✈Bosnian airports: Flight diversions due to low visibility

Due to low visibility at Banja Luka and Sarajevo Airports, flights were diverted to Tuzla. Two Ryanair flights were diverted from Banja Luka to Tuzla, one from Milan-Bergamo and the other from Stockholm-Arlanda. Also, two flights from Sarajevo were diverted to Tuzla, Pegasus Airlines flight from Istanbul-Sabiha and the other Wizz Air from Abu Dhabi. With diverted flights Tuzla Airport handled 11 arriving flights, seven regular scheduled departing flights and one unscheduled diverted flight to Istanbul. Passengers for Istanbul flight were transported by bus from Sarajevo to Tuzla to get on Istanbul flight, while passengers for Abu Dhabi flight were transported to Sarajevo also by bus. Wizz Air returning flight to Abu Dhabi is scheduled to leave Tuzla to Sarajevo tomorrow morning, and then continue to Abu Dhabi. During winter months low visibility with fog is causing major flight disruptions on all airports in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Until this year the majority of flights that couldn’t land at Banja Luka airport were diverted to Zagreb, while Tuzla flights were diverted to Belgrade, Sarajevo flights most of the time were sent back to its original starting airport. As of last month, flight diversions are coordinated between airports in  Bosnia and Herzegovina, avoiding major inconvenience for passengers with border crossings when flights were diverted to neighboring countries.

✈Sarajevo Airport: construction photo update

Radovi na proširenju zgrade terminala aerodroma Sarajevo, su u završnoj fazi i trenutno se izvode radovi na izgradnji novih jezgra za avionske mostove. Prvi od tri avionska mosta je dopremljen u Sarajevo tokom ove sedmice, i trenutno se radi na instalaciji istog na novoizgradjenom dijelu terminala.

Ugovor o nabavci tri avio mosta je potpisan u aprilu ove godine sa njemačko-španskom kompanijom THYSSENKRUPP AIRPORT SYSTEMS S.A u vrijednosti od 3,9 miliona maraka. Novi avio mostovi imaju unaprijeđen sistem za pristajanje aviona  (A-VDGS) Visual Docking Guidance Systems. Avio mostovi su stakleni, što će omogućiti prelijep pogled putnicima na platformu i avione tokom ukrcavanja/iskrcavanja iz aviona.

✈Tuzla Airport: construction photo update

Radovi na gradnji atrija  (prikljucnog objekta na terminal aerodroma) se privode kraju. U novoizgradjeni objekat biti ce smjestene rent a car agencije kao i prodavnica suvenira, koje ce biti izmjestene iz zgrade terminala i tako osloboditi prostor u glavnom holu terminala. Dodatni prostor je itekako potreban za svakodnevne operacije, pogotovo pred ljetnu sezonu kada se ocekuje rekordan broj putnika i zgrada terminala ce biti pretjesna za prijem veceg broja putnika.
