TAL Aviation's Swiss team will be providing passenger services to its Swiss market.

The airline has enjoyed booming records over the past couple of years.  According to  Montenegro Airlines’ first quarter 2019 records, it is well on track on reaching its target of flying 660,000 passengers by the end of the year.

This has been made possible through its recent fleet development and expansion, the launching of new routes and increased capacity on existing services. 

Dragon Popović, Chief Commercial Officer of Montenegro Airlines comments "Montenegro Airlines has been present in the Swiss market more than two decades, operating with all year-round flights from Podgorica to Zurich and vice versa.  We are always seeking new passengers, particularly from the leisure sector, therefore I am very glad that we are going to have the support of TAL Aviation for the further development of this market".

Says Nissim Sagis, Chief Commercial Officer of the TAL Aviation Group "I am confident that with this initial deal sealed for our Swiss market, this is just the beginning.  Montenegro Airlines is a growing carrier, it has big goals and has proved its capabilities over the past couple of years. Together with our new partner I am looking forward to lighting up the skies of Montenegro to more European markets".

As part of its expansion program this season, Montenegro Airlines recently signed a wet-lease agreement with Blue Air to support destinations on B737-300 148-seater aircraft.  The carrier will be operating scheduled and charter flights to 30 destinations this season.
