Скачать или смотреть Beograd Srbija - Tivat Crna Gora

Tivat Airport is located in the Mrčevac settlement, on the southern outskirts of Tivat urban area, 7 km (4 mi) from the Kotor city center, and 20 km (12 mi) north-west of Budva. The passenger terminal is served by Adriatic Highway (E65/E80).

The airport is situated within Tivatsko polje (Tivat field), a valley surrounded by mountainous terrain, stretching in southeasterly direction from the city of Tivat. The airport's runway is aligned with the valley's orientation, with runway 14's threshold being just 100 m (328 ft) from the Bay of Kotor coastline.

Runway 32 approach requires a descent into Tivatsko polje, and a 20° turn for runway alignment just before landing. Due to this demanding approach procedure, Tivat Airport is known among pilots as the "Kai Tak of Europe". As of 2024, the runway 14 approach is no longer included in charts, as it included an even more challenging circle-to-land maneuver.

The airport is frequented by plane spotters, due to its easy access and unobstructed views of the runway, as well as the dramatic mountain backdrop.

Tivat Airport has a highly seasonal traffic pattern, with more than 80% of passenger traffic concentrated in the May-September period.
