Kiss Simulation has recently released their updated rendition of Sarajevo International Airport (LQSA) for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, serving the city of Sarajevo in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and averaging 1.3 million passengers a year.

It was built in 1966 and opened for traffic three years later, although domestically. International operations began a year later, with Frankfurt as its first international destination.

The first renovation happened nearly 20 years later for the 1984 Winter Olympics, with a new terminal building, a runway extension, and navigational system improvements.

The terminal was expanded in 2017, with a new 10,000-square-meter building capable of handling up to 2 million passengers a year.

Its mountainous terrain and unpredictable weather have led to multiple financial losses over the years, most notably in December 2015, when over 40% of flights were canceled. The only way they could fix it would be by moving the threshold an additional 200 meters, which would shorten the runway, which is not ideal given that it’s already relatively short at 2,600 meters.

The scenery features an accurate rendition of the airport, including the new terminal extension, a custom runway profile, a real-world ILS profile, custom-made ground textures, an up-to-date ground layout, runway weathering, and more.

It’s available on SimMarket for $15.50, requiring at least 1.75 GB of free hard disk space. Owners of the 2020 version are entitled to a free upgrade.
