B&H launches B737-400 service

Newest member of B&H Airlines fleet

B&H Airlines this morning launched its first scheduled flight from Sarajevo Airport using their new Boeing B737-400. The Bosnian national carrier received the aircraft yesterday and information has surfaced that the aircraft will be transferred into B&H ownership, rather than still being an aircraft owned by Turkish Airlines. Despite the aircraft still wearing Turkish registration, the airline will receive Bosnian registration within the following month when all paperwork regarding ownership is finalised.

The B&H B737-400 departed this morning at 6.15 from Sarajevo Airport to Istanbul Ataturk Airport (flight JA102). Later today B&H will inaugurate its service to Copenhagen. Also operated by the B737-400, the aircraft should depart from Sarajevo at 12.00 and this will be the final service operated by the Boeing aircraft today. Tomorrow, B&H Airlines will launch services to the Germany with flights to Dusseldorf and Berlin starting up. On Wednesday flights to Gothenburg will begin while on Saturday flights to Stockholm should commence. Next week B&H will launch services to Prague although the fate of the flights to Vienna, scheduled to launch next Monday is still unknown. The Boeing B737-400 will operate for B&H Airlines on flights to Istanbul (daily morning flight), Copenhagen, Dusseldorf, Gothenburg and Copenhagen. The new aircraft will fittingly be named “Istanbul” joining the two ATRs named Sarajevo and Mostar.
