About Mostar Intl. Airport

Mostar International Airport is located in Ortiješ, in the Mostar area of Herzegovina-Neretva Canton, Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, around 7 kilometres from the city centre. Opened to civil air traffic in 1965 and restored as a civilian gateway in 1998, the airport is operated by Mostar Airport Ltd. and supports tourism, business travel and regional connectivity across Herzegovina.

The airport has a compact passenger terminal handling both domestic and international flights, with separated passenger flows for domestic and international departures and shared arrival facilities. Its current annual traffic is modest, recently above 70,000 passengers, while infrastructure includes check-in counters, aircraft aprons, fuel services, ground handling, taxi, bus and car-rental access. Demand is strongly seasonal, rising in spring and summer with leisure travel, diaspora visits and pilgrimage traffic.

Airlines operating from Mostar International Airport have included Croatia Airlines, Sky Alps, Air Serbia and seasonal European carriers, depending on the timetable. Main direct destinations typically include Zagreb and Belgrade, with international flights to cities such as Rome, Bari, Bergamo, Palermo, Stuttgart and Dusseldorf on seasonal schedules. Overall demand for flight tickets is driven by tourism to Mostar and Međugorje, regional business links and the need for reliable air access to southern Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Mostar Intl. Airport to Mostar City Center Transport

Mostar International Airport is about 7-8 km from Mostar city center. Available transport options include the airport shuttle bus, taxis, car rental, and pre-booked private transfers; there is no metro or tram link from the airport.

Bus

Regular municipal city buses do not typically depart directly from the airport terminal. Travelers using public transport may need to walk or arrange a short ride to nearby stops in the Ortijes area, so this option is less convenient with luggage. Average travel time to central Mostar is about 20-30 minutes, depending on waiting time and traffic.

• Nearby local bus connections in the Ortijes area may link toward Mostar.
• Regional buses on the Capljina-Mostar route may stop near the airport area.

Airport Shuttle

The main scheduled airport shuttle is operated by Mostar Bus between Mostar International Airport and the city center, timed around flight arrivals rather than running as a high-frequency Havas or Havabus-style service. Average journey time is about 15-20 minutes.
