During Winter timetable 2020-21
Mostar Airport will not see any scheduled or charter flights. Last winter
season, only airline operating regular flights to/from Mostar was Croatia Airlines
with two weekly flights from Zagreb. Croatia Airlines flights were heavily
subsidized by the Government of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and
Hercegovina-Neretva County.
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic all
flights to/from Mostar were suspended in March of this year without any
indication of flights being reintroduced again.
In December of last year FlyBosnia
introduced one weekly Mostar-Rome flights, but due to pandemic those flights
were short lived.
Without any air traffic Mostar
Airport is solely depending on the government handouts for its survival. With Bosnia
and Herzegovina air traffic down 72% compared to the last year only viable option
for Mostar Airport is to be completely closed until March of next year,
possible longer if airport’s management is not able to secure any flights.
