15 years of the company - On the wings of the eagle


On October 23, at the Hotel Podgorica in Podgorica, Montenegro Airlines organized a press cocktail party in order to celebrate its 15th anniversary. It was attended by over 250 guests from the cultural, public and social life of Montenegro and the region as well as by representatives of 35 media companies from Montenegro and Macedonia.

Chairman of the company, Zoran Djurisic, Minister of Maritime Affairs and Transport, Andrija Lompar, and Minister of Tourism, Predrag Nenezic, addressed the guests in attendance.

 

 

The chairman of the company pointed out that countries all over the world are recognized by their flags, their national anthems, and their airline companies. Mr Djurisic stated that Montenegro had to establish its own airline company in order to be efficiently connected with Europe. For that reason, 15 years ago on October 23, Montenegro Airlines, the national airline company, was founded.

"Today, 15 years later, it is evident that this project has been a major success. Montenegro Airlines connects Montenegro with the ten most important European centers and provides an air bridge with Europe. I think that this fact proves how important Montenegro Airlines is to the Montenegrin economy", announced Mr Djurisic, and warmly thanked all employees in the company and all those without whose generous help the company would not be able to operate.

The Minister of Maritime Affairs and Transport, Andrija Lompar, stated that Montenegro Airlines has carried around 500.000 passengers per year, which is a significant number for Montenegro as a country with around 650.000 citizens, and he pointed out that there are few companies in the region who have been that successful. He added that, even in the future, Montenegro Airlines should remain the recognizable brand of Montenegro.

The Minister of Tourism, Predrag Nenezic stated that Montenegro Airlines has been an important partner in the promotion of Montenegrin tourism, and it is almost impossible to imagine the further development of tourism in Montenegro without the national airline company.

On this occasion, the documentary film "On the Wings of the Eagle", about the beginning and development of Montenegro Airlines, was shown and well received by the guests present.
