Montenegro Airlines to boost operations across network
Montenegro Airlines plans to introduce a new route and strengthen frequencies on a number of key services this coming summer season. The Montenegrin carrier will boost its operations from Podgorica to Ljubljana by adding an additional four weekly flights for a total of one daily rotation, while the carrier will also introduce a new seasonal service to Lisbon, linking Montenegro and Portugal with a scheduled flight for the first time. Operations to Lisbon will commence on June 22 and run each Monday until September 21. The carrier has also been in talks with Croatia Airlines over cooperation on future flights between Podgorica and Zagreb, which are expected to be run by its Croatian counterpart.
Montenegro Airlines will add an extra daily rotation between Tivat and Belgrade this coming summer season. The carrier plans to operate up to 29 weekly services between the two cities from June until September, an increase from last year’s 22 weekly flights. Belgrade is Montenegro Airlines’ busiest route with the carrier's passenger numbers on services to the Serbian capital increasing 3% in 2019. Furthermore, the airline will double its operations from Tivat to St Petersburg, with flights to run six instead of three times per week. The carrier previously said it was also considering introducing seasonal operations to Istanbul, although they have not been scheduled at this point.
Montenegro Airlines is still in the process of finalising its summer schedule. The airline will also operate a number of charter services. It previously noted it would lease an additional E195 jet for the coming summer. Montenegro Airlines will retire its sole operational Fokker 100 jet following the end of the 2020 summer season. The carrier’s CEO, Živko Banjević, recently said, “In the future, the plan is to have a fleet of five Embraer E195 jets, while a sixth plane, of the same or greater capacity, would be wet-leased through an ACMI over the summer season”.
