Tivat Airport handles millionth passenger

NEWS FLASH

Tivat Airport welcomed its millionth passenger last week, marking the second consecutive year it has reached such a milestone. The millionth traveller arrived twelve days ahead of 2017 on a Montenegro Airlines flight from Moscow. Tivat Airport recently commenced the construction of a temporary makeshift terminal in order to deal with strong passenger growth and capacity constraints. The structure will be completed by the end of October. "The makeshift terminal will ease congestion, especially during the peak summer months. On the other hand, we can expect even better results next year because we will be better prepared to handle more traffic with greater capacity", the head of operator Airports of Montenegro, Danilo Orlandić, said. The country's other international airport, Podgorica, will welcome its millionth passenger of the year this autumn. Jointly, the two should handle 2.5 million travellers in 2018.
