Lumiwings discontinues Tuzla operations

NEWS FLASH


Lumiwings has cancelled all flights out of Tuzla, just two months after launching subsidised operations from the city. Apart from having poor loads on its flights, a financial dispute has also emerged between the airport and airline. The Greek carrier maintained two weekly flights from Tuzla to Esbjerg, Halmstad, Maastricht, Stockholm Skavsta and Saarbrucken with a Boeing 737-700 aircraft. Services to Istanbul were due to launch next week. All ticket sales have now been discontinued. Tuzla Airport handled 19.171 passengers in January, down 67.1% on the same month last year.

    Esbjerg Airport also announced on its official Facebook page that flights to Tuzla have been discontinued. Sad.

      I said multiple times. Croatia shouldn't let go of Dashes, but should operate PSO routes from EU to the balkans. They could expand in Mostar, Tuzla, Sarajevo, heck even in Pristina and Ljubljana

      Besides, no way they'll be able to fill A220s on Skopje and Mostar routes when even the Dash 8s were struggling with loads

      OU is not struggling in Skopje? In fact they have good LF and there was even an article about that here a few months ago.

    It could have worked with a more reasonable flight programme, including no flights during low months and one weekly flight only per destination except during June-July-August (2 weekly). Lumiwings was leasing the aircraft so they had to fly the aircraft whatever it costed...

    With a different setup of flights and a fully owned aircraft, this type of base would work.

      To is already profitable after Wizz closed the base in Tuzla. Looks like Pegasus have a lot of transfers from Bosnia and Herzegovina. In my opinion, SJJ should be a priority in the development of air transport in the country.

      Ryanair could certainly make Tuzla work, but it will not come if the fees and taxes are not dropped. And that is not happening any time soon.

      Now that they're focusing in SJJ I doubt it, even with dropped fees

    "a financial dispute has also emerged between the airport and airline"
    Jesus Christ, what is wrong with the Greek carriers in ex-Yu this year? Marathon, Lumiwings, who is next? And ironically it happens during the same period of the JU incident.
    Someone has put a bad spell on Greece this year, I hope we do not see any "issues" with Aegean or SkyExpress or Olympic and look, Greek aviation in general is excellent.
    Anyway, the routes also did not make any sense. They were "random villages".

    " Apart from having poor loads on its flights" it is not surprising, the population steady decline not only in BiH but all of the continent and especially Balkans is a huge problem.
    More and more routes will need to be paid to be maintained in the region to stimulate people to travel otherwise there is no other way.

      Chill. The dispute could go the other way. Maybe Lumi didn't get paid the money it wanted to, or it asked for more.

      There is much more to Greek aviation than Aegean, Olympic and Sky Express.

      When Kuzmin-Bijeljina motorway is finished next year, it would make no sense, as BEG airport would be less than 2,5 hours drive from Tuzla.

      Zero Lumiwings flights operated in the last five days to/from Tuzla and both of the airline's aircraft are in Italy. What's your guess?
