✈ Mostar Airport Summer Timetable 2025

Mostar International Airport is gearing up for a record-breaking summer season, with expectations to surpass 100,000 passengers. To support this growth, the airport has signed a new agreement with Italian airline Sky Alps to establish a base and launch additional routes. From May 15 to October 12, Sky Alps will station a Dash 8-400 aircraft in Mostar, offering flights to destinations including Bari, Bergamo, Munich, Naples, Palermo, Rome, and seasonal charter services to Corfu, Greece. The county government will provide subsidies for all scheduled flights (excluding the Corfu charters).

Eurowings will also introduce seasonal summer flights from Düsseldorf and Stuttgart, initially operating once a week at the start and end of the season. During peak summer months, flights will increase to twice weekly. These services will also benefit from government subsidies.

For the first time, Mostar Airport will be connected to Istanbul with scheduled flights. Turkish low-cost carrier Ajet will offer a weekly service from Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport to Mostar, utilizing a Boeing 737-800 aircraft.

Meanwhile, Air Serbia and Croatia Airlines will maintain their three weekly flights each to Belgrade and Zagreb.

✈ Banja Luka Airport Summer Timetable 2025

Banja Luka Airport is set to experience an increase in both flights and seat capacity, as Ryanair expands its services to include more flights from Gothenburg and Stockholm. Meanwhile, Wizz Air will ramp up its operations from Basel, offering flights six times a week (daily except Saturdays) for most of the summer season.

Air Serbia, which had initially planned to increase its flights from Belgrade to three weekly services, has now canceled this plan. Instead of offering daily flights Air Serbia will reduce its services from three to just two weekly flights. Given Air Serbia’s lack of interest in developing the Belgrade-Banja Luka route, the airport may want to consider offering subsidies to a European legacy carrier to establish at least one direct connection to a major hub. This would provide convenient one-stop access to wide range of global destinations.

Austrian Airlines, with its five weekly flights to Vienna, or Turkish Airlines, with three to five weekly flights to Istanbul, would be ideal candidates to serve such a route.

Additionally, the following airlines will not be returning to Banja Luka this summer:

• Air Cairo, Hurghada 
• Nouvelair, Monastir
• Tailwind, Antalya

This summer, Tuzla Airport will also see new carriers, including A Jet and Pegasus Airlines, both offering one weekly flight from Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen Airport. Corendon Airlines will replace last year’s Tailwind Airlines, operating charter flights to Antalya.

In comparison to the same period last year, Tuzla Airport will see a significant increase in both the number of flights and seats available. The number of seats offered will rise from 101,880 last year to 246,460 this year, reflecting a remarkable increase of 141.9%, or 144,580 additional seats.

The Prime Minister of Tuzla Canton Irfan Halilagić has announced that Wizz Air will introduce two new routes by the end of summer—Cologne and Gothenburg. Additionally, Wizz Air will establish a base at Tuzla Airport by the end of summer season, with one aircraft stationed at Tuzla Airport. This new base will allow Wizz Air to operate flights to Cologne, Gothenburg, and Vienna directly from Tuzla, while routes to Basel, Dortmund, and Memmingen will be serviced by aircraft from other Wizz Air bases.
