May 20, 2010 (newstodate): Mostar International Airport, at Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina, is fully equipped to handle even larger aircraft - but sees no scheduled services.
The airport, 88 percent owned by the city government, was thoroughly modernized in 2004 when a project was completed including construction of a new ATC tower with seven controller operator positions as well as one of the latest voice communication systems.
The project was subsidized and supported by the European Commission.
Since October 2009, the airport has had no scheduled flights, and speculations are that maybe fuel prices double those of other airport like Sarajevo, Split and Dubrovnik, may be among the reasons for lack of success.
The airport is equipped with a 2,400 m runway and can accept airport up to 200 tonnes of MTOW.
