Tivat Airport (Montenegrin: Аеродром Тиват, Aerodrom Tivat) (IATA: TIV, ICAO: LYTV) is an international airport located 4 km (2.5 mi) from the centre of Tivat, Montenegro. As Montenegro's two main airports are merely 80 km apart, there are no regular passenger domestic flights. Domestic flights have been reduced to charter flights and general aviation, and all scheduled traffic is international. A total of 647,169 passengers passed through Tivat Airport in 2011.[2]
Tivat Airport is assigned 4D classification by ICAO,[3] as it is one of the most difficult international airports to land at due to its location in the extremely variable terrain of the Bay of Kotor.[4]

[edit] Overview
The airport in Tivat was built in 1971 with a 2,500-meter asphalt runway and a capacity to park up to seven aircraft at a time.[5] The sole passenger terminal was extensively renovated in 2006.[6] In October 2007, South Korea made a government-donation valued at $1 million for new airport equipment ranging from cargo-loaders to flight tracking computers.[7][8] Further reforms came in 2008 when several old types of passenger aircraft such as the Ilyushin Il-86 were permanently banned from flying to Tivat and subsequently redirected to Podgorica Airport due to noise abatement.[9]
