Tuzla International Airport is recording record number of passengers
using the airport, with new flights by Wizz Air introduced last week of the
March. Wizz Air has position itself as the Bosnian “domestic” air carrier
offering the most destinations and seats than any other airline serving Bosnia
and Herzegovina. Wizz Air has a base at Tuzla International Airport with two
Airbus 320 aircraft stationed at the airport. Four years ago, Wizz Air entered
Bosnian market with only two destination: Malmo and Basel. Malmo-Tuzla flights
started on 31.05.2013. with two weekly flights. Flights to Basel followed on
June 15. 2013. Flights were very popular and Wizz air reacted by adding flights
from Gothenburg on 17.06.2013. In the year 2014 the airline started flights
from Dortmund on 19.06.2014, following with Eindhoven on 22.06.2014. In the
year 2015, Wizz air expended its operation at the airport by basing one Airbus
320 aircraft at Tuzla Int. Airport. Ever since Wizz Air has continued to expand
its network and offer more destinations and seats from Tuzla making it very
popular destination in Wizz Air network. Currently Wizz Air is serving 16
destinations from Tuzla and one destination from Sarajevo. This year Wizz Air
is offering around 650.000 seats on its flights to and from two Bosnian airports. Next
year we can expect destination network from Sarajevo to grow, while Tuzla could
see more weekly flights on current destinations. Most popular destination from
Tuzla is Malmo in Sweden. Currently flights to the Swedish city are offered at
four times per week, from next month the number of weekly flights will
grow to five weekly. New destinations that will need some time to develop are
Bratislava and London-Luton, but even these routes have average cabin load factor
over 70%.
