“Not everything is yet elaborated, but there are some real chances.” – said Janjić. He added that the discount in the initial period, requested by the SwissAir, is still being discussed.
“On the other side, we expect for them to understand that this market isn’t yet sufficiently elaborated and that the flying habits do not exist so we have to make a lot of effort to promote that line. We are ready to include in this project the town of BL and the RS Government.” – pointed out Janjić.
He also explained that the use of the Airbus A320 plane is in circulation, a plane which has over 150 seats – which, according to Janjić’s opinion, shows a great enthusiasm by the Swiss.

It’s up to them to choose which terms they want and whether they find more convenient the morning or afternoon terms. All of that determines the potential profitability of the line. When it comes to us, we would like to see this project implemented because it would be great news for Banja Luka.” – said Janjić.
