“Feedback from customers and independent travel agents in the North West has been telling us that flights and holidays to Montenegro are very much in demand for Summer 23, and we know that Montenegro is a destination that customers want to get to. Since putting services on sale to this destination from Manchester Airport, local customers and independent travel agents have been booking getaways to Montenegro in their numbers.”
“As the UK’s largest tour operator, we are giving customers and independent travel agents in the region unrivalled choice when it comes to enjoying a holiday this summer.”
Adding to Heapy’s comments, Vladan Draskovic, Chief Executive Officer of Airports of Montenegro, adds, “We at Airports of Montenegro are delighted to welcome one of the leading leisure airlines to Tivat Airport.”
“At the mention, Jet2.com evokes the spirit of holiday, adventure and discovery. This summer is the right time for the UK travellers to revisit and rediscover once-well-loved spots in Montenegro. With the first spectacular views of Tivat Airport from the sky and warm welcome of our staff on the ground, every traveller will know this is the place to be.”
