The responsible regional government has announced subsidies for the start of selected routes from Mostar Airport in Bosnia. Skyalps also took part in the tender and was awarded the contract.
According to Mostar Airport, it is planned that the South Tyrolean regional carrier will start flights to Verona, Rome, Bari and Munich. These are to be served by de Havilland Dash 8-400 turboprop aircraft. According to reports, there was little interest in the PSO subsidies, as only Skyalps is said to have applied for the routes in question. Mostar Airport stated, among other things, that it is pleased that Skyalps meets all the conditions of the tender “and has submitted a very attractive offer for the inclusion of these routes”.
The flight plan will be announced in the next few days. Shortly afterwards they want to start selling airline tickets. It is currently not known when the first flight will take place, but it should take place this year. Skyalps could possibly soon become active in Austria from Vienna and Linz. In Germany, the carrier is considering connecting Bozen and Friedrichshafen with Frankfurt am Main. Neither Lufthansa nor Austrian Airlines wanted to confirm a collaboration that was announced by company boss Josef Gostner in an interview.
