NEWS FLASH
Montenegro Airlines in bankruptcy plans to begin aircraft line maintenance at Belgrade Airport. The former national carrier has leased premises at Serbia’s main airport which will be used for the maintenance of Embraer E195 and Fokker 100 jets. The bankruptcy administrator will now lodge an application with the Serbian Civil Aviation Directorate for the company to be issued a permit. Montenegro Airlines has all the necessary equipment in order to carry out line maintenance. The company said it is already negotiating with several potential clients. Montenegro Airlines terminated operations on December 25 of last year after the state said it was no longer able to finance the carrier. It has since declared bankruptcy and a new national airline has been established in its place. Montenegro Airlines hopes the line base in Belgrade will generate income and increase the company's bankruptcy estate.
Perfect for OU :p
ReplyDeleteThe sarcasm is strong in this one.
DeleteWhy would they setup a maintenance base in Belgrade vs TGD ?
ReplyDeleteTo serve other customers.
DeleteWay more airlines fly to BEG vs. TGD.
DeleteI agree, but podgorica have some hangars there and load of space where they could expand.
DeleteNo one will fly to Podgorica just for that.

DeleteWhen somebody is doing maintenance usually he flies exactly to a specific airport specially for that.
For base maintenance, yes, but not for line maintenance.

DeleteDon't be stupid.
Line maintenance is needed for airplanes coming and going on regular basis....usually smaller things. My guess is that they have licences for E195 which is more frequent visitor in Belgrade than in TGD or TIV and they want a piece of cake too.
ReplyDeleteWho is financing this bankrupt company? I don't get it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, why they need to maintain aircrafts if they do not fly. I don't get it.
DeleteHowever, Montenegro keeps winning...
