Air Serbia has become the first airline in the region to carry out a fully electric powered turnaround of two of its aircraft last week. At its hub in Belgrade, and in cooperation with its ground handler Menzies Aviation, the airline’s Airbus A319 aircraft, registered YU-APL and YU-APF, bound for Podgorica and Tivat respectively, were handled and dispatched using specialised electric vehicles for aircraft pushback, baggage transport, and others, reducing the overall carbon footprint. “We are extremely pleased with the successful implementation of the first all-electric turnaround at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport, achieved in collaboration with Menzies Aviation. This initiative represents a step towards reducing the carbon footprint. Air Serbia continuously strives for socially responsible business practices, and this milestone confirms our dedication in that regard. We look forward to future cooperation and, together with Menzies, we will strive to have a positive impact on the entire community”. Air Serbia’s CEO, Jiri Marek, said.
