Montenegro’s new national airline, Air Montenegro, will commence scheduled operations on June 10 with flights from Podgorica and Tivat to Belgrade. In order to launch services, the carrier will initially utilise a single Embraer E195 jet, previously operated by Montenegro Airlines. With exception to the first few days when the timetable differs, the airline will maintain six weekly flights between Podgorica and Belgrade, as well as twelve weekly rotations between Tivat and the Serbian capital. The aircraft will be deployed in W rotations from Belgrade to serve both Podgorica and Tivat. Technically, Air Montenegro will have its inaugural flight to Sarajevo on June 1, however, however, this will be a special charter operated on behalf of the Montenegrin national football team which will partake in an international friendly against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
| Route | Launch date |
|---|---|
| Podgorica - Belgrade | 10.06.2021 |
| Tivat - Belgrade | 10.06.2021 |
Tickets for the new Belgrade flights are now on sale. Despite initial announcements that the carrier will operate on low cost model, it will offer passengers both economy and business class fares. Economy class passengers will have a generous 23 kilograms included in their ticket, as well as free date changes up to one day prior to departure. Business class passengers will be able to check in two pieces of luggage up to 23 kilograms each, as well as change travel dates at any time and be issued refunds. There is currently only a single fare type for business and economy class.
The airline will add more routes, as well as a second E195 jet, in the coming weeks. Air Montenegro’s aircraft will be painted in the airline’s corporate livery (pictured above) during the 2021/2022 winter season, which begins in October. As previously reported, the start-up carrier will initially operate its two jets in an all-white scheme. Air Montenegro’s CEO, Predrag Todorović, said Montenegro Airlines’ livery was “fantastic”, which is why the company has kept the eagle logo from its predecessor. The airline's branding will be rolled out in phases. It will first be visible on the carrier’s recently launched website, after which it will be applied onto its fleet.

BR, E.
You must be a cousin of the "Bravo Hrvatska" guy:))))
Sure, it isn't as polished as it should be or as one would expect, but hell, they are doing stuff when others are simply talking shit
Air Serbia sells to MNE only the tickets with luggage included.
Absolute lunacy.
Front of the plane - disaster
What were they thinking?
The E195 is the best aircraft they can chose because it practically covers the whole continent with their coverage and can even do TGD-DXB or TGD-SVX.
I wish them luck, but if they were a public company I would be shorting their stock.
The business model is much better than previous company. They focus on routes where they can make money year round. Summer season is the bonus. They will have good utilisation. They got a good deal on planes, which is a good start. They should outsource as much as possible and switch to digital sales completely.
Having said that, Air Serbia will likely dump the prices to make the life hard for the startup.
They rushed because if they missed the summer, the project would be done before taking off.
The point is should/could a new airline exist from 3-5 sovereign states in the Western Balkans ie.: SLO, CRO, BiH, SRB, MNE, and maybe NMK. Similar to what Sweden, Norway and Danmark have in SAS.
I'm sure this could never work in former Yugo. Just say'in.
That said, others are more than welcomed to cooperate but I don't see it happening.
In theory we can debate it here all we want. But ain't gonna happen.
