01 July 2019 - Director of the Airports of Montenegro, Danilo Orlandić said in an interview for CdM that they are happy to announce that Montenegro already welcomed over 1 million passengers in international traffic.
According to him, the number of passengers exceeded the figures of 2018 by 10%, which in the end justified the optimistic estimations from the beginning of the year.
“Already now we can say that 2019 will be more successful than 2018, a record-breaking year, and based on the announcements, we expect the airports in Podgorica and Tivat to welcome around 2.600.000 passengers. We are happy to hear about this data but it also creates an obligation for us to boost our capacities and provide better service to the passengers,” Orlandić noted.
Commenting on the flock of crowds through Tivat Airport, he noted that crowds at the airports are nothing unusual, as they happen in much larger airports, especially in the peak season.
“I do not see why this should be perceived as bad news. Of course, it is nothing new that we lack space and that is why we constructed departure Terminal 2 in Tivat Airport with the support of the Government of Montenegro,” concluded Orlandić.
Director of the Airports of Montenegro also claims that currently there are around 25% of departing tourists using this facility, and their number is to be even higher in the next few days. In addition, the Airports of Montenegro has the plan to improve conditions for tourists coming to the country by upgrading the existing terminal.
