JetBlue and Air Serbia have announced a new codeshare collaboration, which will see flight services of the Serbian national carrier accessible via JetBlue outlets.
The Codeshare Agreement
Commencing from July 26, 2023, JetBlue has strategically placed its recognizable “B6” airline code on Air Serbia-operated nonstop flights originating from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport (ORD).
These flights are directed towards the thriving Nikola Tesla Airport (BEG) in Belgrade. The partnership doesn’t stop there—JetBlue also has plans to extend its “B6” code to encompass flights connecting Belgrade with various destinations across Europe in the near future.
On the other hand, Air Serbia is all set to imprint its “JU” airline code on a spectrum of 25 JetBlue network destinations.

Robin Hayes, the Chief Executive Officer of JetBlue, expressed the company’s commitment to broadening its collaboration horizons. He stated, “We continuously look to expand our partnerships to offer more options to our customers.”
“Air Serbia has been a successful interline partner since 2016 and we see great potential with this new codeshare.” Hayes warmly welcomed Air Serbia’s customers aboard JetBlue flights, emphasizing the chance to experience the airline’s hallmark low fares and exceptional service.
