FlyBosnia takes delivery of A320 jet
FlyBosnia took delivery of an Airbus A320 aircraft this week as it prepares to retore operations after almost a year. The jet in question, registered TC-OBU, is 25 years old and was previously operated by Onur Air. The 180-seat aircraft bears the carrier’s revised livery with larger FlyBosnia titles on the fuselage and more colour on the tail. The airline last operated scheduled flights in March 2020, before the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, and has since run cargo flights and summer charters. It retired its sole aircraft, an A319, in late August of last year. The carrier played an important role during the height of the global lockdowns, when it operated a number of charters from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Slovenia to China, transporting medical supplies and equipment.
Commenting on the aircraft’s arrival, FlyBosnia said, “We would like to thank our team for an astonishing effort over the last few months. It was difficult and worrisome at times but we prevailed to overcome all obstacles. FlyBosnia will revolutionise air transport in the Balkans by providing value for money, taking into account the safety, health and satisfaction of our customers. FlyBosnia is known for its affordable ticket prices, motivating staff and professionalism. It is the main bridge between the Balkans and the Middle East”.
Speaking to EX-YU Aviation News recently, FlyBosnia’s CEO, Haris Čoloman, said, “FlyBosnia plans to acquire four Airbus A320 aircraft by the end of 2021. The majority of flights will be scheduled. As we saw last year, Bosnia and Herzegovina also requires a large volume of charters, so we will also focus on that segment of business. FlyBosnia plans to have an aircraft stationed at Sarajevo Airport, Mostar and Tuzla”. The airline has already concluded contracts to operate summer charters from Sarajevo to Turkey and Egypt this summer. FlyBosnia is also expected to restore scheduled flights to a number of markets in the Middle East as they begin to open up for international travel. The final line-up of destinations is expected to be announced soon, with the airline preparing to launch its new-look website.
