Sarajevo Airport yesterday handled its 700.000th passenger for the year, making 2014 its busiest year on record.

Sarajevo Airport has seen solid passenger growth throughout the year. It handled 665.638 travellers for the whole of 2013.
I thought they handled more for 1984 Olympics.

Pristina and Skopje were not on the map, and had hardly more than 200 or 300.000 pax, while Ljubljana was nowhere near breaking 1 mil. All this time, ZAG was fluctuating from 1,5 to 1,9 mil while Belgrade from 2,5 to 3,3 mil...
