If last year was busy for the airports of Podgorica and Tivat, 2018 looks set to break all records.
With both airports breaking the one million passenger mark in 2017, just what will the 2018 numbers look like? If the early signs continue, it is going to be quite a year.
As ExYuAviation reports, passenger traffic for the first quarter of 2018 is sharply up. Podgorica handled 181,327 passengers from January to March, up more than 18% on the corresponding period last year, while Tivat was up more than 20% with 59,449. Tivat's numbers will soon start to surge as Podgorica is more of a 12-month airport for scheduled traffic. Click here to see the full data.
