Ryanair touches down in Tuzla

NEWS FLASH


Ryanair introduced services between Vienna and Tuzla yesterday, marking the start of operations to its second destination in Bosnia and Herzegovina after Banja Luka. The budget airline handled 141 passengers on the inaugural flight, operated by its subsidiary Lauda Europe. The carrier is continuing to expand its presence in Tuzla with flights from Stockholm and Memmingen to be launched today. “It was a complex process to bring Ryanair to Tuzla. The airline’s arrival holds huge potential for the future development of air traffic and other sectors in the Tuzla Canton and Bosnia and Herzegovina”, the General Manager of Tuzla Airport, Dževad Halilčević, said. Ryanair competes against Wizz Air on all three of its newly launched routes. Wizz has been Tuzla Airport’s only scheduled year-round operator for years and boasts a base in the city. It plans to put a greater emphasis on its Tuzla operations following the closure of its Sarajevo base this week. It inaugurated flights from Tuzla to Eindhoven yesterday.

    Long overdue. Tuzla must distance itself from Wizz which just reported 390 million euro loss for the last six months including the peak summer season. They close Chisinau base as well from December (citing security reasons which is bollox). Any base can be like Chisinau or Sarajevo, the more operators you have the better.

      It's still the same place as it was in September when Wizz re-opened the base. Nothing changed since and nothing will change until december.

    If 17% of the population in Austria is already foreign and many from Yugoslavia, I would not be surprised that Tuzla has such a good load factor from Vienna in November.
