B&H B737-700 roll out

B737-700s soon in Sarajevo
In just over a month B&H Airlines will become the first operator of the Boeing B737-700 in the former Yugoslav region. The airline will commence revenue flights with 2 B737-700s on March 28, 2010, compliments of its owner Turkish Airlines. Fittingly, the first revenue flight will be between Istanbul and Sarajevo. One of the aircraft has already received a full rotational schedule for its maiden day, while the second is only scheduled for one flight, although this is expected to change as new destinations are likely to be entered into the schedule.

B&H Airlines will operate the new aircraft on services to Istanbul, Copenhagen, Zurich, Düsseldorf, Gothenburg and Stockholm. Soon, the airline is also expected to announce the launch of its flights to Amsterdam. As is often the case with B&H Airlines, transparency is not at the highest level of priorities and thus there are conflicting reports about the arrival of the second B737-700. Although it is scheduled to operate flights on March 28, some sources claim that the aircraft will arrive in late summer of 2010 and that the B737-400 will stay in the fleet until that day. As it currently stands, the B737-400 is to perform its last revenue flight on March 27 as flight JA102 to Istanbul, departing Sarajevo at 18.30 and it will not be returning home. Any developments regarding the second B737-700 and the B737-400 will be reported.

Below you can see the scheduled rotation for the B737-700s on their inaugural day - Sunday March 28, 2010:
