Banja Luka Airport registers busiest month on record

NEWS FLASH


Banja Luka Airport has recorded its busiest month ever this April by handling 31.243 passengers, representing an increase of 150% on the pre-pandemic 2019. The growth is being fuelled by both Wizz Air and Ryanair, which jointly operate a total of twelve routes from Bosnia and Herzegovina’s second largest city. During the first four months of the year, Banja Luka Airport welcomed 58.932 travellers, up 51% on 2019, despite being closed for an entire month due to urgent runway repairs. Banja Luka Airport expects to handle a record 300.000 passengers this year. This summer season, Ryanair introduced a new service from Nuremberg, while Air Cairo will inaugurate year-round flights from Hurghada this Friday.

    Tuzla handled 100.553 in the first four months of this year, and Sarajevo handled 271.978 in the same period, while Mostar is practically defunct - only 176 passengers for the whole period of four months.
    Obviously Mostar airport management doesn't have a clue what to do, positioned close to Medjugorje as a pilgrims destination, also close to the sea, almost in the middle between of Split and Dubrovnik airport, and still - nothing. Good to see that Banja Luka and Tuzla are keeping their operations live, and still not hurting Sarajevo too much. Obviously there is enough demand for all airports.

    Somehow I lost my first line of the previous comment before starting stats of other airports: Great recovery from last year, Jan-Apr 2021 total number of passengers was just 1885, now for the first four months 58.932.
