Paris, Stockholm, Baden-Baden, Düsseldorf, and Girona Strengthen Sarajevo Connectivity with New Ryanair Routes: New Updates You Need To Know

Thursday, January 9, 2025

Ryanair, the leading airline in Europe and Bosnia and Herzegovina, has revealed its largest-ever Summer 2025 schedule for Sarajevo, setting a new benchmark for connectivity and growth in the region. Launched on January 9, this record-breaking schedule includes over 50 weekly flights spanning 11 routes, with five exciting new destinations: Baden-Baden, Düsseldorf, Girona, Paris, and Stockholm.

Sarajevo Summer 2025: Key Highlights

• New Connections: Five new routes added to the network—Baden-Baden, Düsseldorf, Girona, Paris, and Stockholm.
• Expanded Network: A total of 11 routes connecting Sarajevo to 8 countries.
• Passenger Surge: 400,000 passengers annually, a remarkable 170% increase from 2024.
• Economic Impact: Supporting more than 300 local jobs in Sarajevo.

This ambitious expansion not only strengthens Sarajevo’s status as a regional travel hub but also delivers a significant boost to tourism and the local economy. Ryanair credits the progressive policies of Sarajevo Airport and the Sarajevo Canton for fostering an environment of reduced access costs, which has enabled this unprecedented growth.

Keeping Costs Competitive: A Blueprint for Success

Ryanair’s decision to double its traffic in Sarajevo reflects the importance of maintaining competitive access costs in the aviation industry. Across Europe, countries like Albania, Hungary, Italy, and Sweden are eliminating aviation taxes and lowering costs to attract investment and secure traffic growth.

For Sarajevo to remain competitive and continue benefiting from Ryanair’s presence, including the potential for aircraft based in the city, the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina must reconsider its plans to reintroduce aviation taxes. Maintaining low costs is crucial for ensuring affordable travel for citizens and sustaining the growth of Bosnia’s aviation and tourism sectors.

Celebrate with Affordable Travel

To celebrate the launch of its Sarajevo Summer 2025 schedule and the addition of five new destinations, Ryanair has announced an exclusive 3-day seat sale. Travelers can book fares starting from just €29.99, available exclusively at ryanair.com.

With its expanded network, Ryanair is transforming Sarajevo’s connectivity, offering more opportunities for travelers while driving economic growth and strengthening its position as a leader in European aviation. The Summer 2025 schedule promises to make Sarajevo a gateway to Europe like never before.

Here’s a table showcasing all 11 routes from Ryanair’s Sarajevo Summer 2025 schedule, including the 5 new destinations:

Excitement is in the air in Sarajevo as Ryanair’s Chief Commercial Officer, Jason McGuinness, shared the airline’s game-changing plans for Summer 2025:

“Ryanair, the leading airline in Europe and Bosnia and Herzegovina, is thrilled to announce our biggest Summer schedule ever for Sarajevo. We’re doubling our operations here, offering 11 routes to 8 countries, and adding 5 incredible new destinations: Baden-Baden, Düsseldorf, Girona, Paris, and Stockholm. This growth is a testament to the hard work and vision of Sarajevo Airport and the Sarajevo Canton, who have worked to make travel more affordable and unlock the city’s full tourism potential.

Looking ahead to Summer 2025, European travel is bouncing back, but cities like Sarajevo still have untapped potential. With its rich history, stunning landscapes, and vibrant culture, Sarajevo deserves to be a key player in Europe’s travel map. While some airlines are still catching up post-Covid, Ryanair is committed to building connectivity here. However, for Sarajevo to keep growing, we need to see the same level of commitment from Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Government. Reintroducing aviation taxes would be a step backward, making it harder for us to invest and for travelers to access affordable flights.”

Sarajevo International Airport’s Director, Sanin Ramezić, shared his excitement for what this partnership means for the region:

“We are delighted to strengthen our partnership with Ryanair, Europe’s leading low-cost airline.”These new routes will bring Sarajevo closer to more amazing European destinations, making it easier than ever for people to discover everything Bosnia and Herzegovina has to offer. It’s not just about tourism—it’s about connecting people, creating opportunities, and strengthening cultural ties.

We’re entering 2025 with big dreams and high hopes. We want this year to be a record-breaker, and Ryanair is a key part of making that happen. Together, we’re building a future where Sarajevo is a hub of connection, culture, and opportunity.”

With five new destinations, a doubling of passenger traffic, and a shared vision for growth, Ryanair and Sarajevo Airport are shaping a future full of possibilities. For travelers, this means more affordable options, more connections, and a chance to explore one of Europe’s most captivating cities. For Sarajevo, it’s a chance to shine brighter than ever on the global stage.
