Situated just beside Tivat city, on the coast of the Adriatic sea, and about 20 km north-west of Budva city (one of the most popular tourist centers in this part of the Adriatic region), this airport has one of the most difficult and dangerous approaches in the world. No matter if approaching from the north-west via Boka Kotorska bay or from south-east across Budva city parallel with the coast, this airport requires high skilled pilots and maximum concentration for safe landing. Approach is difficult and dangerous due to a lot of high hills surrounding the airport, and also due to very often strong cross winds from the hills as well as from the sea. In summer time this airport is visited by many airlines, which organize charter flights for tourists. Due to bad terrain lighting around the airport, it is open only during day light in real life, but on VATSIM, you are free to fly to Tivat anytime.
