Sarajevo Airport will see the launch of eight new routes over the next two years, the Government of the Sarajevo Canton has announced. It comes in response to a recent public call by the Sarajevo Canton Tourism Association, offering subsidies to support the launch of additional routes from the city. Low cost carrier Ryanair will outline four new routes at the start of next month, complementing Stockholm Arlanda which was put on sale in October for launch in April 2025. Eurowings will inaugurate services from Berlin next summer season, which begins on March 30, while flights to Hamburg, Dusseldorf and Hannover will commence in 2026. The airline already maintains operations from Stuttgart and Cologne to Bosnia and Herzegovina's capital.

Other new additions to Sarajevo Airport's network next year will include Norwegian's introduction of seasonal flights from Copenhagen, complementing its existing services from Stockholm and Oslo. Wizz Air will commence a new seasonal service from Memmingen between June and August, while Swiss International Air Lines will add operations between Geneva and Sarajevo in 2026, in addition to its Zurich flights. Other airlines that applied for the public call include SnnExpress and LOT Polish Airlines in order maintain their existing routes. "These new routes are the result of incentive measures by the Government of Sarajevo Canton, the Ministry of Economy of Sarajevo Canton, the Sarajevo Canton Tourism Association, and Sarajevo Airport, all working together to improve the city’s accessibility as an attractive tourist destination", the government said in a statement. 

The Sarajevo Canton Tourism Association previously listed a number of cities it deems of strategic importance and for which it will provide subsidies, They include Berlin, Memmingen, Malmo, Gothenburg, Copenhagen, Paris, Basel, Amsterdam, Eindhoven, London, Brussels, Rome, Milan, Budapest, Prague, Barcelona, Girona, Madrid, Geneva, Stockholm, Oslo, Dusseldorf, Athens, Skopje, Izmir, Antalya, Warsaw, Hamburg, Rotterdam, and Baden Baden.
