✈ 25 million Marks for the construction of Bihac Airport

 


Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina House of Representatives adopted the Budget for the year 2021, within which 25 million Bosnian Marks (12,7 million Euros) is intended for JP Aerodrom Bihać (Public Enterprise  Bihac Airport) on behalf of capital transfers to public companies based on the improvement of air traffic in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The mayor of Bihac, Šuhret Fazilić, emphasized how strategically important this project is:

"This kind of project will revive us,  because it is of great importance for our city and canton connectivity. Our county has largest number of people living abroad, who are using Zagreb Airport as alternative for travel. Also, the development of tourism largely depend on new airport, we could immediately redirect some flights that now come from Turkey to Sarajevo, and go by bus to Bihać. Una National Park, as a carrier of tourism for the Una-Sana County with new Bihac Airport airport would completely revive this area. I am glad that the Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina has included Bihac Airport in  strategic projects and allocating funds for the construction of the airport”.
