The waiting game

The arrival of 2 B&H Airlines Boeing B737-700 aircraft has been delayed by more than 2 months. The aircraft, complements of Turkish Airlines, were initially planned to enter service on March 28. The first revenue flights were to be performed by the aircraft on route from Istanbul to Sarajevo, while the other from Sarajevo to Zurich. The arrival of the aircraft has now been moved to June 1. B&H Airlines will, until that date, continue to use its Boeing B737-400 along with 2 ATR72s. The B737-400 was to be returned to its owner upon the arrival of the -700 series aircraft.

B&H Airlines will operate the new aircraft on services to Istanbul, Copenhagen, Zurich, Düsseldorf, Gothenburg and Stockholm. The airline’s planned new service to Amsterdam may be delayed until June as well. As it currently stands, the B737-400 is to perform its last revenue flight on May 31 as flight JA102 to Istanbul, departing Sarajevo at 18.30 and it will not be returning home.
