Mostar International Airport
The Stari Most, an Ottoman-era stone bridge arching over the Neretva River in Mostar, gave the city its name centuries ago and remains its defining landmark, having been deliberately destroyed by shelling during the Bosnian War in 1993 before being painstakingly rebuilt and reopened in 2004, with UNESCO recognition following soon after. The airport serving this Herzegovina city, coded OMO, has historically operated with limited scheduled commercial service, relying instead on seasonal charter flights and a notable volume of religious pilgrimage traffic tied to nearby Medjugorje, a Catholic pilgrimage site that has drawn millions of visitors since reports of Marian apparitions began there in the 1980s. Herzegovina's mild, Mediterranean-influenced climate, distinct from Bosnia's more continental interior, makes the region a popular stop for travelers exploring the wider Balkans. A single runway handles OMO's modest but steady traffic, reflecting a city still rebuilding its tourism profile decades after the war.
