Flying out of Montenegro this winter has become easier than ever: the country's airports have entered the season with a robust and expanded route network. Podgorica now connects with 17 destinations in 13 countries, and Tivat, remaining a summer-focused resort, maintains four scheduled flights during the winter.
Most winter flights from Podgorica are operated by AirMontenegro и Wizz Air, and the main Turkish carriers on the Montenegrin market remain Pegasus Airlines и Turkish Airlines.
Podgorica: Network expansion and El Al arrival from 2026
In winter, you can fly from Podgorica to major European hubs—Belgrade, Vienna, Warsaw, Zurich, London, and Rome—as well as to popular low-cost airline destinations—Budapest, Dortmund, Memmingen, and Milan.
Wizz Air has a significant presence, operating flights from its base in Podgorica to five cities at once: Budapest, Dortmund, Memmingen, Milan and London (Stansted).
Air Montenegro maintains connections with Belgrade, Ljubljana, Rome, and Zurich, and from January 2026, El Al Israel will be added to its network of destinations, launching a direct flight from Podgorica to Tel Aviv.
In the Turkish market, Pegasus Airlines connects Podgorica with Ankara, Izmir and Istanbul (Sabiha Gokcen Airport), while Turkish Airlines and Air Montenegro fly to Istanbul Main Airport (IST).
Tivat: Just four destinations you can fly to in winter
Tivat's winter schedule includes four routes: Belgrade, Istanbul, Tel Aviv and Yerevan.
Air Montenegro and Air Serbia operate flights to Belgrade, while Turkish Airlines and Air Montenegro connect Tivat with Istanbul.
Winter flights to Tel Aviv will be available until January 2026, operated by El Al Israel and Israir, while Yerevan-based Flyone will maintain seasonal service for part of the winter.

Air traffic growth and development strategy
The winter schedule confirms that Podgorica is gradually becoming an important regional air hub, especially after the opening of a Wizz Air base with two new A321 neo aircraft.
Maintaining winter routes, especially towards Central and Western Europe, promotes off-season tourism and improves the Montenegrin diaspora's connection with their country.
At the same time, Tivat is gradually positioning itself as a year-round destination, fueled by the growing number of foreign residents and increased passenger traffic from the Israeli market.
Key figures:
- 17 directions from Podgorica
- 13 countries with direct flights
- 4 destinations from Tivat
- Tel Aviv — new direction from January 2026
- Leaders by number of flights: Air Montenegro, Wizz Air, Pegasus Airlines
Winter is stable, 2026 is even more ambitious
The winter schedule demonstrates that Montenegro's airports are increasingly moving from a seasonal to a year-round air traffic model.
The arrival of Israeli carrier El Al in January 2026 and the expansion of Wizz Air confirm that Montenegro is becoming an increasingly attractive destination not only in summer but also in winter.
