Lufthansa enters Montenegrin market
Lufthansa inaugurated flights to Montenegro yesterday with the launch of its seasonal service between Munich and Tivat, which is being followed up this afternoon by flights from Frankfurt to the coastal city. The head of operator Airports of Montenegro, Danilo Orlandić, said the new services were "just the beginning" of its cooperation with the German carrier. "Ticket sales for both routes are performing very well, which justifies their launch. We negotiated for a long time and I am certain this is just the beginning of a successful partnership. We are continuing with talks which, I hope, will result in the introduction of new routes", Mr Orlandić said.
Lufthansa's Head of Sales for Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe, Peter Pullem, noted, "Since Montenegro is an important market for us, Lufthansa has decided to introduce two new routes to Tivat, linking it with both our hubs - Frankfurt and Munich. We are very proud to start flights to Montenegro, giving locals the opportunity to transfer onto our global network inside the Lufthansa Group". The new services to Tivat mark the first time Lufthansa has operated flights to Montenegro with its own metal. Other Lufthansa Group member airlines which maintain services to the country include Brussels Airlines from the Belgian capital to Tivat, Eurowings from Dusseldorf to Tivat, and Austrian Airlines from Vienna to Podgorica.
Lufthansa's operations to Tivat will be maintained once per week from both Munich and Frankfurt, with its 136-seat Airbus A319 aircraft. The airline is expanding its operations across the former Yugoslavia this summer and will also introduce a seasonal one weekly service from Frankfurt to Rijeka on May 25. The German carrier also commenced an extra seven weekly flights to Belgrade this week with an additional daily service between Munich and the Serbian capital, totalling three daily flights. The airline will maintain the same number of services as last summer to its other destinations in the former Yugoslavia including Zagreb, Sarajevo, Dubrovnik, Split, Pula and Zadar.
