NEWS FLASH


Ryanair has once again called upon the government of Bosnia and Herzegovina to repeal the 1.5-euro passenger departure tax at the country’s airports, which was reintroduced last week after a year. It comes after Ryanair launched five new routes from Bosnia and Herzegovina’s capital last week. The carrier’s Head of Communications for CEE and Baltics, Alicja Wójcik-Golębiowska, said, “Ryanair was pleased to see the first flights of our new summer 2025 routes from Sarajevo to Baden Baden, Barcelona, Dusseldorf, Paris and Sweden take off, carrying lots of happy holidaymakers and marking the beginning of the summer 2025 season. These exciting new routes will operate several times per week, offering our Bosnia and Herzegovina customers even more choice at the lowest fares when booking their summer getaways”. She added, “If Sarajevo Airport wants to continue to attract investment from Ryanair, including the potential for based aircraft, it must remain competitive versus the likes of Albania, Hungary, Italy and Sweden, all of whom are abolishing aviation taxes and lowering access costs to secure valuable traffic growth. Ryanair calls on the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina to reverse its decision to reintroduce aviation taxes to support the continued growth of the country’s aviation and tourism sector, in addition to ensuring its citizens have access to Europe’s lowest fares”.

    We urge Ryanair to grow even more in Bosnia and Herzegovina. There is also Mostar which desperately needs their flights.

      I urge them to disappear from the face of the Earth and stop racketeering towns and municipalities. And as for you, you should ask yourself exactly WHY it is that nobody has money, WHY it is that despite rising productivity there is no salary growth (except corrected for inflation), WHY ..
      But it's easier to wine for some charity.

      Take your pills dude. EU countries are richer than they've ever been but people use Ryanair because there's no point paying 3 times the price to fly with Lufthansa and get the same service.

      This mentality alone is reason enough why Balkan is, and will remain, poor.

      Well because everyone else has to pay, how would you feel if you had to pay for the same thing that I wouldn’t?

      Let’s say you have to pay 100k per year so you can live in your house but I do it for free in the same house…? You wouldn’t be happy about it and would demand same terms and conditions

      The difference is that Ryanair brings volume, so it is perfectly legitimate for it to get volume discounts and pay less than everyone else if it's the biggest. Or do you want Ryanair to pay Zadar the same that Luxair pays Zadar?

    Almost sounds like one last attempt to get rid of the taxes before they get up and leave?

    Most people who are willing to pay €29 for a ticket, are also willing to pay €39 for a ticket. So if the €1.50 is so big a problem for Ryanair, they can increase ticket prices (as long as we're not talking about drastic increases). Very weird airline...

      You just don't get it. This is Bosnia, not Dubai.

      1.5 euros for every passenger carried is not a small amount.

      If Bosnians stopped smoking they could afford Eur1.50 extra per ticket
