Sarajevo International Airport (SJJ), officially named Sarajevo International Airport Butmir, serves Bosnia and Herzegovina's capital and is located just 6 kilometres southwest of Sarajevo city centre, one of the most centrally located airports in the region. The airport connects Sarajevo to European destinations with flights operated by Austrian Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Wizz Air, and other carriers. Sarajevo is a city of extraordinary resilience and cultural richness, where Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian, Yugoslav, and contemporary influences converge in a compact city set among the dramatic Dinaric Alps.
Taxis are the primary transport option from Sarajevo Airport, with the short 6-kilometre journey to the city centre taking around 10 to 15 minutes. The city's trolleybus and tram network connects the airport area to the old town (Baščaršija).
