Ryanair cuts hit Podgorica Airport performance

NEWS FLASH


Podgorica Airport registered fewer passengers year-on-year for a second consecutive month in August, when it handled 235.567 travellers, down 1.2%. Ryanair, which reduced its operations from the Montenegrin capital by 20.8% last month has made the biggest impact on the airport’s performance. It offered 8.150 fewer seats on the market compared to August 2024. Unlike last summer, the airline no longer maintains services to Manchester and Zagreb and has reduced frequencies on flights to Berlin. Air Astana also operated fewer flights to Podgorica.

During the January - August period, Podgorica Airport handled 1.217.097 passengers, an increase of 0.03%, or an additional 334 travellers.

    Thank you for giving context! Read the passenger numbers somewhere else but without any explanation as to why or what was causing the decrease.

    TGD must be the only airport in Europe where Air Astana makes the top 10 in size by capacity :D

    Why doesn't TDG make an extra effort to have a direct line to ZAG again. According to last year's data, that line was very busy, it doesn't even have to be FR but 4O or OU?

      Because it won't be busy if it isn't Ryanair.

      If its busy enough for LJU, should be for ZAG as well. OU has a perfect aircraft for this route.

    As someone who lives in Montenegro, this sounds great to me, we are fed up with mass tourism. We are overwhelmed with tourism.

    Well more and more people are flying from Tirana, even to routes which are already served from TGD, like Rome. Also to Bari, Germany, other cities in Italy and especially Barcelona.
