Over the 2025 summer season, from March 30 until October 25, Air Montenegro plans to introduce two new routes to its network, while discontinuing four services which were maintained last year. The carrier will commence operations from Podgorica to both Prague and Baku. However, frequencies on several routes will be reduced due to operations with three instead of four aircraft compared to last summer. The airline is currently in talks to dry-lease an additional jet, which could join the fleet in the coming months and potentially alter existing service frequencies. As of now, Air Montenegro plans to operate with two of its Embraer E195s and one wet-leased E190 from Ukraine's Windrose Airlines.
Unlike last year, Air Montenegro will have a more pronounced seasonality in its timetable, with frequencies peaking during the busy summer months of June, July and August. Please note that the changes listed below are preliminary and based on current availability in the Global Distribution System (GDS). Furthermore, the tables below display the peak weekly frequency on each route during the course of the summer season. Increases in frequencies on select routes may only take effect later in the summer, as noted in the 'notes' section.
Air Montenegro will enter the 2025 summer season by completing its transition to the Amadeus Global Distribution System. This change will make Air Montenegro flights visible on most online ticket search engines, travel providers and tour operators worldwide. Over time, the transition to Amadeus will enable the carrier to sell connecting flights, codeshare flights and introduce various ancillary services.
A review of Air Serbia’s and Croatia Airlines’ summer season network will be published in the coming days.
Departing Podgorica
Departing Tivat
Quite a decrease
ReplyDeleteSeems like a desperate move to cut costs rather than a strategic one.
DeleteI am disappointed because they didn't plan flights Tivat Banja Luka
DeleteThey no longer have the Trade Air A320 so no surprise.
ReplyDeleteVery good news. That plane was horrible and made huge problems last year. No wonder they didn't take it again.
Delete+1
DeleteWhy was it horrible?
DeleteTrade Air are the regional leader in ACMI wet leading, so I don't know why their plane was horrible?
DeleteIt is not difficult to be a leader in ACMi when there are barely any ACMI airlines in the region. The aircraft in question is old and constantly broke down. It created a mess in Air Montenegro's network last summer and was out of service for weeks.
DeleteI don't know about TDR wet leading but I know about you 10.24 being wet while TDR cheer leading 🙂
DeleteWhile most of the carriers are expanding their network they are reducing it. Absolutely no idea what they are doing
ReplyDeleteThey have one plane less than last summer. So it was impossible to grow network.
DeleteThey also operate out of a small market. Not a lot of demand. JU did butcher them from both TIV & TGD.
DeleteDon't forget that they also have a lot of charters.
DeleteTIA butchers them
DeleteUnderwhelming
ReplyDeletePassengers deserve better.
DeleteDisaster of an airline.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't say so. They managed to launch flights relatively quickly. They have a nice brand and aircraft are in good shape.
Delete"Over time, the transition to Amadeus will enable the carrier to sell connecting flights, codeshare flights and introduce various ancillary services."
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the 1990s
I still can't believe the airline is unable to sell connecting flights...
DeleteIt’s about time Air Montenegro caught up with the digital age.
DeleteTheir summer network from TGD only goes to show how limited demand is from Montenegro. Just imagine how weak demand is in winter when this is what their summer timetable looks like.
ReplyDeleteAir Serbia's ATR is a Godsent for routes such as BEG-TGD and BEG-TIV outside the busier periods of the year. Overall I don't think Air Montenegro has a bright future ahead of it.
You really evaluate the demand for the entire airport by one carrier's performance?
DeleteDon't get the decision to launch Copenhagen over much bigger European hubs last year.
ReplyDeleteThey should really start flying to more European hubs where there is actual demand.
ReplyDelete+1
DeleteWhere is “Montenegro keeps winning “?
ReplyDeleteWent to Zagreb to hire Jasmin to achieve even better results. Maybe they could try Podgorica to Rome via Tivat 🙂
DeleteIt just means last summer's network was unrealistic and loss making.
ReplyDeleteExactly. That's why the previous CEO was replaced.
DeleteAir Montenegro needs to rethink its strategy if it wants to keep up with competitors.
ReplyDeleteBeing able to carry some transfers would help.
DeleteWho would transfer with Air Montenegro and to where?
Deletelol
DeleteI do not think that anon 13:04 means transfers with Podogrica/Tivat being the hub. But passengers leaving Montenegro can transfer to other airlines in the destination Air Montenegro flies through codeshares.
DeleteAnyone remember how many weekly flights Montenegro used to have to BEG?
ReplyDeleteIn summer 2019 exactly the same as Air Montenegro.
DeleteThanks
DeleteI was under the impression it was more
Delete^ nope

Back then JU had much less flights.
DeleteYes, they capitalized on the Montenegro Airlines bankruptcy.
DeleteConsidering Air Montenegro isn't the biggest airline operating from Montenegro I think this is an ok schedule. It serves mainly to bring tourists to the country which are not handled by other airlines.
