Banja Luka Airport experienced its busiest August ever and is on track to handle more than a quarter of a million passengers by the end of September.

In the last month alone, the airport welcomed a total of 43.411 travelers, a 53 percent increase over the previous year, which it says was even busier than the year before the pandemic. In the period from January to August, a total of 214.625 travelers were handled at Banja Luka Airport, according to the online portal Ex-Yu-Aviation. The airport has never been able to show such figures - and that almost four months before the end of the year. So a new record year is in the offing.
