✈Tuzla Airport anticipate to handle 800.000 passengers

Tuzla International Airport is positioning itself for a record-breaking year in both flight operations and passenger numbers. The establishment of a Wizz Air base at the airport, featuring two Airbus A321neo aircraft configured with high-density seating (239 seats), puts Tuzla on track to surpass all previous performance records. For 2026, Tuzla Airport has 1.030.752 seats on offer, and my analysis projects approximately 800,000 passengers by year-end.

Wizz Air has published its 2026 operating schedule, comprising a total of 4.056 flights and offering 969.384 seats. The airline will operate 14 routes from Tuzla, of which two, Gothenburg (GOT) in Sweden and Larnaca (LCA) in Cyprus, will be seasonal summer services. In addition to Wizz Air, Tuzla International Airport will continue to benefit from year-round connectivity to Istanbul (SAW) through services operated by A Jet and Pegasus Airlines.

Further strengthening the airport’s network, Chair Airlines will introduce seasonal flights between Zurich and Tuzla, operating from June through October, with the possibility of extending services into the winter season subject to market demand. Charter operations will also play a significant role, with Air Cairo and Nile Air providing regular charter services to Hurghada (HRG) in Egypt, while Corendon Airlines and Free Bird Airlines will operate charter flights to Antalya (AYT) in Turkiye.

With an expanding portfolio of scheduled and charter services, Tuzla International Airport is reinforcing its role as a key regional low-cost airport, serving passengers from across Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as parts of neighboring Croatia and Serbia.
