✈Sarajevo Airport expansion goes as planned

Sarajevo International Airport has announced a public tender for the construction of the project rapid exit taxiway D, which will allow planes moving quicker from the runway after landing to the entrance of the platform. By doing so runway will be available for more takeoffs. The value of the investment is 3.9 million Bosnian marks ($2.2 million US).

The main project

The main task is to increase the number of aircraft operations at the airport and that will be achieved by increasing number of taxiways, currently Sarajevo International Airport has three exit taxiways A, B and C and most of the time in rush hours the aircraft have to, either use whole runway depending on weather conditions, and exit on TXWY C on the end of the runway  or turn around and taxi on the runway, which is very time consuming and is not allowing incoming aircraft to land or outbound ones to takeoff. With this project alone, capacity of landings and take offs will increase by 30%, For example, if we have eight possible take-offs and landings per hour now, building this rapid exit taxiway will increase it to 10 per hour.Author of the project is the IPSA Institute Sarajevo.

Record result

Last month Sarajevo International Airport has served 101.307 passengers, which is 14 percent more than the same period last year.

In terms of cargo in August the airport processed 512.683 kilograms of commercial cargo, representing huge increase of 435 percent, more than the same period in 2014. Thanks to the extraordinary efforts of the entire company, trend of successful business is expected in the future.

✈Who is Norbert Dotterweich and Mitteldeutsche Board Entwicklungsgesellschaft ?

In the last couple of days the name Norbert Dotterweich has been mentioned in Bosnian media in regards to taking over BH Airlines. Government of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina held talks with the above named person, only to find that his name is associated with German virtual airline Rostock Airways. Norbert Dotterweich is 58 years of age and a lawyer by profession, he was the CEO and sole owner of virtual airline Rostock Airways. In January 2014 it was announced that Air Alps will resume operations and start flying on behalf of the German virtual airline Rostock Airways. The first of several planned routes was Bremen-Zürich which started on 03. February. Just 19 days after it was announced that this service will cease on the 28^th of February due to conflicts between Air Alps and Rostock Airways. Mitteldeutsche Aviation acquired controlling stake in Air Alps and a short after the airline ceased all operation. Until the beginning of 2014 he is a completely blank slate when comes to aviation business.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is a lot of questions that need to be answered by the Government of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina to the public, pertaining to the credibility of the above mentioned company and its CEO. Contraindicating information came from the office of the Prime Minister Mr. Novalic about BH Airlines take over. He stated that airline from Germany will take over BH Airlines, while in yesterday’s interview to Oslobodjenje CEO of the company said that in talks with government he never intended of saving BH Airlines, instead he said talks were held about creating a new company. Hopefully this is not going to be another project where tax payers of Bosnia and Herzegovina will end up paying for the unprofessionalism of the government. Corruption is the main factor to be watchful of when it comes to projects like this one. So far all the evidence suggests that this is precisely the case.

Still airport is in need of public transportation service from the airport to the city center. Sarajevo is becoming very popular tourist destination and public transportation to and from the airport will play major role in attracting more tourist, especially when more low cost airlines such as Wizz air or EasyJet start operations to the city.
