Flights to Banja Luka
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Banja Luka is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Banja Luka International Airport (BNX), 19 km (12 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,202 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Banja Luka International Airport | BNX | 19 km (12 mi) | 8,202 ft | 400 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,202 ft, BNX handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 400 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
