Summer Flight Schedule 2026: Where You Can Fly from Podgorica and Tivat

From the end of March, Montenegro’s airports in Podgorica and Tivat officially switch to their summer schedule and significantly expand their flight network. They offer both well-established regular routes and new seasonal destinations for tourists and local residents.

Main routes and flights from Podgorica

The capital’s airport (TGD) remains the main hub for scheduled and low-cost carriers this season. The main focus is on connectivity with major European capitals and business centers.

Key carriers such as Air Montenegro, Ryanair, Wizz Air, Austrian Airlines and Turkish Airlines, will provide stable service on the following routes:

  • Turkey: Daily flights to Istanbul, as well as flights to Ankara and Izmir.
  • Europe: Vienna, Belgrade, Ljubljana, Rome, Milan, Berlin, and Paris remain in the schedule with increased frequency.
  • Britain and Ireland: Popular flights to London and Manchester remain available.

Summer flight schedule from Tivat

Tivat Airport (TIV) is traditionally focused on serving tourist traffic. In the 2026 season, the return of many charter programs and an expansion of flight destinations in Western and Northern Europe is expected.

Main features of the summer flight schedule in Tivat:

  1. Scandinavia and the Baltics: An increase in flights from Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius, as well as Oslo and Stockholm, is expected.
  2. Israel: Direct service to Tel Aviv remains one of the priority routes for the national carrier Air Montenegro.
  3. United Kingdom: In addition to London, the number of flights from Birmingham and Bristol is increasing.

Infrastructure readiness for peak loads

The management of Airports of Montenegro states that both terminals are fully ready to handle the increased passenger flow. This year, special attention has been paid to reducing waiting times at passport control and improving service in the departure areas.

Experts predict that the 2026 season could become a record year in terms of the number of passengers carried, given the stabilization of the aviation market and the opening of new routes from Central European countries. Passengers are advised to arrive at the airports at least three hours before departure, especially in the peak months — July and August.

Podgorica Airport (TGD) — Summer 2026: Regular flights are planned from the capital to more than 40 cities. Main hubs:

  • Belgrade: Air Montenegro and Air Serbia (several times a day).
  • Istanbul: Turkish Airlines (daily), Pegasus (Ankara, Izmir).
  • Central Europe: Vienna (Austrian Airlines), Budapest (Wizz Air), Warsaw (LOT).
  • Western Europe: Rome, Milan (Wizz Air), Berlin, Paris (Air Montenegro/Transavia).
  • United Kingdom: London (Ryanair).
  • New this season: Antalya (SunExpress) and an expanded Wizz Air base (17 destinations).

Tivat Airport (TIV) — Summer 2026: Seasonal focus on resort destinations and charters:

  • Balkan region: Belgrade (intensive service throughout the season).
  • Israel: Tel Aviv (Air Montenegro and Israeli airlines).
  • The Baltics and Scandinavia: Riga, Vilnius, Tallinn (AirBaltic), Oslo, Stockholm, Helsinki (Norwegian/SAS).
  • United Kingdom: London, Manchester, Bristol, Birmingham (Jet2.com, EasyJet).
  • Europe: Prague, Berlin, Brussels.

Wizz Air base in Podgorica: a breakthrough in air travel accessibility

A landmark event of the season was the opening on March 30, 2026 of the Wizz Air base in Podgorica. The low-cost carrier stationed two modern Airbus A321neo aircraft at the capital’s airport, making it possible to launch 17 new routes at once. Thanks to this move, the airports of Montenegro gained more than one million additional passenger seats per year. Now, from Podgorica, it is possible to fly directly and at affordable prices to cities such as Paris (Beauvais), Hamburg, Barcelona, Maastricht, and Valencia. The expansion of the presence of Europe’s largest low-cost carrier not only stimulates competition, but also creates around 80 direct jobs, strengthening Podgorica’s status as a key aviation hub in the Western Balkans region.

Important: This schedule is preliminary. Airports of Montenegro warn that airlines reserve the right to change flight times and frequencies depending on operational conditions.
