Belgrade Airport Terminals: Which Terminal for Wizz Air, Ryanair, Air Serbia?
The short answer: stop worrying about which terminal
Belgrade Nikola Tesla is one building. Check-in and security are centralised — since 2022 the airport has run a single security control positioned in front of passport control — so whichever airline you fly, you walk in the same doors, drop your bag in the same hall and clear the same screening. "Terminal 1" and "Terminal 2" survive as labels for parts of that building, not as separate places you could go to the wrong one of.
Belgrade Airport itself publishes no terminals page at all: none of the 857 pages in its sitemap is a terminal or gate map (checked 10 August 2026). That absence is why every guide online, including an earlier version of this one, filled the gap with guesswork.
Landing at BEG and heading north? Skip the queues with a private Belgrade Airport → Novi Sad transfer — fixed price, flight tracked, driver waiting at the departures level. Staying in Belgrade instead? We run a fixed-price Belgrade city ↔ Belgrade Airport transfer as well.
Once you know your terminal, the last piece is getting there: a private Novi Sad to Belgrade Airport transfer drops you at the right terminal for a fixed €59, with flight tracking. All of our Belgrade Airport transfer routes are listed together.
Novi Sad ↔ Belgrade Airport from €59 — fixed price, pay the driver, free cancellation up to 24h.
Check my priceWhat we measure ourselves: arrivals
We record the Belgrade Airport arrivals board continuously, because our drivers meet those flights. Between 29 July and 8 September 2026 that is 5,675 board readings across 307 flights, and every single one arrived at Terminal 2 — Wizz Air, Turkish Airlines and SWISS included. Terminal 1 did not appear once.
That is not in conflict with the paragraph above. beg.aero's airline pages describe where an airline checks you in, and check-in is split between the buildings; arriving passengers come through Terminal 2 regardless. If you are landing, the terminal question is settled. If you are departing, your boarding pass is still the only thing that decides it.
What the airport's own pages actually say
An earlier version of this guide listed every major airline as "T2". That was wrong: beg.aero's own airline pages place Wizz Air, Turkish Airlines and SWISS at Terminal 1, and Austrian Airlines at "Terminal 1, Level 0". Its English airline directory lists 26 carriers and does not include Ryanair, Aeroflot or Etihad at all.
We are not going to replace one confident list with another. The honest position is that the airport does not maintain a public per-airline terminal map, the labels move with gate allocation, and your boarding pass and the departure monitors are the only current sources. What follows is what those labels are actually attached to.
The old list, for reference — treat every line as unverified:
- Wizz Air — T2
- Ryanair — T2
- Air Serbia — T2 (main hub)
- Lufthansa — T2
- Turkish Airlines — T2
- Aeroflot — T2
- Etihad — T2
- Qatar Airways — T2
- SWISS — T2
- Austrian Airlines — T2
Where the "two terminals" idea comes from
Partly history, and partly a sign. The free shuttle bus serving the P11 car park runs with destination boards reading Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 — but its stops are the departures and arrivals levels of the same building, about six minutes apart. Thousands of passengers a week read those boards as proof of two terminals.
The airport's own wording points the other way: across every car-park page it writes "the terminal building", singular.
The thing that actually catches people out: your gate
Gate numbers are not printed on the boarding pass at BEG. Since 18 June 2024 the gate is shown on the monitors only, and announced 70, 90 or 120 minutes before departure depending on the aircraft and route. So the question worth asking is not which terminal you are in — it is how long before your flight the screens will tell you where to stand.
Terminal 1 currently operates gates A7a and A7b, with A7c planned; new gates C15 to C18 are being added to the C wing, C15–C17 with airbridges and C18 as a remote/bus gate.
Connecting at Belgrade
Since mid-2022 BEG runs One Stop Security: arriving from a qualifying country, you go straight to your onward gate without being screened again, via the transfer counter between waiting rooms A1 and C1/C2. Arriving from a country outside the scheme, you go up to the first floor, through one of two transfer counters, and clear security there.
The airport does not publish which origin countries qualify, so the honest advice is to allow for the screened route and be pleasantly surprised.
How to confirm where you are going
- Your boarding pass — for the terminal label, if it carries one
- The departure monitors — the only live source for your gate
- Your airline, if the pass says nothing
One warning about the airport's own English pages: at the time of writing, its "Welcome Airport" and "Plan Your Departure" pages serve untranslated boilerplate about Lyon Saint-Exupéry — references to Rhônexpress and unreplaced "Catch phrase" placeholders. Read the Serbian pages, or the monitors.
Tips for low-cost carriers
- Wizz Air and Ryanair close check-in 40 minutes before departure — don't be late
- Online check-in is mandatory for both, or you pay €40-55 at the airport
- Carry-on rules: Wizz only allows a small bag (40×30×20 cm) free; Ryanair similar
- Security lines can take 20-40 min at peak hours — arrive 2h before departure minimum
Getting from the airport into the city
Once you know your terminal, the next question is how to leave. Four ways, cheapest first:
- Bus 600 — free since Belgrade public transport stopped charging in 2025. About 40 minutes to Beograd Centar railway station, roughly 5am to midnight.
- A1 minibus — 400 RSD, and the one that runs directly to Slavija.
- Official taxi — a fixed fare by zone: 2,700 RSD to New Belgrade, 3,500 RSD to Stari Grad or Vračar, up to 11,400 RSD for the outer municipalities. Collect the voucher from one of the four e-kiosks before you reach the rank; the driver may charge only what is printed on it.
- Pre-booked transfer — a price agreed before you fly and a driver waiting whatever time you land.
Two things most copies of this information get wrong. The fixed taxi zones apply airport → city only; the other direction runs on the meter. And there is no regulated fare to Novi Sad — the zone scheme covers the City of Belgrade only, so any "fixed price" quoted for Novi Sad is that company's own, not a regulated one. The layover guide carries the full zone table and the Official Gazette reference behind it.
Where transfers drop you off
When you book a transfer with us, we drop you off at the specific terminal of your flight. We confirm your terminal before pickup so you don't have to think about it. Arriving instead? Here's how a pre-booked, fixed-price transfer works — the driver meets you at the airport.
How pickup works: ① collect your baggage in arrivals → ② take the stairs or the lift one level up → ③ step outside at departures — your driver waits right there. If anything about the pickup point changes, your driver will contact you directly.
Who is telling you this
This guide is published by Rides.rs, a booking platform for private transfers between Novi Sad, central Belgrade and Belgrade Airport; the rides themselves are driven by licensed carriers. The terminal question is part of what a booking buys: the driver checks your terminal before pickup and drops you at the right entrance — useful at an airport that publishes no terminals page of its own. The fare is fixed per vehicle when you book, and it does not change if the label on your boarding pass does.
