At the end of May, Air Montenegro will launch three new charter routes to the Baltic countries - Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.
Return flights from Tivat to Vilnius, Riga and Tallinn will take place from the end of May until the beginning of October, twice a week on each of these lines.

For a long time, there has been a great interest of tourists from the Baltic countries in Montenegro. By launching lines from Tivat to Vilnius, Riga and Tallinn, the national airline responds to high demand during the peak summer season, but also in the important post-season period. By contracting direct charter lines to these cities, we will make our country even more accessible and attractive to the market, which has great potential," the national airline said.

As they state, negotiations are ongoing for the launch of other charter lines.

"We receive optimistic announcements from tourism officials and our associates from different markets, so that this summer season we will connect Montenegro with numerous destinations. Our goal is to surpass the results from 2022 this year and transport around 400,000 passengers in regular and around 90,000 in charter traffic", the company states.

They remind that this year the national airline also flies to Belgrade, Ljubljana, Banja Luka, Istanbul, Prague, Brno, Katowice, Rzeszów, Paris, Nantes, Lyon, Frankfurt, Zurich, Copenhagen, Bratislava, Tel Aviv...

Latvian airline Air Baltic will enter the Montenegrin market on May 4, 2023, with a two-week rotation between Riga and Tivat.

The airline has never served Montenegro in the past, and the entry into the new market is part of a broader plan for the region, which will also include flights to Belgrade, Split and Dubrovnik

All destinations will be connected by an Airbus A220 aircraft with 145 seats, which is the only type in the airline's fleet.

On May 16, the airline will start with two weekly flights from Riga to Belgrade, which will mark its return to the Serbian capital after twelve years. It initially operated flights between the two cities from 2009 to 2011, but ceased operations along with several other destinations as the carrier struggled with financial problems and fleet shortages at the time.

Air Baltic CEO Martin Gauss recently told EX-YU Aviation News that they have always talked about Belgrade and that the airline will increase its presence in Croatia by introducing flights from Tallinn to Split and Dubrovnik from May 1st and 2nd. Both routes will be held twice a week.
