Turkish Airlines, the national flag carrier flying to more countries than any other airline and awarded “Best Airline in Europe” by Skytrax for the tenth time, has announced a new codeshare partnership with Air Montenegro, the national flag carrier of Montenegro. The agreement aims to enhance travel options between Türkiye and Montenegro.

Under the codeshare agreement, Turkish Airlines will place its flight code on Air Montenegro operated services between Istanbul-Tivat and Istanbul-Podgorica, offering improved connectivity via Istanbul, one of the world’s leading global transfer hubs.

In return, Air Montenegro will place its flight code not only on services between the two countries, but also on Turkish Airlines’ Dubai and Baku flights. The agreement aligns Air Montenegro’s regional presence in Balkans with Turkish Airlines’ extensive international network, creating new opportunities for both business and leisure travellers.

Commenting on the partnership, Turkish Airlines Chief Executive Officer, Bilal Ekşi, said: “In addition to being one of the key hubs of global aviation, Istanbul serves as a strategic bridge connecting Europe and Asia. Our cooperation with Air Montenegro will not only add new momentum to traffic between Türkiye and Montenegro, but also will generate synergy for tourism and trade.”

Air Montenegro Chief Executive Officer, Vukadin Stojanović, stated: “This codeshare partnership with Turkish Airlines represents an important step in strengthening Montenegro’s international connectivity. By combining our regional network with Turkish Airlines’ global reach, we are offering more destinations, greater flexibility, and a higher quality travel experience, while also supporting the development of cultural and economic ties between our two countries.”

The codeshare agreement is expected to boost passenger traffic and support the sustainable development of air traffic between Türkiye and Montenegro.
