Tivat Airport - Kai Tak of Europe

Had a chance to fly to Tivat, Montenegro. On Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, and Air Baltic. The airport is called the Kai Tai of Europe given the tight maneuvering needed to land there.

It is not a big airport. Outside there's just one cafeteria and bathrooms, and a few rental car kiosks. With just a couple of lights leaving, when I entered the secure zone there wasn't any seats to sit on left, not a single place to sit on the floor, and barely room to stand. No wonder the security checkpoint refused to allow me in too early before the flights :-) 

The official web page of the airport is here.

The fire trucks seemed a bit dated. Or maybe they've just been sitting in the sun, there was no storage house for them:

Upon leaving, there was a bit of a crowd:
