Bosnia and Herzegovina's second busiest airport, Tuzla, continued its growth streak into August by handling 65.352 travellers during the month, representing an increase of 2.5%. Overall, during the January - August period, the airport welcomed 408.159 passengers through its doors, up 15.3% on 2017. Construction work on the airport's heavily delayed expansion project is continuing and is expected to be completed by year's end. As a result, the airport's terminal will be expanded from its current 2.971 square metres to 4.915 square metres. The added capacity will enable it to handle 800 passengers per hour, up from the current 400.
