Mostar Airport sees passenger growth

Wednesday, August 26, 2015


Mostar Airport welcomed its 50.000th passenger for the year on August 23, ten days ahead of 2014. The traveller, Marcella Sirugo, said, “This is my third visit to Medjugorje and each time I chose to fly to Mostar Airport because it is the closest and easiest way to get to this beautiful country”. Mostar Airport’s management recently said it would enter talks with several Star Alliance member airlines over the potential launch of scheduled year-long flights to the city. Mostar has struggled to attract scheduled services but sees a significant number of charters throughout the year, carrying religious pilgrims visiting the nearby Medjugorje sight. “This year we will attempt to bring one scheduled carrier. Primarily we are interested in talks with Germanwings, Lufthansa and Austrian Airlines, as well as Turkish Airlines. We are confident there is a significant number of people from our diaspora who would fly to Mostar”, the airport’s Managing Director, Marin Raspudić, said. Croatian start-up, Sea Air, is scheduled to launch flights between Osijek and Mostar next Monday.

    Ko bi letio izmedu Mostara i Osijeka i dal uopste postoji zaintresovani i mogucni putnika?

    Ja mislim da bi Mostar-Osijek bila bezveze linija a da ne pricam o Nis-Osijek. Jel to Sea Air otvara bazu a la Lufthansa (Frankfurt) u Osijeku pa sada zeli spojiti male aerodromcice sirom regije sa buducnim centrom i hubom Osijek?

    Da budemo ozbiljni bez zajebancija, Mostar moze jedino opstati sa sadasnjim carter letovima i sa nekom LCC kompanijom naprimjer WizzAir ili Ryanair ako Tuzla nije previse blizo Mostara sto se tice WizzAir.

    Isto tako za Nis, moguce je da Turkish Airlines moze uvesti let Mostar-Istanbul 2 puta sedmicno ali i to je tesko i pitanje je dal bi se moglo popuniti avione jer Turkish Airlines ima samo jet avione. Lufthansa kao Lufthansa ima samo jedan jadni let dnevno iz Sarajeva, koji je glavni grad Bosne i Hercegovine, i to za manje znacajni hub i Minhen i tesko da bi Mostar mogao biti destinacija za tu kompaniju kad samo jednom dnevno lete iz Sarajeva.

      Da, Osijek je od sada hub za Sea Air, i Mostar će biti jedan od aerodroma punitelja, putnici bi letjeli za Osijek i tamo presjedali za Frankfurt, Minhen ili Stutgard. Ova linija možda neće biti nešto extra, ali biti će prometa barem za popuniti avion, već ima pozitivnih reakcija na internet portalima iz Hercegovine, a isto tako mnogo je putnika iz Osijeka zainteresirano da lete sezonski redovnim letovima preko Mostara za Rim ili da dolaze u Međugorje. :D Sretno Aerodromu Mostar!
