Banja Luka International Airport in a nutshell
The only airport of Republika Srpska, one of the parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina, is located 25 km north of Banja Luka. It is one of the smallest airports in Europe in terms of terminal area, which can be crossed on foot in 1 minute.
The terminal is only open a few hours before departure and it is not possible to stay overnight.
Due to the very small size of the airport, you only need to arrive 75 minutes before departure.
Most flights to Banja Luka are operated by Ryanair, which flies mainly to cities in Western and Northern Europe. Among the network carriers, you can buy tickets to Banja Luka via airserbia.com.

March 2025 - the bus to the airport runs exactly according to
https://smiljiccompany.ba/avio-transferi/
The bus departs from the airport approximately 20 - 30 minutes after the arrival of the plane. Payment of 5 Euro or 10 KM after boarding and settling in, on higher value Euro notes the driver will return in KM. In BL there are quite a few ATMs in the centre, except Unicredit everywhere charge for withdrawal, Unicredit free. Card payment is not exactly common, I wouldn't rely on it. Almost every cafe has WIFI, passworded, the cafe on the 1st floor of NC BOSCA has WIFI without a password.
Does anyone have any experience of where to rent a car for the day? According to Google Maps, there is no rental service at the airport and there are a couple of local services within walking distance. But you can only book by calling on the phone, which I don't really want to do.
I don't have personal experience, but what about https://www.rentacarbanjaluka.ba...car-rental? You can book online.
Hi, we are arriving from Vienna at 20:20, according to the schedule there is nothing going towards the centre. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks!
I wouldn't bet on the roster being accurate and up to date, I would ask them via email: smiljic.travel@gmail.com.
