Jan 19, 2015 (newstodate): Confusion reigns about the launch of services by a new airline, Bosnian Wand Airlines, based at Sarajevo.
The carrier repeatedly claims that operations will soon start on a spree of routes to Sweden, Holland, Greece and destinations in the M East.
But in reality, Bosnian Wand Airlines is not an airline with rights to lift passengers.
-In reference to the information circulated by the media in the last several days, stating that a company named Bosnian Wand Airlines was to operate its first flight from Bosnia and Herzegovina, we would like to inform the public that said company does not hold an Air Operator Certificate issued by the Bosnia and Herzegovina Directorate of Civil Aviation, which is a necessary requirement for the provision of air transport of passengers and goods for commercial purposes, says the B&H Aviation Authority in a statement.
-Although the company, having the adjective Bosnian in its name, has a number of employees who are citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, it is, above all, not an airline, contrary to what was stated in certain media reports.
-A request for the flight, which had been announced to be operated from Sarajevo to Amsterdam on January 9, 2015, was submitted by the Greek airline Hermes Airlines, and not by the company Bosnia Wand Airlines, the statement reads.
Behind the project is an Iraqi investor, the Al Wand group
