The national air carrier of BiH is expected to shut down entirely before the end of 2015, according to a union representative. BH Airline suspended all flights earlier this year, and currently carries a debt of 35 million KM. The airline’s owner, the Federation of BiH, has yet to fix a date for the company’s liquidation, but there is no plan to save the company.
Around 80 workers are currently employed by BH Airlines, and while some of them will find new jobs at Sarajevo airport, the future of 50 of them remains unclear.
“We’ll probably end up in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s employment bureau, waiting for a new job,” said Ziga.
“We haven’t received our salary for the past nine months. We’re just calling on the government of the Federation to officially start the liquidation of the company,” he said.
The workers hope that they finally will get their unpaid wages as part of the liquidation process.
