Montenegro Airlines (Podgorica) is set to withdraw a second Fokker 100, 4O-AOT (cn 11350), from revenue service on March 1, its second such move in less than 4 months. With 4O-AOK (cn 11272) having been grounded in December 2013, the move effectively leaves the Montenegrin carrier with just two operational Fokker 100s, 4O-AOP (cn 11321) and 4O-AOM (cn 11332), and three E195s ahead of its busy Summer season.
According to EX-YU Aviation News, the airline's management has already proffered the grounded aircraft to prospective buyers.
In addition to its existing fleet, the Montenegrin carrier has an E190 on order. The twinjet's delivery, which was originally planned for April, has now been indefinitely delayed.
Podgorica announced plans to privatize the airline earlier this month.
