Ryanair strengthens its position in Bosnia and Herzegovina with new routes in 2025
Ryanair strengthens its leadership in Bosnia and Herzegovina by doubling its capacity in Sarajevo for the summer of 2025. With 50 weekly flights across 11 routes, including five new destinations, the airline aims to boost tourism, connectivity, and economic growth, while urging the government to reverse aviation taxes
Ryanair consolidates itself as the leading airline in Bosnia and Herzegovina in terms of seat capacity, according to the Cirium platform. For the summer season of 2025, the low-cost carrier will schedule 50 flights per week across eleven routes, including five new ones to Germany, Spain, France, and Sweden.
“We are proud to continue our successful cooperation with Ryanair, Europe’s largest low-cost airline. The launch of new routes in 2025 will further connect Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina with numerous destinations across Europe. This collaboration not only expands our flight network but also provides a strong boost to tourism development, enhances business cooperation, and strengthens cultural ties,” said Sanin Ramezić, director of Sarajevo International Airport.
Ryanair’s schedule in Sarajevo for summer 2025:
- Five new routes: Baden-Baden (Germany), Dusseldorf-Weeze (Germany), Girona (Spain), Paris-Beauvais (France), and Stockholm-Arlanda (Sweden).
- Eleven routes across eight countries.
- 400,000 passengers mobilized annually (+170% compared to 2024).
- Support for over 300 local jobs.
Ryanair’s decision to double its capacity in Sarajevo stems from measures taken by Sarajevo Airport and the Sarajevo Canton to reduce access costs and promote connectivity, tourism, and economic growth.
The low-cost airline has proposed that the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina amend its decision to reintroduce aviation taxes. According to Ryanair, such a change is critical for supporting the sustained development of the country’s aviation and tourism sectors while ensuring its residents continue to benefit from Europe’s most affordable fares.
“If Sarajevo Airport wants to continue attracting Ryanair’s investments, including a potential base, it must remain competitive against Albania, Hungary, Italy, and Sweden, among others—countries that are eliminating aviation taxes and reducing access costs to secure valuable traffic growth. Ryanair urges the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina to reverse its decision to reintroduce aviation taxes to foster sustained growth in the country’s aviation and tourism sectors,” said Jason McGuinness, Ryanair’s Chief Commercial Officer.
