Ohrid Airport sees growth

Thursday, October 15, 2015


Ohrid St. Paul the Apostle Airport has recorded strong passenger growth so far this year. In September alone it handled 16.052 travellers, an increase of 72.3% compared to the same month in 2014. Overall this year, Ohrid Airport registered 91.453 passengers, up over 40%. Growth was fuelled by Wizz Air, which this year launched seasonal flights from London Luton and year-long services from Basel. Besides Wizz Air, Ohrid is also served by Helvetic Airways from Zurich on a year-long basis and TUI Belgium from Brussels via Skopje during the summer months. This year, Corendon Airlines and Air Berlin operated charters to the lake-side city from Amsterdam and Vienna respectively. In 2016, Arkia Israel Airlines will launch two weekly charter flights from Tel Aviv starting June 1.
