Arnoro was a charter airline based in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was established in 2004 and started operations in November of that same year. It operated services to Scandinavia and Turkey. Its main base was Sarajevo International Airport. [1]
From start the airline had many technical problems. Flights to Scandinavia were soon forbidden because security door between cockpit and passenger cabin on their MD-81 were not installed. Flights were cancelled and no money was given back to any of passengers. After three months flights started again, but did not last very long. Sarajevo airport did not allowed Arnoro to fly anymore because of unpaid bill. Arnoro moved operations to Mostar's airport.
Arnoro charter flights called in Albania, Spain and Africa. In Gabon an MD-81 landed to pick passengers but as Gabon's government said they had no rights to enter the country and crew was left on board with no food for three days. Bosnian and French government made a deal to return crew to Sarajevo and Gabon was allowed to take over the aircraft. After that Arnoro halted all operations and nothing more was heard of it.
