:pushpin: Why should this airline be added?
The successor state owned flag carrier to Air Bosna, which collapsed in 2003 and was rebranded in 2005 to BH Airlines. They operated flights from Sarajevo to Europe using their ATR’s whilst leasing aircraft, first a 734 between 2008 and 2010 and then an A319 from 2010 till 2012, from Turkish Airlines. The airline continued till 2015 when it lost its AOC as the government had decided to liquidate the company due to debt and both ATR’s being grounded for maintenance. They had a cool livery and it would be nice to see them in-game to give Bosnia & Herzegovina a bit of recognition.
