Windrose further expands EX-YU network
Ukraine’s Windrose Airlines will add its fourth destination in the former Yugoslavia by introducing flights between Kiev and Podgorica. Services between the Ukrainian and Montenegrin capitals are set to commence on December 1 and run twice per week, each Tuesday and Saturday. Flights will be operated by a mix of ATR72-600 and Embraer E145 aircraft, which have the capacity to seat 78 and 49 passengers respectively. Ticket sales have been launched via the airline's website. Windrose faces no competition on the route. Last year, Ukrainian low cost carrier SkyUp planned to launch services to Podgorica, however, the flights never materialised.
The development comes just weeks after Windrose Airlines scheduled services to Skopje and Belgrade, which will also launch during the first week of December. Furthermore, the carrier will increase frequencies on its recently launched flights between Kiev and Zagreb by adding an additional weekly rotation for a total of three. The extra service will commence on December 4. On the other hand, planned operations to Ljubljana have been put on hold due to entry restrictions. In addition to the nonstop Kiev service, Windrose offers transfer options with short connections from Kharkiv, Dnipro and Odessa.
Windrose will become the second new arrival this winter season at Podgorica Airport. It will also welcome seasonal winter flights from Luxembourg, operated by Luxair, which commence on December 18. The flights will operate to Tivat over the summer. Other carriers maintaining services to the Montenegrin capital this winter include Air Serbia, Austrian, Montenegro Airlines, Ryanair, Turkish Airlines and Wizz Air, although the latter will have no flights to Podgorica until mid-December.
