Today, Air Montenegro realized the first flight on the Tivat-Izmir route.
A festive welcome was arranged for the first passengers from Izmir at the Tivat airport. Flights on this line will be operated three times a week - every Monday, Friday and Sunday.
The representative of Air Montenegro, Mina Muković Radonjić, said that in the coming period the company will continue to work on expanding its offer.
"We are very pleased that starting today we also offer flights to Izmir, which is one of our four new destinations for this year's summer season. In the coming period, we will continue to work on expanding the network of our destinations and improving our services, supporting the tourism economy and the development of Montenegro, while making the satisfaction of our passengers a priority," said Muković Radonjić.
The welcome of the first plane from Izmir was also attended by representatives of the Airport of Montenegro. Director of Tivat Airport, Vladimir Prašćević, announced that every good news for the national airline, Air Montenegro, is great news for the Airports of Montenegro.
"Izmir is the first new destination at Tivat Airport during this summer season. It is very important that one of our most important partners, Air Montenegro, strengthens its presence throughout Europe. During this summer, in addition to Izmir, of course Belgrade and Istanbul, Air Montenegro also announced operations to Baku, Brno, Ljubljana, Prague, Riga and Tallinn. "Tivat Airport will continue to be a reliable partner to colleagues from the national airline," said Praščević.
He added that Tivat Airport will be connected to around 40 destinations during the season.
The introduction of another destination to Turkey, in addition to the already existing Istanbul, is the result of great interest from travelers, and our flights to Izmir will undoubtedly contribute to the increase in tourist traffic between the two countries.
On this occasion, the National Tourist Organization (NTO) expressed satisfaction with the improvement of air connections with the Turkish market.
"We were pleased with the news that our strategic partner, the airline Air Montenegro, will fly to Izmir in addition to Istanbul this year. The fact is that we have a growing interest in Montenegro as a tourist destination from this market, so it is very important to work on improving the airline connectivity. According to Monstat data, last year we had about 95 thousand arrivals from this market, which is 117 percent more compared to 2022, and a 137 percent increase compared to 2019," the NTO said.
As one of the most important port cities of the Mediterranean, Izmir has been an economic and cultural center throughout history. Today, it has a multicultural character where East and West, Europe, Africa and Asia intertwine. The coast of Izmir is lined with beautiful beaches ideal for enjoyment and relaxation, which is why it attracts the attention of tourists from all over the world.
