✈ Banjaluka Airport winter 2025/2026

The 2025/26 winter timetable will begin on Sunday, October 26, 2025, and run through March 28, 2026. During this period, passengers will be able to fly to 8 destinations across 5 countries, operated by 3 airlines. A total of 1.052 commercial flights are scheduled, offering 194.628 seats from November to March. Ryanair will operate the majority of flights to and from Banjaluka, serving five destinations in three countries. The airline has scheduled 684 round-trip flights, providing 129.276 seats.

During the November-March period, Ryanair will hold a 66% share of flights at Banjaluka Airport, followed by Wizz Air with 30%, and Air Serbia with just 3%. With Wizz Air establishing a base at Tuzla Airport and Ryanair expanding its operations in Sarajevo, Banjaluka Airport faces increasing competition for new routes and retaining its current ones.

To stay competitive, Banjaluka Airport management should focus on developing new markets not already served from Tuzla or Sarajevo. Many of these routes could work as summer seasonal, including:

• Athens (ATH) – Greece (Sky Express)
• Alicante (ALC) – Spain (Wizz Air)
• Bodrum (BJV) – Türkiye (SunExpress Airlines)
• Eindhoven (EIN) – Netherlands (Ryanair or Wizz Air)
• Tivat (TIV) – Montenegro (Air Montenegro)
• Nuremberg (NUE) – Germany (Ryanair or Wizz Air)
• Naples (NAP) – Italy (Ryanair, Wizz Air, or EasyJet)
• Salzburg (SZG) – Austria (Eurowings)

✈ Mostar Airport winter 2025/2026

During the 2025/2026 winter schedule, Mostar International Airport will be connected to only two destinations. Air Serbia will operate two weekly flights from Belgrade, while Croatia Airlines will maintain three weekly flights from Zagreb. Eurowings will offer a limited service of six round trips from Stuttgart during the Christmas and New Year holidays.

Compared to the previous season, Air Serbia has reduced its Belgrade service from three to two weekly flights, whereas Croatia Airlines has retained the same frequency as in the summer. Throughout the winter timetable, Mostar Airport is scheduled to handle a total of 232 commercial flights, offering 21,472 seats.

Given the minimal airline presence and typically low passenger loads during the winter months, the airport’s operation during this period raises questions about its economic viability.
