Air Montenegro plans to expand its operations during the 2023/24 winter season, which begins tomorrow and runs until March 30 of next year. The carrier will introduce a new two weekly service between Podgorica and Rome on December 15. Montenegro's former national airline, Montenegro Airlines, maintained flights between the two capitals until the onset of the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020, while Wizz Air has this year turned the city pair into a seasonal summer route. Furthermore, Air Montenegro has upgraded its seasonal summer flights between Podgorica and Zurich into year-round operations. From Tivat, the airline will increase frequencies to Istanbul from five weekly, during the previous winter, to daily.
The Montenegrin flag carrier is still undecided whether it will follow through with plans to open a base in Tuzla. The carrier had initially intended to station an aircraft in the city and launch flights to ten destinations across Europe. However, the airline has only been granted permits to operate seventh-freedom flights on two of its planned routes - Istanbul and Maastricht - while authorities from Luxembourg are yet to make a final decision on the service request.
Air Montenegro plans to wet-lease either a CRJ900 or an Embraer E190 or E195 aircraft from January 1, 2024 until March 31, 2024, with delivery to take place by December 31, 2023. The jet will operate alongside the airline's two E195s. Furthermore, Air Montenegro is currently in the process of selecting a new passenger service system provider (reservation system), which, once implemented, should enable the airline to sell connecting flights and offer more options to its passengers.
