B&H to start Banja Luka flights

Banja Luka - Zurich

B&H Airlines is close to receiving approval to commence flights from Bosnia and Herzegovina’s second largest city, Banja Luka, to Zurich, the “Seebiz.eu” portal reports. Flight details are yet to be revealed although services between the two cities is expected to commence on November 1. B&H used to operate three weekly flights from Sarajevo to Zurich via Banja Luka with the ATR72. It is believed that the new flights will also originate from Sarajevo. B&H applied for eleven weekly flights between Sarajevo and Banja Luka for the 2010 summer season but were rejected.

The new service would help Banja Luka Airport which is currently only being served by Adria Airways from Ljubljana. Together with Banja Luka, B&H Airlines is set to introduce flights to Skopje and Amsterdam during the 2010/11 winter season.
