Montenegro Airlines to launch Tuzla flights

Montenegro Airlines introducing Vienna - Tuzla service from December 21

Montenegro Airlines will introduce flights from Tuzla to Vienna next month, in line with the carrier's plans to expand its operations within the region. The route, which will operate twice per week, will be officially presented at a press conference in Tuzla today, which will be attended by the CEO of Montenegro Airlines, Daliborka Pejović, representatives from Tuzla Airport, as well as the Prime Minister of the Tuzla Canton, Bego Gutić. The new service will commence on December 21 and operate twice per week, each Monday and Wednesday. Montenegro Airlines will not connect its hubs in Podgorica and Tivat with Bosnia and Herzegovina's third largest city as it plans to operate the flights with the following routeing: Podgorica - Vienna - Tuzla - Vienna - Podgorica.

The new service to the Austrian capital marks the first agreement made between Tuzla and a commercial carrier other than Wizz Air in more than two years and the tenth destination to be served from the airport. A significant Bosnian diaspora resides in Austria, with the new flights to commence just in time for the Christmas and New Year holiday period. Tuzla Airport has struggled to attract airlines and passengers since it opened its doors for commercial use in 1998. However, its fortunes turned in 2013 when Wizz Air launched its first service from Malmo. Flights quickly proved popular and the no frills airline expanded its network. In 2014, the airport handled 151.353 passengers, a notable 146% increase on the year before. The airport welcomed more passengers last year than it did for the three previous years combined. During the first ten months of 2015, Tuzla Airport continued to see its passenger numbers grow with 219.185 travellers handled, an increase of 74.7% compared to the same period last year. It has already overtaken 2014's end-of-year result. The airport initially planned to handle some 200.000 travellers this year, although this figure has now been surpassed.

In September, Montenegro Airlines said it was looking to expand regionally and forge closer ties with carriers within the former Yugoslavia. The airline noted its plans to establish flights to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo and Macedonia over the next year. Within the former Yugoslavia, the carrier currently runs services only to Ljubljana and Belgrade. Recently, it was announced that it would operate charters to Zadar to cater for Chinese tourists visiting Montenegro, however these services have yet to materialise. Last week, the airline signed a Memorandum of Understanding for Strategic Commercial Cooperation with Etihad Airways. The deal gives Montenegro Airlines access to Etihad’s global network of destinations and will allow the airline to use the Emirati carrier’s resources in order to improve fleet utilisation during the slow winter months.

Montenegro Airlines maintains three weekly flights from Podgorica to Vienna this winter season and boasts a codeshare agreement with Austrian Airlines on the route. Further details for the new Vienna - Tuzla service can be found here


UPDATE

At today's press conference, Montenegro Airlines said it anticipates for the new service between Vienna and Tuzla to become a success. Initially, the airline will operate a total of forty flights, until the start of the 2016 summer season in late March next year. The carrier's CEO, Daliborka Pejović, said, "We are delighted that Montenegro Airlines will have a role in developing air travel in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is in our interest for this new route to become a success. We hope that today marks the start of a successful partnership, which will result in improved regional connectivity. I honestly hope that we will help Tuzla Airport become even recognisable in the region".

    It's good that TGD passengers won't have the additional stop in Tuzla, while passengers from Tuzla also get their nonstop flights.

  3. Apparently this is the site for purchasing tickets:

    https://mysky.ba/

    VIE-TZL starts at 49.58 euros and TZL-VIE starts at 19 euros.

    Very reasonable starting price in my opinion. Hard to tell if they can profit from such low fares. I wonder if subsidies are offered.

    If this works out for MGX, they should copy paste this for INI.

      JU isn't a hindrance to having more lines at BNX. It is bribery and corruption continuously present in the Republic of Srpska Government and, therefore, in their Ministry for Communication and Transport Affairs which consequently leads to incapable Supervisory and Managing boards what definitely causes incapable employees enjoy themselves at many important positions in the airport operator. To cap it all, at that airport, all walls have ears. By and large, BNX will not move a badge.

      So no, it is not the market. It is the terrible incompetence of those responsible for this airport.

      Additionally, BNX is closer by car/bus to Vienna. More pax will use the plane from TZL rather than driving.

      Personally I'd have preferred an OMO link but I am still happy for Tuzla and the Viennese diaspora.

      If this route proves popular one can be sure that OS will kick out YM soon with their more efficient Dash 8-400s.

      BNX:
      1 linija sa 3 polaska tjedno i tek 800-tinjak sjedala mjesečno.

      - to je daleko manje nego što ima INI, TZL, OMO, OSI, pa čak i BWK

      Smanjenje letova i putnika je konstanta.

      Istovremeno se troši novac na neuspjelu liniju koja se konstantno reže umjesto da se taj novac potroši na neku drugu uspješniju liniju (VIE, MUC, ZRH, Wizzair...).

      Paralelno sa time broj putnika u okruženju (SJJ, OMO, TZL, OSI, ZAG) ozbiljno raste.

      Ako ovo nisu razlozi za proglašavanje uprave nekompetentnom i otpuštanje iste istog momenta, onda stvarno ne znam što bi još trebali napraviti da ih se naglavačke izbaci van.

    E sad, obzirom na code-share Montenegra i Austriana ovo zapravo i nije glupa ideja. Naravno i opet glupost u realizaciji. Logično bi bilo da je Montenegro napravio letove iz TGD sa 1stop. Iskreno to bi im moglo povečati frekvenciju za dodatni let iz TGD (2x tjedno nonstop, 2x tjedno via TZL), a smanjilo bi i rizik početka letova iz TZL. U ljetnoj sezoni mogli su uvezati jednom tjedno TIV (turisti za TIV), tj. napraviti 3x tjedno nonstop TGD, 3x tjedno TGD via TZL i 1x tjedno TIV via TZL.

    Da je ostala linija TGD-TZL-VIE pozitivne strane:
    - Ova linija će sigurno biti code-share sa Austrianom, znači putnici iz Tuzle će se moći konektirati preko Beča na niz destinacija u Europi i svijetu.
    - Montenegro bi time omogućio veći broj frekvencija iz Podgorice za Beč
    - Bilo bi putnika i za Podgoricu (vrlo malo, ali nešto bi se našlo)
    - Ako sve pametno poslože mogli bi napraviti i konekcije iz Tuzle preko Podgorice za ostale destinacije, poglavito Rim, Moskvu, Paris, London, Copenhagen, Dusseldorf i Frankfurt

    Negativne strane:
    - premala frekvencija, linija za VIE bi morala biti najmanje 5 puta tjedno, a to bi značilo da svaki let iz TGD za VIE ide preko TZL, što svakako nije prihvatljivo za putnike iz Crne Gore i konekcije iz TGD preko VIE
    - demotivacija putnika iz Crne Gore, produžavanje putovanja i motivacija za korištenje letova Austriana
    - loš image Montenegra

    I meni tu zapravo nije jasno koga vraga radi Croatia? Ova linija bi bila savršena, ali stvarno savršena za Croatiu. Uz frekvenciju svaki dan:

    TZL 06:45 - 07:30 ZAG 08:15 - 09:30 VIE
    VIE 19:35 - 20:30 ZAG 21:15 - 22:00 TZL

    - svakodnevna frekvencija nije apsolutno nikakav problem jer imaju dva dnevna polaska iz ZAG
    - nonstop iz ZAG i 1stop iz TZL nije problem za potencijalne putnike
    - istovremeno putnici mogu preko ZAG odraditi apsolutno sve konekcije
    - da ne spominjemo koliko savršena bi bila ova veza za putnike iz TZL koji trebaju u jednom danu obaviti posao u ZAG i vratiti se nazad, a zadovoljava i sve ostale P2P putnike iz Tuzle
    - ovo omogučava i jednodnevne izlete u Zagreb, ali i short breakove u kojima nije potrebno dodatno noćenje, nego se produžuje jedan dan više bez noćenja
    Istu stvar bi trebali napraviti iz OMO via ZAG za MUC.

    Naprosto se pitam jel netko uopće razmišlja u CTN-u ili tamo samo piju kavu i igraju igrice na kompjuteru?

      Njima je vaznije da postoji BNX-BEG, kad bi im ponudio Bog zna koja kompanija velika letove, oni bi odbili jer samo Air Serbia dolazi u obzir.
      Jedna stvari mi je smijesna u ovom svemu, kad je WizzAir vec prije Tuzle ponudio BNX letova i kasnije mozda i bazu, onda su u RS rekli "oni nece nama nesto donjeti nego zele da uzmu i dobiju nesto". Kao nisu htjeli da placaju nekoj kompaniji pare da bi ona letila sa BNX a troje letova sedmicno se izgleda bas moze placati. Kad je Air Serbia, vazno je da Air Serbia bude tu u Banja Luci, pa nek zemlja propadne.
      Iduce godine u ova doba propast nece vise biti ni ta tri leta sedmicno i BEG-BNX ce biti proslost.
      Sto je najvise tuzno je ta stvar sto politicari u RS misle da je BEG veliki centar i da je to kao Frankfurt ili London Heathrow tako je kad seljaci koji ne znaju ni engleski upravljaju entitet i aerodrom. Vjerujem da nisu nikada culi za British Airways ili spisak kompanija koje lete sa FRA ili sa LHR.
      Eto sad ce biti BEG-JFK, ali Air Serbia nije spremna za interkontinentalne letove i ti letovi su politicki kao i sve ostalo na Balkanu, ali pitanje je dal ce nje biti za ljetnu sezonu 2017. Ja vjerujem u 25-30% LF i da ce Vucic morati dobar novac placati da bi se letilo i da ce se Air Serbia lijepo zaduziti i zavrsit ce kao i Malev sa interkontinentalnim letovima.

Reci sta zelis, ali da nije Etihada i aviona njihove alliance ne bi bilo nista od kompanije.

Ja znam da je Air Serbia velika stvari za srbe ali treba biti malo realan i informisan.
      Smatram i dalje da interkontinentalni letovi vise nisu realni kad nema Jugoslavije barem regularni letovi, da, i vjerujem da cu biti upravu kad krenu letovi za JFK i kad se vidi LF.
      A zelim reci ovo za kraj, nije mene briga ni za JP ni za OU, ja gledam sa druge perspektive. Da je JAT opstao, moglo bi biti nesto mnogo mnogo bolje nego ovo individualno danas i moglo bi se kupovati avione a ne leasing. Svaka cast Kondicu za dobar posao (JFK nije imao izbora jer ga su politicari gnjavili) ali nemoj mi reci da je Srbija i Air Serbia nesto mocno kad sam znas da nema para za kupovinu nema srpski para i da bi Air Serbia kupila dio naprimjer neke druge manje kompanije kao Montenegro Airlines smatram da kompanija treba biti barem u stanju da moze kupovati svoje nove avione iz fabrike a ne da zivi od tudi aviona za jedno odredeno vrijeme. Ne znam dal postoji neka jos kompanija u Etihad alliance, cak i Alitalia je vlasnik svoji neki aviona i Italija moze da nabavi nove avione?
      Croatia jeste na drugom mjestu sto se tice broj putnika, ali su barem vlasnici nekoliko svoji aviona i narucili su avione koje ce Hrvatska sama platiti kreditom.

      In my opinion, programmed long-haul BEGJFK flights aren't in the essence Air Serbia's but Etihad Airways' big deal. Alone, Air Serbia wouldn't be able to lunch such flights for at least two decades from now on for being a small country in which bribery and corruption, in parallel with organised crime, have dismantled its economy what consequently led to much smaller gross domestic product per capita in Serbia and much emptiest citizen's pockets . But, taking Air Serbia's code-share agreement with Etihad Airways into account, there could be enough seats booked in because of potential transfer PAX to and from Abu Dhabi, the rest of the Near East, besides Romania, Bulgaria, Russia, and so on, but it can't be guaranteed of course. Many things will change in the close future so time will tell. What can be said for sure, BEGJFK flights will boost Etihad's AUHBEG flights.

      Concerning BNXBEG flights, currently, BEGBNX route is somehow sustainable for Air Serbia, especially thanks to the fact that airline has been exempted from paying any airport taxes at both BEG and BNX from the word go. If JU now started to pay the taxes, its interest would be smaller, it means, the route wouldn't be as wanted but it would still make some pocket money, and the route would still provide PAX for JU's international flights to many other destinations. Of course, concerning that route, Air Serbia has got a problem associated with the unavoidable alternation of the winter and summer season flight frequency, mostly due to dismantled economy of the Republic of Srpska and so depending on the PAX living and working in the EU who rather increase their travels to the RS during the holiday period in the summer and not in the winter.

      On the other side, BNX can not at all survive from just one route compressing three flights per week to BEG even though those cargo flights to Istanbul are taken into account. It seems to me, BNX managing board is lulled with that airfreight. They might consider the deal as their success even though, in essence, it isn't true at all. Neither the BNXBEG flights nor the mentioned airfreight are their merits. Also, their approach to this line of work is for sure wrong for such cargo deal will not last forever. Comparing to three other airports from the B&H environment, it's obvious, the PAX both wants and needs are different to what the managing board guys offer. Also, the number of passengers has plummeted comparing to last year so we can only come to conclusion these guys aren't capable of managing the airport. And, if 50% is true of what can be read on the internet forums regarding that airport, those guys have to be dismissed for many other reasons as well; together with the guys from the supervisory board and the assistant minister responsible for the civilian air traffic of the Republic of Srpska as well. The last hope for this airport is the new minister, who took over the Ministry for Communications and Transport a year ago, will at length withdraw certain steps...

    Absolutely! If there is an empty airport or an underserved market anywhere in Europe, it is all one huge conspiracy to protect ASL from the competition!

    You people really, seriously, urgently need some professional help.

      But on those empty airports Air Serbia is not flying with subventions of local government.
