Since two days ago, the airports in Podgorica and Tivat have been officially opened for commercial flights for citizens of countries where the rate of active cases of coronavirus is less than 25 per 100.000 inhabitants, but until yesterday there were no landings of large planes at those airports.
The list of countries, as announced, will be updated once a week by the National Coordinating Body for Combating Infectious Diseases (NKT).
The European countries currently on it include Slovenia, Croatia, Slovakia, Georgia, Switzerland, Albania, Austria, Norway, Monaco, Kosovo, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Denmark, Lithuania, Latvia, Azerbaijan, Luxembourg, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Israel. , Czech Republic, Finland and Estonia.
Among them, however, there are no countries that before the coronavirus were the leaders in the number of passengers on regular airlines to Montenegro (Serbia, Russia, Turkey, Great Britain, France or Italy).
"We can't wait for the first flights and passengers. Welcome", they said from the company Aerodromi Crne Gore (ACG) on social networks.
Detailed instructions on how to plan a trip can be found on the ACG website. ACG's core activity has been practically blocked since mid-March, when NKT decided to temporarily suspend air traffic as a preventive measure. According to unofficial information, ACG believes that the latest NKT measure will not lead to the restoration of commercial air traffic.
Epidemiologists believe that traffic should be established only with countries that are below the threshold of 25 cases of coronavirus per 100.000 inhabitants. However, unofficial sources from the top of ACG told "Vijesti" that "it is illusory to expect any airline to start flying to Montenegro again when it does not know for sure whether these flights will take place only for one, two or seven days or maybe more because there is always the possibility that in the meantime there will be an increase in the number of patients in the country from which she would fly to Montenegro, above the threshold set by the NKT at 25 cases of Covid-19 per 100.000 inhabitants...".
