Tivat Airport (Montenegrin Аеродром Тиват, ''Aerodrom Tivat'') is an international airport serving the Montenegrin coastal town of Tivat and the surrounding region. The airport is situated south of the centre of Tivat, with the runway aligned with the ''Tivat Field'' (Montenegrin: ''Tivatsko polje''). It is the busiest one of two international airports in Montenegro, the other being Podgorica Airport. Traffic at the airport follows the highly seasonal nature of the tourism industry in coastal Montenegro, with 80% of the total volume of passengers being handled during the peak season (June-August). It has been one of the fastest growing airports in the region, with 19,7% increase in the passenger traffic in 2013. 2014 was the busiest year ever for Tivat Airport. During 2014, Tivat Airport handled 910,566 passengers, an increase of 4.95% compared to 2013. Also, Tivat Airport saw its busiest month in history when it handled 211,204 passengers in August 2014. Tivat airport handles 4820 aircrafts and 819,156 passengers in first nine months of 2015. == Overview == Tivat airport is located right next to the city of Tivat, from the center of Kotor, and north-west of Budva, one of the most popular tourist destinations on the eastern Adriatic coast. The sole runway of the airport ends just from the coastline of the Bay of Kotor. Tivat Airport is assigned 4D classification by ICAO,〔(Montenegro Airports )〕 airspace class D, and is noted for its challenging approach and landing procedures. Approach and landing procedures are demanding because of the hilly terrain and strong crosswinds. Runway 32 approach implies descent into the valley of ''Tivatsko polje'',〔(Tivatsko polje map )〕 and a 20° turn for runway alignment just before landing. Runway 14 approach is even more challenging, because of the ''circle to land'' maneuver executed in the dramatic scenery surrounding the ''Bay of Kotor''. It is known among pilots as the European KaiTak because of its tricky approach and landing procedures. Passengers are awarded spectacular views of the bay, the surrounding mountains and a low flyby over Porto Montenegro luxury yacht marina. Year-round services from the airport include Belgrade and Moscow, however, more than 80% of the traffic is concentrated in the summer period, with the introduction of seasonal and charter flights. With the opening of ''Porto Montenegro'' and introduction of other high end tourist services, the airport increasingly caters to business jets. Adriatic Highway (E65/E80) passes right by the passenger terminal, making the airport easily accessible from the entire northern part of Montenegrin coast. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tivat Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
