Podgorica Airport
Situated about 10 km south of Podgorica city (the capital of Montenegro), near the Golubovci village in the valley of Moraca and Zeta rivers, just on coast of Skadar lake and only 15 km from the border between Montengro and Albania, this airport gives very interesting experience for pilots as well as for all passengers aboard looking through the windows. Hills which surround airport from west, north and east limit approach, so it is available only from south via Skadar lake. Pilots have to make descending circle above the lake, and also to be careful to do not overshoot the country border. This airport is home base of “Montenegro Airlines”. Podgorica airport is used for military aviation too.
