Atlas Global didn’t have much success operating regular scheduled flights to Sarajevo from its hub at Istanbul Ataturk Airport, the airline introduced flights from Istanbul to Sarajevo in June of last year, just to discontinue them in November due to low demand and very strong competitions from Turkish Airlines and Pegasus Airlines. Atlas Global is present on Bosnian market with charter flights to Antalya and religious Hajj charter flights from Sarajevo to Saudi Arabia.

✈Wizz Air to launch Tuzla-Vienna flights


Wizz Air has announced its first destination in 2018 from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Tuzla will be connected to Wizz Air’s new base at Vienna Airport. New service will start on April 27. 2018. and will operate year-round, three times weekly on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. With new flights from Vienna, Wizz Air will discontinue its service from Tuzla to Bratislava (which was alternative for Vienna Airport). Last 20 years Austrian Airlines was holding monopoly on flights between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Austria, making these short flights very expansive. With arrival of healthy competitions from low cost carriers we can expect price of airfares of Austrian Airlines service from Vienna to Sarajevo to significantly go down.
