✈ Mostar Airport summer 2016 flight timetable

Mostar International Airport will be connected with many charter flights to destinations in Italy, primarily: Rome, Naples, Bari and Milan-Bergamo. All flights are organized by tourist agencies, catering to Italian tourists visiting catholic pilgrimage in Medjugorje. Mostar Airport is expecting same number of passengers as last year (around 75.000). With great tourist potential Mostar Airport is still unable to attract any airlines with regular flights even thought it was announced many times before that talks are being held with numerous airlines. Wizz air just recently announced its interest to start flights to/from Mostar. Mostar Airport has perfect geographical position for low cost airlines due to its proximity to Adriatic Coast to the south and Sarajevo to the north, and could offer flights to airlines currently flying to Split, since Split airport is facing capacity issues during the peak summer months. Distance from Mostar to Split is 170 kilometers. All flights are bookable trough travel agencies(for list of travel agencies please visit Mostar Airport website. Tour operator Balkan Express is selling air tickets on its own website.

Construction Company Euro-Asfalt has completed the asphalt surfacing of the first section of the A Transversal, the road which will connect Sarajevo International Airport with Sarajevo City center, confirmed the Director of Euro-Asfalt Enver Ajanović.

“We have completed asphalting of the first section of the road with four lanes (two lanes in each direction), in the length of over 650 meters. Horizontal signalization is done, and the work is currently being done on pedestrian and cycling tracks. New road starts on the 12th Transversal and it goes to the bridge on the Dobrinja River. In the coming period works will be conducted on the section in the length of 500 meters,  including the roundabout which is to be constructed onMojmilo next to the Children’s Village.Preparations for the  construction of that part of the road are currently in progress. If everything goes as planed, complete road should be finished by June" Ajanović stated. Newly constructed road will provide Sarajevo Airport with additional connection to the city center avoiding busy interchange on Stup.  

First stage of works costed around two million Bosnian Marks (BAM). Funds in the amount of about 3.8 million Bosnian Marks (BAM) have been provided for the second stage as well. These funds will be sufficient for the completion of one of the most significant infrastructural projects in the field of traffic that is being implemented at the territory of the Novi Grad Sarajevo Municipality. The project is jointly financed by the Ministry of Transportation of the Sarajevo County and the Municipality of Novi Grad Sarajevo.
