Montenegro’s aviation sector is soaring, with Podgorica and Tivat airports emerging as two of the fastest-growing in the former Yugoslav region.
In the second quarter of 2025 alone, Tivat added a striking 91,404 seats, while Podgorica grew by 58,772—surpassing growth seen in Priština, Tuzla, Banja Luka, and Niš.
Yet, regional powerhouses still dominate. Belgrade leads the charge with 271,140 additional seats, driven by Air Serbia’s five new routes and Wizz Air’s deployment of larger A321neos.
Sarajevo follows with 192,163 new seats, courtesy of Ryanair and Pegasus Airlines, while Zagreb adds 188,932, thanks to boosts from Ryanair and Croatia Airlines.
Elsewhere, Split, Skopje, Ljubljana, and Dubrovnik also post notable gains, while Zadar sees a sharp decline due to Ryanair’s withdrawal.
As air travel reshapes across the Balkans, Montenegro is no longer just a scenic layover—it’s a destination on the rise.
