✈Lumiwings discontinues Tuzla operations

Greek airline Lumiwings has canceled all Tuzla operationas and withdrawn its only aircraft from Tuzla. In a very unprofessional move, neither  Lumiwings nor Tuzla Airport have issud official statement. According to Bosnian media Lumiwings has left Tuzla with unpaid dues for fuel and  aircraft handling. The air carrier is suspending flights to Stockholm, Esbjerg, Halmstad, Maastricht and Saarbrucken.

In December, Lumiwings received a sum of 2,5 million Bosnian Marks (1,3) million Euros) subsidy from the government of Tuzla canton to launch the flights, but the funds have already been used to compensate for losses for  flying empty flights. Unqualified people running the airport who are appointed by the ruling party are definitely to blame for yet another fiasco. Will there be any consequences for mismanagement of wasting  public funds is to be seen.
