The airline saw a 5% passenger increase, but more importantly saw an increase in passengers bound for Montenegro.

A total of 8.333 were Montenegro bound passengers (+63%), 58.994 on Euro-Mediterranean services (+1%) and 1.006 on charter flights (-24%). The average cabin load factor decreased by 1% and now stands at 53%.
