PHOTOS: Luxair touches down in Podgorica
NEWS FLASH
Luxembourg’s national carrier Luxair launched scheduled flights between the Grand Duchy and Podgorica yesterday. The Montenegrin diaspora is the largest in Luxembourg out of the former Yugoslav republics, counting some 9.065 people. “We saw how important this service is to our diaspora and how emotional they were upon arrival. We truly believe this is one of the best decisions we have made in the last couple of years, both because of our people, but also because it is no small feat being connected with the heart of Europe”, the General Manager of operator Airports of Montenegro, Danilo Orlandić, said. Luxair’s Executive Vice President for Tour Operating & Sales, Alberto Kunkel, noted, “With Luxembourg being located at the heart of Europe, this direct connection between Luxembourg and Montenegro will bring new opportunities for both countries. This connectivity will allow the expatriate community settled in Luxembourg to travel back to its home country, the travellers from Luxembourg and the greater region to discover beautiful Montenegro, and the Balkan community to travel to Luxembourg and the surroundings, including France, Germany and Belgium”.
Luxair will operate two weekly flights to Podgorica with its 76-seat Dash 8 Q400 turboprop. It will commence a one weekly seasonal service to Tivat on May 15 with its 141-seat Boeing 737-700 jet. Services to Tivat are being targeted at leisure travellers. Mr Kunkel said, “We have been thinking about these flights for the last couple of years because Montenegro is a fantastic holiday destination. Therefore, we are not only relying on local communities that would like to visit their homeland, but tourism potential as well”. Luxair is selling Tivat as a holiday destination through its tour operator arm. Prices start from 450 euros per person for a week and include airfare, hotel, transfers and breakfast. Eleven hotels ranging from three to five stars have been included in the offer.
