3. Special Services and Ancillary Fees: Revenue is generated from special services including unaccompanied minor handling (€45-75), pet transport in cabin (PETC, €40-80) or cargo hold (AVIH, €70-120), and sports equipment transport (€35-100 depending on size).

Core offering

Air Montenegro operates scheduled commercial passenger air transportation between Montenegro (via Podgorica and Tivat airports) and 15 European destinations across 11 countries. The airline sells one-way, return, and multi-city tickets through its direct digital channels — an Internet Booking Engine (IBE) at booking.airmontenegro.com and a native iOS/Android mobile app — supplemented by a contact center and airport sales desks. Revenue is layered with ancillary paid services such as additional checked baggage, special assistance, pet transport, and group/charter bookings.

Product overview

Air Montenegro is the national airline of Montenegro operating scheduled commercial passenger flights to 15 European destinations across Bosnia and Herzegovina, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland, and Turkey. The core product offering consists of a direct-to-consumer booking platform accessible via the internet booking engine (IBE) at booking.airmontenegro.com and a native mobile application launched in August 2025, both enabling passengers to search schedules, purchase tickets, select seats, and check in for flights. Ancillary services are sold as add-on modules layered on top of the base fare, including checked baggage with excess/oversized options, cabin baggage, special assistance (unaccompanied minors, passengers with disabilities, medical passengers, pregnant travelers, pets), and group/charter bookings. The airline also offers targeted discount programs for students (up to age 26) and EYC cardholders, and provides supporting services for complaints, refunds, and passenger notifications. The booking platform integrates standard payment card processors (Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, Allsecure, Visa Secure, Mastercard ID Check) and offers customer support via WhatsApp and Viber messaging channels.

Direct peers

• Luxair: Small European national carrier operating scheduled regional flights from Luxembourg. Comparable on small-scale flag-carrier economics, niche European route network, and similar reliance on tourism and business traffic.
• Air Albania: Albanian national carrier with a similarly small scale and recent launch profile. Closely mirrors Air Montenegro's positioning as a small flag carrier in a small Balkan country competing with European LCCs.
• TAROM: Romanian national carrier operating scheduled European routes from Bucharest. Comparable to Air Montenegro as a state-linked national carrier serving a relatively small home market with European scheduled connectivity.
• Croatia Airlines: Croatian national carrier operating regional European scheduled flights with strong tourism-corridor exposure to the Adriatic. Highly comparable to Air Montenegro on network shape, fleet scale, and dependence on coastal tourism demand.
• Bulgaria Air: Bulgarian national carrier providing scheduled European connectivity from Sofia with a similar small-scale, single-hub operating model. Comparable on flag-carrier economics in a small Eastern European home market.
• Air Serbia: National carrier of neighboring Serbia, operating scheduled European routes from Belgrade with a similar scale and regional Balkans focus. Directly comparable on home-market dynamics, route structure, and competitive positioning against European LCCs.

Broad incumbents

• Aegean Airlines: Greek flag carrier operating a much larger scheduled European network from Athens. Comparable as a Southern European national airline competing on tourism-driven routes, but at a substantially larger scale.
• Ryanair: Europe's largest low-cost carrier and a direct competitor on several Air Montenegro trunk routes (Frankfurt, Paris, Rome, etc.). Relevant as the dominant scale competitor that Air Montenegro must price against on overlapping European routes.

Emerging players

• Widerøe: Norwegian regional carrier operating scheduled short-haul European routes with a small fleet. Comparable on small-fleet regional scheduled service and thin-route economics, though in a different geography.
• Pegasus Airlines: Turkish low-cost carrier that serves as Air Montenegro's codeshare partner and connects via Istanbul. Comparable on the Turkish market overlap and codeshare economics, though operating at significantly greater scale and as a low-cost model.
