B&H Airlines will be receiving its first Boeing B737-400 aircraft tomorrow, May 10. The airline’s first jet engine aircraft will enter the fleet on Monday with its first scheduled service for the Bosnian carrier from its hub Sarajevo to Copenhagen, a new service launched thanks to the arrival of the aircraft. The Boeing B737-400 is from Turkish Airlines which has provided the aircraft as part of its deal with the Bosnian government, agreed upon late last year when it took over shares of the company. The aircraft has been painted and fitted with the interior of B&H Airlines in Istanbul.This upcoming working week will mark a beginning of a major expansion for B&H Airlines. The airline will begin flights to Copenhagen, Berlin, Dusseldorf, Gothenburg and Stockholm within the next 7 days while flights to Prague will begin in 2 weeks. Services to Vienna have been postponed. Originally planned to begin this week, the flights were moved to begin on Monday, May 11 but have now been further postponed until May 18, despite the fact that the airline has received necessary licenses to begin the Vienna service. One of the reasons the flight might have been moved could be because of a lack of sales. The service should operate 5 times per week.
The new B737-400 for the B&H Airlines fleet has been registered TC-JDG (Turkish Airlines registration). It is unknown if the aircraft will receive a Bosnian registration because the deal of the lease of the aircraft is unknown. The new fleet member will bring the number of aircraft operating for B&H Airlines to 3 with 2 ATR72s.
