Montenegro Airlines and Air Serbia have deployed their aircraft to bring home stranded passengers after both countries closed their airports for commercial traffic. Montenegro Airlines has operated rescue flights to Budapest, Vienna, Rome, London and Belgrade, with more services planned. The carrier will also repatriate Serbian nationals. On the other hand, Air Serbia operated a rescue flight to Amsterdam and Paris, with more to follow. The airline has deployed a second aircraft, an Airbus A320 to Shanghai to pick up medical supplies. Yesterday, its A330 was also dispatched to China to collect several tons of medical supplies and Chinese health professionals. The Montenegrin Prime Minister, Duško Marković, noted, “This is the best response to the question whether we need a national carrier”.
