On March 27th, FlyBosnia operated
a rescue flight from Rome to Sarajevo on behalf of Bosnian Government, bringing
stranded Bosnian citizens back home from Italy. Bosnia and Herzegovina Ministry
of Foreign Affairs announced that the repatriation of Bosnian citizens from Italy
was successfully implemented for the first time in history at the initiative of
Bosnia and Herzegovina Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bisera Turković.
Bosnian citizens were
successfully returned to our country after being “stuck” in Italy during a
coronavirus pandemic, and a decision to return them home was made by the Bosnian
Government. Flight price of 50.000 Bosnian Marks (€25.000) was paid by the Government.
Most of the 47 passengers on the flight were minors who were in Italy due to the sporting event, but due to majority of flights from Italy being canceled they
could not make it back home to Bosnia. It was urgent and necessary to bring the minors back home and unite them
with their families. In this case the Government did the right thing in
protecting its citizens and helped when help was really needed.
47 Bosnian citizens flew directly
from Rome to Sarajevo, all passengers and airline stuff were dressed in personal
protective suits and were required to wear masks and gloves. The airplane was
completely disinfected according to the World Health Organization procedures.
