NEWS FLASH
Air Montenegro and Turkish Airlines will shortly formalise a codeshare partnership. The development will enable both carriers to sell seats on each other’s flights, broaden connectivity and offer passengers smoother travel options with coordinated schedules and through-ticketing across a wider network. Speaking at the Bridging Destinations: Montenegro 2025 panel this week, Radislav Milošević from Air Montenegro noted, “We also have sound cooperation with other regional carriers, and we are planning on concluding certain agreements with them as well, which will improve our country’s connectivity”. Mr Milošević noted that the airline plans to launch new destinations next summer, as well as increase frequencies on flights to Belgrade.
Finally. Wizz Air had to announce a base opening so that Air Montenegro starts to think about survival. They need codeshare with JU, Ita, Air France and Swiss as well and more direct routes cause Wizz being present in TGD means more and more pax will have the option to travel directly to their destination for much cheaper price rather then having a connection somewhere. Even now many people use TIA even on routes which are already established from TGD.
ReplyDeleteWhy would JU want to codeshare with Air Montenegro? It goes directly against their interests.
Delete^ How exactly? It works directly in their interest. They would get another source of feeding passengers onto their network. No one from BEG is going to use Air Montenegro to transfer via Podgorica to anywhere,
DeleteIncreasing flights to Belgrade sounds promising.
ReplyDeleteThere was a time when Montenegro Airlines lead in pax numbers before JU.
^ i meant pax numbers on routes between Montenegro and Serbia.
DeleteI don't think that is going to happen again... JU is big enough not to allow it to happen once again.
DeleteHow about the visa situation?
ReplyDeleteWith 9.000 Turks left from Montenegro in last 30 days, freshly introduced visas for Turkish citizens, and riots against Turks in MNE just over a mount ago, the timing for code share with TK couldn't have been any better. ahaha
ReplyDeleteDo you need a visa, if you just transfer at IST and don't leave the transit area?
DeleteMontenegrins don't need a visa to either enter Turkey or to transfer through it. What the original poster is talking about is Turkish citizens needing a visa to enter Montenegro.
DeleteDefinitely too late for this
DeleteWhat is TK's benefit in all this? Which MNE routes are they going to codeshare on ?
ReplyDeleteI guess the main goal is to generate more Russia-Montenegro traffic via IST.
DeleteI think they will eventually leave the route mostly to Air Montenegro, considering the political situation etc.
DeleteNow if only Wizz Air could somehow enter code-sharing ...
ReplyDeleteWill they finally start selling connecting flights via TGD?
