SJJ Sarajevo

How deep the SJJ board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from SJJ. This reads the same 40 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound, what the clock here does to a Gulf working day and which of the destinations shut at night, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 34of the 40 destinations are flown by one airline
• 29destinations run less than once a day
• 1destination has four or more departures a day
• 25%of the destinations name Ryanair, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at SJJ

28 airlines appear on the SJJ board and they do not hold it evenly. Ryanair is on 10 of the 40 destinations, 25 per cent of them, and on 9 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 4.2 of the 30.8 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is AJet on 3 destinations. 21 of the 28 airlines at SJJ appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

That is a middling concentration at SJJ: one airline on 25 per cent of the destinations and the other 75 per cent spread across 27 airlines. A cancellation inside the Ryanair network is often survivable inside the same booking, but on the 30 destinations Ryanair does not touch, a rebooking means moving to a carrier the desk has to check for a through fare first.

How much of the SJJ board is daily

Of the 40 destinations, 11 are flown at least once a day and 29 are not, 3 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the SJJ board is flown 3 times a week.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: SJJ to Muscat (MCT) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 12.6 of the 30.8 departures a day, 40.9 per cent of the whole board. With 72.5 per cent of the 40 destinations running less than daily, this is a board that rewards booking the outbound before the collection is confirmed rather than after.

The ten destinations out of SJJ where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable. 16 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from SJJ

The desk holds the return direction for 33 of the 40 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On one of them the return into SJJ runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gap is Beirut (BEY) at 0.29 out a day against 0.14 back.

It runs the other way as well: Riyadh (RUH) files 0.86 a day back into SJJ against 0.29 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at SJJ

SJJ keeps Europe/Sarajevo time, two hours behind Dubai in summer and three hours behind in winter, because the clock here moves and the Gulf clock does not.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 07:00 at SJJ, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for seven hours. That is wide enough to settle a customs question at SJJ and still make a departure the same day.

The night at SJJ

7 of the destinations from here carry a documented night restriction of their own, which is a departure time question at this end rather than an arrival problem at the other.

Into Frankfurt-am-Main (FRA) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from SJJ that lands inside it leaves around 21:12, on a modelled block of 1h 48m. Into Vienna (VIE) the door shuts at 23:30 local, so the last departure from SJJ that lands inside it leaves around 22:16, on a modelled block of 1h 14m. Into Zurich (ZRH) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from SJJ that lands inside it leaves around 21:24, on a modelled block of 1h 36m. Those three departure times out of SJJ are worked backwards from the published window with the block time model this site uses everywhere, 720 to 880 km an hour by sector length with thirty minutes on the ground, so they are arithmetic rather than a timetable and the desk checks the published departure before it promises the landing.

Where SJJ turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the Bosnia and Herzegovina country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

The site publishes 4 airport pair pages that start or end at SJJ, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Sarajevo to Kuwait City (KWI), Sarajevo to Dubai (DXB) and Sarajevo to Beirut (BEY).

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with SJJ already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 40 destinations above.
