Summary
There are many reasons for flying to the City of Mostar
and its region, primarily the variety of tourist offers and the economy development.
The City of Mostar is one of the largest urban tourist destinations in Bosnia
and Herzegovina and a university city. The Marian shrine of Međugorje, visited
by millions of tourists from around the world, it’s in the immediate vicinity of
Mostar, only 30 km away. The second reason for arriving to Mostar by plane is
economic. Mostar, as well as the area of central Herzegovina, has significant
resources needed for economic development. The third reason is in the fact
that, especially in the summer months, nearby airports in Croatia (Split is 168
km away, Dubrovnik 146 km) have problems with available capacities. Mostar
Airport could be a quality alternative to such airlines given that it is not
"slot" coordinated, offering airport services at competitive prices,
which is particularly suitable for low-cost airlines.
About Mostar International Airport
Mostar Airport was opened for civilian air traffic in
1965, being primarily used for domestic flights. In 1984 Mostar Airport was declared
an alternative for the Sarajevo International Airport during the 1984 Winter Olympic
Games, thus acquiring the status of an international airport. Thanks to its
geographic location and proximity of the Marian shrine of Međugorje, there is a
considerable interest in operating many charter flights to Mostar Airport.
Mostar Airport is currently at the beginning of a new development period
characterized by significant investment of the European Union in the
modernization of its facilities and purchase of equipment for handling aircraft
and passengers. Having reached high standards of airport facilities and staff qualification,
it is safe to say that Mostar Airport will be a significant economic entity for
the development of the entire Herzegovina region.
An adequate infrastructure and professional staff of
Mostar Airport make sure that the traffic of aircraft, passengers, baggage and
cargo is secure, at the highest level and according to ICAO standards at all
the times. The airport is equipped to handle all aircraft including up to ICAO
"C" category.
