The Government of Montenegro has officially included six international air routes from Podgorica in a Public Service Obligation (PSO) initiative, ensuring their operation from June 1, 2026, to May 31, 2030. This decision, made during a government meeting in late February 2026, emphasizes the importance of these routes for maintaining consistent air connectivity, particularly in scenarios where commercial airlines may not be able to sustain regular services independently.
The designated international routes are Podgorica to Brussels, Frankfurt, Paris Charles de Gaulle, Amsterdam, Zagreb, and Bari. The regulatory framework outlines the specific airports for each of these destinations, thereby formalizing the government’s commitment to supporting these vital connections over the next four years. The implementation of this initiative is scheduled to commence prior to the summer 2026 travel season, with the relevant ministry tasked with initiating the necessary administrative processes to facilitate this expansion.
