B&H to gamble on Tuzla

Tuzla Airport passenger terminal

The national airline of Bosnia and Herzegovina, B&H Airlines, has gambled in the past by starting up flights from secondary international airports in Bosnia and Herzegovina such as Mostar, which turned out to be unprofitable. However, the airline will try again, this time from Tuzla. B&H Airlines is expected to soon announce the launch of a new service between Tuzla and Istanbul, to be operated twice per week. The service would be operated by an ATR72 every Tuesday and Sunday, with flights departing Tuzla at 16.00 (4pm) and leaving Istanbul at 21.00 (9pm). Turkish Airlines is expected to code share on this service. B&H already operates flights from Tuzla to Frankfurt. Outside of Sarajevo, the airline also operates flights from Banja Luka to Zurich.

The airline is yet to list the flights in its reservation and timetable systems. B&H Airlines is reshuffling the departure times for many of its Sarajevo – Istanbul flights this winter in order to make the flights more convenient for passengers, especially those continuing their journeys further on. The arrival of a second Boeing B737-400 could be delayed due to the fact that the current Boeing aircraft is not being used to its maximum capacity. Blog visitors will be able to find all of B&H’s 2009/10 winter timetable modifications this Saturday.
