✈ Sarajevo airport: analysis of winter flight schedule

Detailed analysis of flight schedule in upcoming winter timetable of flights. Analysis is based on the airlines scheduling system with flights to and from Sarajevo. Winter timetable of flights is running from November 1^st to March 31^st, 2017. During winter months Sarajevo International Airport  is experiencing problems with fog and very low visibility, causing flight cancellations, delays and diversions. For Sarajevo International Airport major restrictions is a mountain terrain close to the airport, that requires a high approach, precision and a big inclination angle in a procedure of unsuccessful approach (go around) and landing.  Sarajevo International Airport is equipped with ILS CAT I. Implementation of ILS categories (CAT II or CAT III) is impossible due to the position of the airport in the urban area and the terrain in front of the runway that should be free of obstacles for at least 1000 meters.
