Incidents and accidents
- On 18 February 2024, an incident occurred involving Air Serbia Flight 324, which was operated by Marathon Airlines. The Embraer ERJ-195 (registration OY-GDC) mistakenly entered a runway at Belgrade Airport that was not planned for takeoff, resulting in a reduction of the available takeoff distance by half. The aircraft subsequently overran runway 30L and struck runway equipment but managed to return safely to Belgrade without any injuries reported.
