“A few months ago we were delighted to announce that we would be adding a new country to our network exclusively available for passengers travelling from Manchester Airport.
“We expected that this new route would not take long to become a firm favourite as an easy and affordable summer destination for our customers and it has proved to be so successful that we believe there is a real demand for this flight from London Gatwick to Tivat.
“With its Mediterranean climate and a vibrant coastline littered with beaches, Montenegro is a truly up and coming destination which will provide more than a match for the long-established med resorts.”
Jennifer Newman, Airline Business Manager, at Gatwick Airport said:
