So, today I decided to find out a bit more about this place called Sarajevo International Airport. I’d heard of it, sure, but didn’t really know much beyond the name. Figured it was time to change that.
First things first, I checked out where this airport actually is. Turns out, it’s right near the city of Sarajevo, which, if you didn’t know, is the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina. That’s a pretty important detail, I guess.
I started digging around for some basic info. Apparently, this airport is a big deal for getting in and out of the country. It’s like the main door, which is what I found out. They call it the main gateway. Makes sense, I suppose, for a capital city’s airport.
Then I looked into what the locals call it. Some folks call it Butmir. I also learned it’s not a huge airport. They say it’s a smaller one, located about 7 kilometers west of the city center. Not too far from the action, it seems.
Key things I learned
- It is also known as Butmir
- It is the main international airport of Bosnia and Herzegovina
- It is located 7 km west of the city center
So, after all this, I feel like I’ve got a better handle on what Sarajevo International Airport is all about. It’s the main airport for Bosnia and Herzegovina, located near the capital, and it’s not massive, but it gets the job done. Pretty straightforward, really. I guess this knowledge might come in handy if I ever decide to visit that part of the world. You never know!
