Bosnia gives up on national airline project

The government of Bosnia and Herzegovina has given up on plans to establish a new national carrier following the demise of Air Bosna and B&H Airlines. The Federation government approached both Turkish Airlines and Etihad Airways in an attempt to launch a new state-owned carrier for a third time, although, talks with both have failed. The Turkish airline, which previously owned a stake in B&H Airlines before pulling out due to disagreements with the government, was open to exploring new models of commercial cooperation with the state. However, the airline has shifted its attention to Albania and will instead assist the government there in establishing a new national carrier. Meanwhile, Etihad, which is rethinking its aggressive expansion strategy after the failure of minority-owned Alitalia underlined the big barriers to global growth, has also walked away from talks with the Bosnian government, which suggested a similar cooperation model to that employed by the Serbian government over Air Serbia.

Bosnia and Herzegovina has not allocated any funds for the launch of a new airline this year and becomes the second country in the former Yugoslavia to give up on plans to establish a new national carrier, after the Macedonian government made a similar decision late last year. The Prime Minister of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Fadil Novalić, previously suggested that a successor to B&H Airlines would be established, with the government to invest 2.7 million euros into the new airline, which would initially operate with one leased aircraft. B&H Airlines itself was set-up on the foundations of Air Bosna, which launched in 1994 but ceased operations in 2003 due to mounting debt. Two years later, the government revived the carrier and renamed it B&H Airlines. It ceased operations in 2015 and was liquidated a year later.

Meanwhile, the privately-owned Bosnia Airlines is seeking to establish commercial flights out of Sarajevo with a foreign partner in order to end the "non-existence of any airline in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which could jeopardise the country's role in this sector". The airline, run by Muamer Kalić, will attempt to find a foreign partner at the upcoming Sarajevo Business Forum next week, where it has proposed a joint venture with an initial monthly investment of two million euros, while the total investment would stand at 100 million euros. The Sarajevo Business Forum links up institutional and private investors from all over the world with businessmen and project developers from the region. The objective of Bosnia Airlines' pitch to investors is the purchase of aircraft and the launch of commercial services. The company was set up in 2001.

      I was never a big fan on B&H but I must admit it is a shame they have gone bankrupt. The company did link Sarajevo with some European capitals. None of these have been covered since their bankruptcy. If Wizz Air had come and established a base in Sarajevo then I would say OK, letting B&H Airlines go was not that big of a price. But the problem is nothing has happened at Sarajevo since then except that we have fewer options to fly to Europe.

      Why is everyone obsessed with a Hungarian airline here? I don't see that anyone forbid Wizz or anyone else from flying to Sarajevo. I can’t believe that B&H Airlines was such a massive competitor and threat that they had to sink it in order to allow a Hungarian airline to start flights to Sarajevo.

      Basing a plane there would be too costly in my oppinion. You would have to provide hotel accommodation for at least two batch of crew. The alternative is to hire local crew which is also expensive. If they do fly from SJJ they should start off with 2-3 profitable destinations and the plane could come back to ZAG at the end of the day.

      What does "should" mean? If there's a market for these servcies to the cities you mention, then some airline will offer those flights. If not, then no flights, simple as that. Considering SJJ is a very low yielding market and very price sensitive and at the same time extremely high cost, it makes the economics almost impossible. Until either the yield or cost environment (or both) change, there won't be flights to those markets.

    Bosnia has much more pressing issues then a national airline. Just let Wizz into Sarajevo and problem solved.

      Costs at Sarajevo Airport are too high and that's the main problem. Wizz Air was supposed to announce flights to Sarajevo in November 2015, everything was agreed with Sarajevo management and then a day before the flights were supposed to be announced at a press conference, mafia man Ivica Velican increased fees for unexplained reasons and the whole thing was cancelled.

    I don't understand that Transavia didn't start flights from Amsterdam this year when they started Belgrade, Ljubljana, Sofia and Tirana. There is a market and I'm sure they would have performed well.

      Same as I said above. Even if there is potential the cost of flying to SJJ is too high because of taxes.

    Why doesn't the government set up a low cost airline? Everybody would be happy that way. You have a national airline and you have low cost flights.

      This government and countless previous ones have destroyed everything they have touched. They are incapable of running anything let alone something as complex as an airline.

      That helps you big time if you are lucky enough to fly one of their 28 years old B733s. The average age of their fleet is over 12 years.

      Plus they have a couple of 25 years old B-737-500s and B-767s. Even some of the B-737-800s are 16-17 years old. That's not something to be proud of.

    For a smart investor, Air Bosna could still work with significant investment. Couple of ATR and Embraers Connecting Sarajevo and Mostar with Italy, Poland, France etc for sure would be lucrative. Add couple of flights through Banjaluka and you might have some interesting times at Sarajevo Airport

    Maybe Croatia could set a base in Sarajevo and become a regional leader in Bosnia. That would be great.

    The biggest revolution in Bosnian aviation would be if Banja Luka follows the Nis example : lower the fee to 3 euro per passenger and attract Wizz Air as well Ryanair

      Even though BNX lost chilled meat business at the end of 2014, and will not get it back for sure, the managing board decided to buy a brand new high-loader and build a new warehouse as well.

    I'm constantly reading how Sarajevo should be focusing on Europe and not Middle East destinations. But why? There is huge demand for these flights and as long as there is there will be more and more flights to that region.

      The ME flights (DXB) mostly serve for Khaleeji tourists visiting BiH, very small amount for the Bosnians in the region (diaspora) and further, and the odd group of Bosnians visiting the UAE.

      Euro destinations would benefit Bosnians in BiH, Bosnians in the diaspora, business links to Bosnia (investment) as well as open doors for tourism.
