Serbia plans to begin operating flying cars by 2027, President Aleksandar Vucic said at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on January 21.

The announcement was met with derision at home, with some media outlets dismissing the plan as “science fiction”. Indeed, for a country that has been waiting a century for a metro in its capital city, flying cars seem light years away.

Nonetheless, Vucic said that discussions were already underway with Archer Aviation, an American company renowned for its innovations in flying car and drone technology.

“We have started to negotiate the purchase of at least three aircraft,” Vucic told Serbian media, describing Archer as “one of the most famous companies dealing with flying cars, unmanned aircraft and flying trains”.

Serbia is also exploring partnerships with Chinese companies that have already deployed flying cars in several cities.

The president said that Serbia aims to finalise regulatory frameworks and technical preparations by mid-2026, paving the way for the introduction of flying cars the following year.

The ambitious timeline coincides with Expo 2027, an international exhibition set to take place in Belgrade, where Serbia plans to show off its infrastructure development and technological progress.
