From September 24, FLYBOSNIA will connect Sarajevo with
London Luton Airport with three flights per week with plans to increase it to a
daily flight / seven times a week over the next 12 months. The flights will be
operated by an Airbus A319-112 aircraft, providing seating for 150 passengers. Tickets
can be purchased through FlyBosnia offical website www.flybosnia.ba starting today.
Promotional tickets starting from 11 Euros.
"I had a productive conversation with FLYBOSNIA CEO Mr.
Tarik Bilalbegovic. We talked about reestablishing flights between Bosnia and
Herzegovina and the United Kingdom. It will be good for tourism, business and
strengthening ties between the two countries, "said British Ambassador to
Bosnia and Herzegovina Mr. Matthew Field. Sarajevo is the undiscovered tourist
gem of Europe, a business bridge between East and West, and with a dramatic 23%
+ annual growth in the tourism sector, which is directly creating jobs in Bosnia
and Herzegovina.
"The great news is connecting Sarajevo and London,
especially since it is done by a domestic company. It is extremely important
for Sarajevo to build relationships and connections with true metropolises. I
expect that this move will have direct positive economic consequences for
Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina. I congratulate the management and wish
them success,” said Sarajevo Mayor Mr. Abdulah Skaka.
FLYBOSNIA is currently flying to Riyadh, Jeddah, Bahrain,
and Kuwait while regular flights to Rome and Paris are expected to open in the
next 3 months. FLYBOSNIA has already transported 20.000 passengers and have
plans for the next year for that number to be around 100.000 passengers,
directly producing an economic boost to economic development through
consumption and related VAT.
FLYBOSNIA flight crew are mostly made up out of Bosnian
nationals with some of them returning to work in their home country, since FLYBOSNIA
is one of the main economic drivers of domestic airline development. After 12 years, since British Airways has canceled its
flight from London to Sarajevo, FLYBOSNIA, a young Bosnian company, is finally
connecting Sarajevo to global financial and tourism centers of the world, such
as London, Rome, and Paris.
