This is the third Airbus A330 in Air Serbia’s fleet ever and the fourth livery that the airline has had on a widebody aircraft. Its first A330 had the standard Air Serbia livery before it was repainted in a “Serbia creates” livery. The second A330 has a special livery with the portrait of Nikola Tesla, a scientist born in Austria-Hungary, on its tail.

The livery on this newest A330 is the second in what is likely to be a pattern of liveries showing portraits of historically significant figures. Air Serbia is following Norwegian’s livery pattern with this scheme. The Airbus A330 carries the registration YU-ARC, and its tail is painted with the portrait of Mihajlo Pupin, a Serbian scientist based in the United States. It was previously registered as ZS-SXW when it was operated by South African Airways, which took delivery of the aircraft in 2011.
