About us
The
building of Banja
Luka
International
Airport
began in 1976. In accordance with existing development plans,
capacities were built which defined Banja Luka Airport
as an aerodrome of secondary importance, restricted to domestic air
traffic on the territory of the Socialist Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia.
After
the political and territory transformation of the Socialist Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia and Bosnia and Herzegovina territories,
Republic
of
Srpska was constituted as a real political fact, which gave Banja
Luka
Airport
new importance and a completely different role.
Banja Luka
International
Airport
is considered to be one of the fastest, most secure and most
economical gateways of Republic
of
Srpska into the world, and therefore one of the important components
of the constitutionality of Republic
of
Srpska.
Banja Luka International Airport is opened for civilian air traffic
18th November 1997.
Since
2 March 1998, when Yugoslav airlines promoted the first flight from
Banja Luka
International
Airport,
it has served only for international passenger transportation.
Banja
Luka
International
Airport
was built in the area of Laktaši and Gradiška municipalities,
in the
wide valley of the river Vrbas expanding into the well-known Lijevče
polje.
The distance between the Airport
and the main road is 1,100 m, and road distances to the
Banja Luka city is 23 km.

Development plan
The administrative authority of “Aerodrome RS” company
has therefore decided to make a development plan for Banja Luka
Aerodrome, in order to define real possibilities of Aerodrome
functioning in current market conditions, and adopt a strategy for
further Aerodrome development towards the anticipated volume of traffic
in the next 20 years.
Analyses
and estimations that have been done so far point that the traffic volume
on the Aerodrome is seriously interfered by a number of limiting factors
arising from inadequate capacities of certain aerodrome buildings and
facilities.
On the basis of the facts
presented in the analysis of the existing situation, and their
comparison with the facts presented in the potential of the Aerodrome
service area, three strategic development plans can be established:
I-1.
