Car Hire at Podgorica Airport (TGD)
Although many visitors still choose to fly into neighbouring Croatia's Dubrovnik Airport, each year more flights are opening up to Montenegro's own airports. Podgorica Airport serves as Montenegro's largest public airport and hub for national carriers.
A new terminal opened in May 2006, while the old terminal now functions as a museum documenting Montenegro's aviation history. The airport code TGD is a historical reference to the city's former name, Titograd.
