Podgorica, the lively and tourist-friendly capital of Montenegro, welcomes visitors year-round. Montenegro fascinates excursionists with pastoral landscapes on its beautiful mountains, blue-green Dalmatian coasts, and lively culture. Podgorica, the largest city and the capital, becomes the first contact hub for international travelers via its modern airport. This city is located in the western part of the Balkans, with a tight connection to Central Europe and Turkey; it is easily accessible at affordable prices. Pegasus Airlines pioneers cheap Podgorica flight tickets via its comfortable and safe plane fleet. Direct and connecting flights from Istanbul land at Podgorica International Airport in Montenegro. You can fly to Podgorica directly from Sabiha Gökçen International Airport.

Podgorica International Airport (TGD), pronounced as "Aerodrom Podgoritsa" in the official language, stands 11 km south of the city center. It is the largest air hub in Montenegro. Both international and domestic air routes are operated from this airport. The hub is also called Golubovci Airport, referring to the town where it is located. The air hub has performed its operations since 1961. The new terminal building serves the needs of arriving and departing passengers with modern facilities and free wifi.

Airport transfer is only available by bus, taxi, and car. There is no stable public transport to the airport except the L-20 bus line. Drivers use the Podgorica-Bar expressway (E65-E80) to reach the capital and Bar port. Podgorica takes a15 minute-drive from the airport. If you take a taxi, we recommend you bargain for a good price.
