✈FlyBosnia to operate cargo-only flights between China and Sarajevo.

Due to current circumstances caused by the coronavirus pandemic, Bosnia and Herzegovina is in urgent need for medical equipment (masks, personal protection equipment , gloves, respirators, and coronavirus testing kits). FlyBosnia is inviting all companies, hospitals and government institutions that have ordered medical equipment to contact them to arrange transportation.
During last week FlyBosnia has received about 20 requests from interested companies that require fast and safe transportation of medical equipment and materials from China and other countries for the purpose of preventing and suppressing coronaviruses in Bosnia and Herzegovina

"Due to lack of effective coordination, and on the basis of the urgent need for this medical equipment, FlyBosnia, together with its partners, invites all companies, hospitals, healthcare institutions that have ordered and / or plan to order equipment from China and / or from other countries (minimum 1 metric ton) to contact us directly so that we can consolidate an put all orders on the same flight. FlyBosnia has also made itself available to all government institutions and the non-governmental sector, "the statement said.

FlyBosnia will operate cargo-only passenger aircraft flights between China and Sarajevo.

As an example, a trip from Sarajevo to Shanghai and back will take approximately 30 hours (with an Airbus 319 aircraft) with all necessary stops for refueling, crew rest (overnight), aircraft disinfection and aircraft loading. The distance between Sarajevo and Shanghai is 8.650 kilometers (5.375 miles)
"The first flight from Sarajevo to Shanghai, out of 10 planned so far, is scheduled for April 8, 2020. As a socially responsible company, all flights are operated on a direct cost basis only. All requests can be sent to fightcovid19@flybosnia.ba or to 062 762 785.
