Lumiwings will commence operations from Foggia, some 380 kilometres east of Rome, to Mostar this summer.
Services will launch on June 3 and will be maintained twice per week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Tickets will go on sale through Lumiwings’ website later this week.
The General Manager of Foggia Airport, Antonio Maria Vasile, said the service will primarily cater for pilgrims visiting the Medjugorje sight near Mostar. Dimitris Kremiotis, Accountable Manager at Lumiwings, added, “Foggia Airport is growing. It is very encouraging that an important destination for religious and cultural tourism such as Mostar is added which, with its Stari Most and the Old Town, shares membership in UNESCO as a World Heritage Site with the sites of Gargano and Puglia”.
Lumiwings is a Greek carrier operating in Italy. It boasts a fleet of two aircraft, with one Boeing 737-300 and one B737-700. Last year, the carrier operated flights on behalf of Air Serbia.
Mostar Airport has been securing new scheduled services. Last week, Aeroitalia commenced two weekly rotations from Forli with an ATR72-600 aircraft, Ex-Yu Aviation news reports.
