Qatar Airways to launch Sarajevo on August 16


Qatar Airways has confirmed it will inaugurate its long awaited three weekly service from Doha to Sarajevo on August 16. Tickets are expected to go on sale this week with the airline to maintain a morning departure from Doha, arriving in the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina prior to midday, before commencing its return journey an hour later. The airline becomes the first of the so-called "Middle East Big Three" carriers to serve Sarajevo. Qatar Airways has previously delayed the service launch on several occasions. Initially, flights were to begin on September 7, 2016 but were later pushed back to November 2. However, ticket sales were eventually suspended and the route was put on hold. The airline said the flights were moved around due to a delay in aircraft deliveries on order. However, with the economic sanctions imposed on Qatar by several Gulf states, the airline was able to redirect capacity and bring forward its plans for Sarajevo.

Qatar Airways A320 business class

Commenting on its new Sarajevo service, Qatar Airways' CEO, Akbar Al-Baker, previously said, “Qatar Airways prides itself on being a global connector, and most importantly, providing seamless and convenient connections for our customers, so that we remain their airline of choice. This new destination is where our customers want to go, and where we see the most opportunity to provide a best-in-class experience at great value. We look forward to growing our network and welcoming new passengers to Qatar Airways". Services to Sarajevo will operate with a 132-seat Airbus A320 aircraft, featuring twelve seats in business class and the remaining 120 in economy, the airline said in a statement. Although both Air Arabia and Nesma Airlines maintain seasonal services from the Middle East to Sarajevo, it is Flydubai that will be competing for transfer passengers against Qatar Airways.

Qatar Airways A320 economy class

Qatar Airways is putting a greater focus on the former Yugoslavia this year. The airline recently increased operations to Zagreb from ten weekly to double daily as of July 1, while capacity on its four weekly Belgrade service has been increased from the Airbus A320 to the A321. It will be followed up with the introduction of an additional three weekly flights from October 1. On the other hand, the airline will commence a four weekly service to Skopje from next Monday and has said it is considering future operations to Ljubljana as well. Bosnia and Herzegovina and Qatar signed a new Air Service Agreement this May, regulating air traffic between the two countries. "As a global airline, we are committed to connecting cities such as Sarajevo and Skopje to our worldwide network. We are delighted to soon be celebrating these new and exciting destinations, connecting business and leisure passengers from the region to Doha and onwards", the airline told EX-YU Aviation News. In preparation for its new service to Sarajevo, the airline is hiring for a number of positions in the city.

      It depends. For example, if it's a BEG route then it's not just late - it is a clear indicator that it's not going to happen in our lifetime. Fake news.

      If it's another exYU destination then it is business as usual, this is how all airlines normally do things.

      Qatar Airways doesn't really worry about profits so its safe to say they will stay in all ex-Yu markets regardless. This gives them enough time to develop the route. Also, since Qatar is hosting the 2022 world cup they want to practically fly everywhere by then.

      They are desperate to put planes that are stored because of ban to ME destinations, in any possible operation. It is cheaper than to have them grounded. Even if that means opening route in less then one month from selling tickets. Look just how unplaned and urgent they upgrade ZAG route to 14 per week.

    5. Anonymous10:26

      Al Baker even said last year or in 2015 that only about 50% of their routes were profitable, 20% break even and the rest were unprofitable.

      Yes, it seems some plans were rushed ahead over suddenly many available 320s. It will take some time for the market to pick up, but presumably TK and EK (in ZAG), FZ/TK in BEG and TK in SJJ/SKP will take unexpected hit in the process. Especially seeing EK already decreasing ops in ZAG with QR actually now more likely to go double daily full time. Inflexibility of EK due to wide body only could become a nightmare for them during winter here in ZAG.....too much capacity and too low frequency compared to competition (QR and TK, but mostly QR) that uses much more adequate equipment for the market. QR will in that case surely aim to go for a kill....

      Route profitability is not that simple; airlines that live on connections do not look at it indiviudally,but with effect to other routes. For instance, DOH BKK can be losing, but makes CDG, MAD profitable etc...P2P carriers look at it individually while airlines like EK/QR/EY and similar definitely always look wider, as their business plan is very different. SJJ itself can be big time loser, but the effect on other routes outweighs it.

      The big issue when Sarajevo is concerned and airlines from the Gulf is extreme seasonality. In winter there are no passengers, in summer you could even fill an A380.

    6. SJJ is one of the rare places in exYu that should be able to smooth out seasonality very nicely considering all the ski resorts that are practically half our drive from the airport. Unfortunately they never managed to develop them properly even with the Olympics and of course the war didn't help.

      Sarajevo Runway is too short for B777 or A350/A380. Might be able to handle half empty DC-10-30 or A330, but that's the limit of the Runway. 2500m simply ain't enough.

    Starting tomorrow, BEG will get charter flights from IKA operated by Qeshm Air's A320. These charters are organized by a local tour operator called Big Blue.

    Things are looking up for Belgrade and this is a step closer to reaching those 5.5, maybe even 5.6 million passengers.

    Also, in the first six months, INI welcomed 150.198 passengers.

      Nice. Good load. Not surprised that they increase to 2 flights pw.

      That is 87,3% LF

    Nice. Now all we need is a few more European routes and that should be a pretty good offer from Sarajevo.

      Fantastic and mind you this is after Germania launched flights. I wonder if they are doing as well.

    2. Indeed. No clue about Germania's loads.

      I wonder if LX could have operated three weekly with their C-series.

    With Sarajevo probably ending around 930 000 passengers this year, and Tuzla around 490 000 (Mostar and Banja Luka are not worth mentioning), how likely is it that Bosnian market will outperform the Slovenian one in terms of passenger numbers? Could it happen this year, or potentially next year, as Bosnian airports will probably continue growing?

      Doubt it. LJU is experiencing strong growth and will reach 1.7 this year.

      What's good is that Bosnia has overtaken Macedonia, so that's at least something.

      Oh really? I thought Skopje + Ohrid were performing better than Sarajevo + Tuzla? That´s nice to hear, finally Bosnia will have an increase in the share when it comes to overall numbers of passengers in ex-Yu. :)

      No it has not. Macedonia has 2 million passengers in total for 2017.

      I don't mind when people share 'unrelated' news, it's interesting especially when it's from countries not too far from our region.

      It's not against this portal's rules. If you mind it find yourself a blog exclusively for ex-YU.

      Qatar is also non-exyu company, so nobody should mention them.

      Only mention the world's best airlines, like Air Serbia, Croatia and Adria Airways and the busiest and the best airports in the world, only in exyu.

      Free speech and all that.

      The difference is when Qatar is launching flights to ex-Yu then it should be mentioned. @8.10 this is a blog exclusively for ex-Yu so I don't think he has to go and find anything. You should.
