Tivat and Podgorica airports are eight and ninth in the list of ten busiest airports in the territory of the former Yugoslavia. At the top of the list published yesterday by ExYU aviation is the airport "Nikola Tesla" in Belgrade, which in 2018 had 5.64 million passengers. Tivat, with1.24 million passengers, is in the eighth place, ahead of Podgorica, which had about 40,000 passengers less. The last one on the list is Sarajevo with 1.04 million passengers.
Last year, Podgorica had a 14.5% increase, placing it third in the fastest growing airports in ex-Yu behind Pristina airport, which had an increase of 14.6% and Skopje with 15.5%.
This is the result of Podgorica's achievement due to the Business Strategy of the Airports of Montenegro to concentrate the traffic of most of the so-called legacy and low-cost airline, while Tivat airport is of a seasonal character and is oriented towards charter airlines. Last year, Tivat had a growth of 10.3%, which makes it fifth in the list.
