Banja Luka and Mostar airport recorded decrees in all areas (flights, passengers and cargo). The only source of income for Banja Luka airport during 2015 were cargo flights to Turkey. Scheduled Air Serbia flights are subsidized by local government (Air Serbia does not pay landing and handling fees to the airport). Unfortunately for Banja Luka airport MNG Airlines cargo flights to Istanbul have stopped. Most likely flights will reopen in the near future but from Tuzla International Airport instead. It’s not clear yet if flights will be operated by MNG Airlines or Turkish Airlines.
