Tuzla International Airport is expecting to handle over 250.000 passengers this year, positioning itself as second busiest airport in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Next year the airport is expecting to handle over 300.000 passengers. With such demand to travel to and from Tuzla, it is very likely that in summer of 2016 Wizz air will station one more Airbus 320 at the airport and add new destinations.
