From Salzburg to Banja Luka
Operated by BFS Business Flight Salzburg Bedarfsflug GesmbH, Austrojet began flying in 2006 with its headquarters and base at Salzburg Airport, using a small fleet of a Bombardier DHC-8-100 and several Cessna Citation jets. In 2008 it launched a scheduled route from Salzburg to Banja Luka in Bosnia and Herzegovina, flown three times a week from April 2008, with further routes to Tivat in Montenegro and to Stuttgart planned.
The End in 2009
By early 2009 the company’s website no longer mentioned scheduled service, and the airline ceased operations that same year.
