In July Sarajevo International Airport processed the total of 140.025 passengers, what is an increase of even 28% if compared to the same month last year and a record-breaking monthly number of passengers.
Number of air traffic operations in July is 1.412 what is for 17% more than in July in the previous year. In respect of cargo, in July was handled 260.813 kg of commercial cargo, i.e. for 65% more than in July 2016.
In the period from January 1 till June 31 in 2017, there were 383.983 passengers what is for 7% more in comparison with the year of 2016. Number of air traffic operations in first half-year of the current year is 5.854 what is for 12% more than in the same period last year. In the same period was handled 1.605.669 kg of commercial cargo what is for 61% more than last year.
In context of the forthcoming realization of numerous development projects of Sarajevo International Airport, and primarily the fact that designed capacities of Terminal building have practically been reached, it is important to emphasize that the mentioned imposing results have been achieved owing to exceptional commitment of the Airport employees to their work.
At the moment there are almost twenty airlines having air traffic operations from Sarajevo International Airport. In spite of a highly competitive market, we have constantly been trying to attract new airlines by adjusting to specific requirements of each carrier. As a result, in less than seven months of the current year, five new airlines (WizzAir, Tuifly, Atlasglobal, Nesma Airlines, Wataniya Airways) started air services from our airport, while negotiations with one of the leading world carriers, Qatar Airways, are in progress.
Such a trend of successful business with increased number of operations and passengers is expected in the future, too.
