TUI Airways UK is planning to commence flights between London Gatwick and Sarajevo this coming winter Ski season.
Although holidays are not yet available for purchase, the airline has filed a schedule for a one weekly rotation on the route starting 20 December with a mix of Boeing 737-800 and 737 MAX 8 aircraft. Wizz Air is currently the only airline flying between Sarajevo with a service to Luton Airport.
TUI's own in-house SKI operator Crystal had a presence some years ago in Bosnia, but this new Destination and flight is not yet showing in Crystal or Inghams' Ski brochures.
Can you ski in Bosnia?
Sarajevo Bjelasnica on Olympic Mountain is the largest ski resort in central Bosnia, attracting everyone from the novice to pros.
Trails reach a total distance of 14 kilometres over eight slopes, each with a ski lift, from easy to black as well as valley runs.
With very affordable prices, especially for Brits, I am not surprised SJJ has been added.
I wouldn't be surprised if they also add INI (Nis) to their winter Ski program, for the skiing holidays on Kopaonik as well.
JAT used to operate INI to LHR long long time ago during winter for the same reason.
