Right now, we are persuing the issue with GermanWings, and will follow-up with the cosumer protection advocates (Verbraucherzentrale) if needed.

4th April 2007 press release from Germanwings:

Owing to the fact that Germanwings has still not received from the Bosnian authorities its previously agreed authorisation to operate flights, we unfortunately have been forced to cancel flights between Cologne and Sarajevo between April 7 and April 25 2007.

Passengers who have booked flights to and from Sarajevo during this period can change their bookings via our call centre. Passengers who do not wish to rebook will of course be granted a full refund.
