March 14 (SeeNews) - The Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA), which manages Toronto’s Pearson Airport, is still working on establishing flights to Serbia’s capital Belgrade, regional media reported on Thursday.
“Serbia continues to be a target for Toronto Pearson to expand our global reach, and we are working closely with new and existing partners on how we can better serve both Serbia and Canada”, the GTAA said, as quoted by news portal EX-YU Aviation.
“There is always competition if the next destination [in North America] will be Toronto or Miami. Toronto has a large diaspora, but also high seasonality. Miami, on the other hand, is a year-round destination,” Air Serbia CEO, Jiri Marek, was quoted as saying.
Last month, it was reported that Air Serbia could announce the launch of flights connecting Belgrade and Miami, Florida by the end of this year.
The news portal reported last March that Air Serbia was considering the launch of flights to Miami and Toronto, in Canada.
Serbia and Toronto were last connected with direct flights in 1992. In the United States, Air Serbia currently operates flights from Belgrade to Chicago and New York.
