Procedures
For arrival and departure, a slot is required, which can be downloaded as a Word form from the airport’s website and must be emailed to the address provided in the form. A reply arrives within 24 hours. This seems mainly a formality; changes can easily be made by phone or WhatsApp.
Arrival and approach
The approach to RWY 15 is over the city and between the mountains—spectacular (definitely do it Visual/VFR!). The airport sits in a small basin. In high temperatures this may affect the required climb gradient, depending on your performance margin.
Handling & transfer
Immigration takes about one minute (same for exit); Handling coordinates everything. The airport is very GA-friendly. They currently value every movement to justify investments. From the airport to the city, it’s best to use the Airport Shuttle, which can be billed via Handling (€25 flat per ride). A taxi is cheaper (about €5), but the shuttle drivers speak English (and can brief you on the sights). Our handling agent also offered to act as a tour guide (with car), which is certainly an interesting option. We didn’t take up the offer due to lack of time.
Costs
Total for our PA28 was €80 (approach, landing, handling, parking for 2 days).

The airport’s opening hours follow the limited scheduled services and are published via NOTAM.

Airport opening hours depend on scheduled flights; advance coordination by email (opc@mostar-airport.ba) 1–2 days before arrival is required to obtain a slot. Slot requests should not be sent too far in advance; confirmation typically arrives promptly when requested close to the intended date. Operating hours can be adjusted on request, but flexibility depends on scheduled traffic. No PPR or special permission is generally needed beyond this slot process.
Landing fees and parking are moderate. Example: landing about €30, parking about €10 per night, handling about €20. Handling is quick and efficient due to the manageable size of the airport. Refueling may be restricted until outbound clearance is confirmed or scheduled flights have departed; expect possible short waits for apron access and fuel.
The airport is situated in a wide valley with rising terrain at both ends, surrounded by mountains up to 7000 ft northwest; approaches require attention to published procedures. There are multiple approach options; review them carefully before arrival. Only taxiways A and C are in use for runway access.
Service is described as friendly and accommodating, with creative tie-down solutions when needed. The city center is accessible by taxi for about €5, with no car rental available at the airport. Mostar offers notable sightseeing opportunities within easy reach of the airfield.
