Sarajevo Airport handled a total of 74.855 passengers in
June, comparing it to the same month last year airport recorded slight decrease
of 0,16% or 121 passengers less. The main reason for under performance is the Holy
month of Ramadan, when traveling is very minimal due to religious fasting. The airport
has recorded a sharp increase in cargo handled. The cargo increase is fueled with two weekly
cargo flights by Turkish Airlines, transporting fresh meat and meat products
from Bosnia and Herzegovina to Turkey. Cargo flights are operated with an Airbus
330 freighter aircraft. In coming months, Sarajevo Airport is expecting double
digit growth due to a great amount of charter flights to Turkey, and an increased
number of flights to Dubai, Oslo, Cologne, Stockholm and Stuttgart. The end of
month of Ramadan usually brings great amount of tourist from Turkey and Gulf
countries to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Year to date airport handled total of 351.943
an increase of 9,83%.
Projected number of passengers in coming months:
July –88.000
August- 98.000
September-81.000

Too bad the number flopped a bit in June, but hopefully we´ll manage to reach 800 000 by the end of the year :)
