Bosnia Herzegovina Airlines gives up on Turkey route

Bosnia Herzegovina Airlines has suspended flights on its signature route to Turkey's Istanbul Ataturk Airport. The carrier operated its final service from Sarajevo to Turkey’s largest city last Tuesday after which all flights were terminated. Ticket sales for the route have also been suspended until further notice. So far this month, the airline has cancelled more services to Istanbul than it actually operated with only two flights performed in the last two weeks. Over the past year, B&H has been hit by strong competition on the route and has been squeezed out by its larger rivals Turkish Airlines and Pegasus Airlines. The carrier maintained four weekly flights to Istanbul with an ATR72 aircraft this summer, down from daily flights only a year ago.
