Your site is completely useless. You give out obsolete information and about the next events almost nothing.

Correction so far, the services work ok, I have no bad experiences, the only thing that spoils the general picture of taxi drivers is their behavior, etc.

Controls go fast. The shops and cafes are but 8 times as expensive as the shops outside the airport. Buy in advance in the city itself, or nacher fals you just landed.

I live in the center of Novi Sad. The closest ATM is 61km from me. Easy walk

The main airport in the city of Belgrade, Serbia. Not too big, there are only two terminal buildings in the form of two floor L, there are several coffee shops and European food.

Relatively small airport, but it does its job. The Air Serbia staff were splendid, even though there were long lines.

Airport is not making any complications and confusions like where to move or how...like in Madrid.

Passport control can be a little better. Somehow it is not well organized when visitors arrive. A counter should be made for parents with children to go as soon as possible.

Everything OK. Baggage Droppass control ,. Security control fast and friendly. (No one in front of me.) Sa 14:30) Only the Gate A6 as a dark rather small room with no windows to the outside is a bit of getting used to and has no toilet.
Since the security check at the gate takes place before going to the toilet.
The duty-free cigarettes cost at least 10% more than in the city!

Security check baggage sceening is wierd.. it's inside every gate.. small airport.. duty-free shopping is not interesting.. closer to city easily accessible in taxi.. be aware of the standard taxi charges to and fro airport..

Terrible airport, even when you wait 7 hours for the next connection. Boring and old airport. No smoking place ... so everyone solves it by smoking in the toilets, including the staff. I do not recommend to fly through Serbia, although it is unfortunately many times otherwise.

The only thing that is stupid is that the lifts are awful!

Beautiful airport which is always expanding its capacity.

July: Undergoing a major refurbishment, probably will be great later this year.

For now, planes fly poorly due to kovida 19 half people are not masks and half are not

One of the worst organized airports. No one knows anything, no one is responsible for anything, wild taxi drivers will jump on passengers, parking horor. The parking charge service has a collective break (!) During which only one salter works so that a line of around 30 people is formed and blocking the exit of passengers to the airport. Tragedy

Embarrassing, especially with regard to food services. ...
And yet Belgrade is now a great city, but it can't get a decent airport ...

There is free internet at the airport and I consider it a big plus. There is also a selection of all sorts of shops. Restaurants as usual at airports are expensive. The downside is the very low quality of toilets.

Very small and very tight turkish irritating to many searchers

Been here due to no option for flights from Zagreb to Athens, so we had to get a connecting flight in Belgrade Airport. This place is lower than 1 star, proper manners was not taught to staffs in general (including restaurant staffs), they tolerate discrimination.

I've been travelling around Europe for years and this is the worst airport so far.

Nikola Tesla's name shouldn't be used for this airport.

Let's get into the subject right away. How can we reach the center of Belgrade safely from here? There are two ways to do this. The first one is the taxi information points at the airport exit. The other buses are also. Having a local currency dinar with you for both vehicles will make your job easier. Sometimes the driver and sometimes a civilian dressed ticket agent are getting paid on the buses. There is no place where you cannot find your way by asking. Have a nice holiday :)

The airport is decent within the context of Serbia. Biggest trap foreigners fall into is that the passport area and security area are 2 different things. Whatever liquids or other prohibited substances you buy after passport control, will block you from getting through security, which is at each gate. It's really a bad practice and millions softdrinks are getting thrown away.

Hello everybody, I'm half Greek half Serbian. Today I'm traveling with my mother to Serbia,we take us suitcase and we are going to check it and to go out. The security guy open my bag and ask me why I have second phone in a box it is a new phone I take it with me if I lose mine.. After this he ask what I have 4 boxes of sigarets with me I buy it in airport of Greece to smoke here. He say to me to pay extra money about that and make me very nervous and complicated my travel.. In the and I pay more 100 to take my things and go home.. He say that's a new law in airports and you can have with you only 2 and half packets of sigarets.. Be careful he have a lot of problems in Serbia and people want to take extra many of everyone..

Very nice airport, now operating on the edge of capacities.

All ok, but when do you think you are taking off your Christmas decoration?

Nice little airport. There are restaurants both before the passport review and duty free which is really expensive. Don't wait to go back.

For me it is the most disorganized airport I know. Very bad information system. If you arrive with a rental car you are looking in vain for signs where you can leave the car, as it is usual everywhere else in the world. No place to park the car. If you want to pick someone up there is no indication where the arrival or departure gate is at all. The check-in counter of Lufthansa opens very late, so that a giant snake has formed. The waiting rooms at the gate are an impertinence, so small and stuffy. Positive is the relatively fast handling in passport control.

Very basic airport!! Security controls in front of each gate !

Big crowds, waiting time for check in, obviously bad organization this time, if it's better next time it might be a better rating, half an hour is waiting for passport control

Beautiful airport, clean. Sometimes airport stuffs are mad, especially cleaners

I have rented a car several times always works wonderfully well. Good service

Small airport, partially renovated with the overall relaxed atmosphere. Services are improving. Easy to approach and to move around.

toilets disaster, lateness, old part like from a horror movie

I had a good experience with the staff and understanding, with a fast pace. All the people were friendly and kind.

Mysterious missing items from the luggage that goes to check. Very bad and unexpected experience.

Proud of our Nikola Tesla Airport. The difference in relation to last year is more than visible. Just like that. Support.

I flew to Belgrade last month for a wedding. The airport is clean, well lit, professionally staffed and signage is conveniently displayed. I found a good number of stores and duty free shops.
This is a true no-hassle airport.

history



airport "Nikola Tesla

The history of the airport in Belgrade begins in 1910. Since then, the airport has changed its location, has grown and developed. The first airport in Belgrade was founded at the end of 1910 at a military exercise in the suburbs of Banjica. Here the flying aviation was shown by aviation pioneers - Simon, Maslenikov, Vidmar and Cermak ...

Because everything is in order and everything is in its place!

Since Vinci french company took over this is like France. Slow, cumbersome, burocratic. It's a mess. Sorry Serbian government, you should have picked Swissport.

Great but the prices of coffee and food are exorbitant ... but the airport as an airport is great

This is the worst airport I've ever been to in my life, the staff at the check in table made me LOSE MY FLIGHT today because they very confidently assumed I needed a QR code to TRANSIT in Greece, they were maliciously rude and disrespectful to the core, screaming how I didn't know that beforehand and denying me travel, turns out I didn't need any code and they made a HUGE mistake, costing me my flight, my time, my mental health, with 0 apologies, at some point they started even blaming me for this. these people shouldn't be working at airports.

They have caused me emotional and mental stress beyond repair, I never recieved any kind of apology at all.

This type of issue is something you see in a nightmare, these people are barbaric and beyond unprofessional, please do not fly in this airport.

Everything was clear, quick and very friendly staff.
Great that the security check takes place directly at the gate, which saves a lot of time. I like the Belgrade airport very much.

An airport that is growing and developing rapidly.
It is already the most important in the region, and with the new partner it will gain even more in each segment.
The cargo center has already received new and modern premises, and a significant expansion is planned.
More efficient work of human resources is expected, and that has been a problem for years.

Rude and unpleasant staff. The plain was like from the early 80's. It will be my first and last flight there !
