This year was a record year for Montenegro's tourism. Over 1.2 million tourists were officially recorded, a growth of 26% on last year. As usual, the majority were tourists from Serbia (38%), and other ex-Yugoslav countries (23%) , followed by tourists from EU member states (21%) ... and the fastest growing group, tourists from Russia and other ex-Soviet states, who now account for 11% of all tourists to Montenegro:yes:


Here's how they came;)

Great photos and great airport for photo taking

Yep, you get to see the best of BOTH worlds...."Western" Airbuses and Boeing's and Russian Tupolev's, Ilyushin's, Yakovlev's and soon....Sukhoi's:yes:

i thought u were talking about real birds...or some russian girls or something at the airport man got me all excited over some pieces of metal


on a more serious note...congrats, send some of those tourists down south...not too far, just when tehy cross teh border they've done their job

For mother RUSSIA!!! :nuts::lol::lol:

What a treat! Let's see, you got Boeings 737, 757 and 767, Tu-154, Il-86, MD-82, ATR-75 and Yak-40. However, not a single Airbus.:( But still... what a treat.:cheers:

P.S.: I see Tivat is using an old Dacia 1310 as follow me car.:lol:

Fantastic place for plane lovers. A small airport, but so many types & companies that you can watch from a tiny distance :cheers:


I see the huge but underpowered Il-86 has problems taking off. A bit risky... How long is Tivat's runway?

In our case, the biggest number of russian tourists visiting Romania was registered in december `89 ! :nuts:

This sounds good for Montenegro, the number of tourist will only rise in the coming years.

Tnx for the pictures, I never saw so much different types of airplanes.

Oh man , while i was living in Varna between 1997 and 2003 in a neighbourhood close to the airport i was so mad at the russian planes that were violating my privacy while landing several times a day during the whole summer ... :nuts:

Woooow!!:uh: those are awesome pictures, thanks a lot!:)
And great to hear for Montenegro!

Crazyserb why do you always open a new thread????

Russian birds at Montenegro's Tivat airport: nothing special to me.

anytime u can put the words Russian and Montenegro together,,,,you bet crazy serb aka KM will open a thread about it.

Next year we will see even more tourists and even more flights from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, etc so you can look forward to many, many more threads:yes:

great photos!! and great places for taking photos!!

what will be this year's traffic at the airport?

very interesting photos, thnx CS

Last years traffic at Tivat was 451.000 passengers ... this year, we expect a minimum of 600.000, but hopefully close to 700k.
With Podgorica's airport (~350.000 passengers last year), Montenegro's two airports will for the first time handle more than 1 million passengers this year:yes:

That number will hit two million by 2010!

Rumours say that plans for a new terminal for Tivat will be announced soon - its expected to cost between 200-300 million euros and will boost capacity of the airport to five million passengers annualy.

Man that looks dangerous...I think they'd better build a longer runway than a new terminal...

Really nice photos. All the beautiful and wonderfully noisy IL86s are not allwed in Bulgaria anymore:ohno: cos of some stupid law. That must be an amazing place to plane spot.

You're right, its definately an amazing place...and NOT just to plane spot;)
