Serbian PM waves off flag carrier's first China flight in two decades

Air Serbia on December 9 resumed flying to China after a 22-year hiatus, with Prime Minister Ana Brnabic leading a government delegation present for takeoff from Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport.

The flight to Tianjin was to be the first in a weekly service and marks a "new chapter" in Air Serbia's operations, according to chief executive Jiri Marek.

Joining the prime minister for the send-off were Goran Vesic, the transport minister, his tourism counterpart Husein Memic, and Chen Bo, China's ambassador to Serbia.
