Montenegro Airlines ceases all operations

On 25 December, the government of Montenegro announced it would discontinue funding Montenegro Airlines. The move means the airline has ceased all operations with immediate effect.

The airline, which had a fleet of three E195s and one Fokker 100, was already in financial difficulties before the Corona-pandemic. The government couldn't find a legal way to inject additional funds and therefore decided a closure of Montenegro Airlines was the best decision.

The government is now planning to establish a successor, which it hopes will be able to launch operations by the start of the summer season of next year. It's unknown what the name of that new airline will be and with what aircraft it will operate.
