| Wizz Air completes summer line up of new routes from Skopje |
Wizz Air will introduce flights from Skopje to Friedrichshafen in southern Germany, completing its line-up of new routes from Macedonia’s capital this summer, the Ministry for Transport has confirmed. Previously, it was announced that the no frills airline will launch new flights from Skopje to Sandefjord, Barcelona, Nuremberg and Lubeck (near Hamburg). In addition, Wizz Ar will inaugurate year-long services from Ohrid to Basel. Friedrichshafen is a small university town located on the German border with both Austria and Switzerland. The Ministry says the new flights will commence this June and will operate twice per week. Tickets will go on sale next month. The latest additions to the airline’s network come after it won an international tender to introduce new state-subsidised flights from Macedonia this year.
Wizz Air will operate flights from the Macedonian capital to a total of nineteen destinations this summer, seven of which are in Germany. Its passenger numbers at Skopje Airport soared in 2014 after basing a second aircraft in the city and introducing four new routes. The low cost carrier is estimated to have handled over half a million passengers on its flights to and from Macedonia in 2014. Wizz Air carried 15.8 million travellers across its network last year, an increase of 17% compared to 2013. The airline serves 106 destinations in 37 countries and a total of 355 routes. Its fleet consists of 54 Airbus A320 aircraft, with Skopje being one of its eighteen bases across ten countries.
Commenting on its growth, Wizz Air’s CEO, Jozsef Varadi, recently said, “2014 was another great year for Wizz Air marked by a network of more countries and destinations on more routes than ever before. We are set for further growth on the back of our continuing fleet and network expansion in 2015 to bring more low fares to more travellers in Central and Eastern Europe”. He added, “We are proud of contributing to the economic development of our markets and creating new direct and indirect job opportunities resulting from our growth”. Macedonia’s two international airports, Skopje and Ohrid, handled a combined total of 1.278.343 passengers in 2014, an increase of 20% compared to the year before.

Wizz Air took Skopje airport opened destinations to every where, so National Airline of Macedonia will be hard to begin.
Wizz Air je suprotno ukupnom porastu broja putnika u Srbiji imao pad od oko 10 posto.
U periodu od januara do novembra prevezena 401 hiljada putnika u odnosu na 443 hiljade u 2013. Razlog za smanjenje broja putnika je u smanjenom broju letova i povlačenju jednog aviona iz beogradske baze.
How is this possible? Almost 50% reduce in frequencies but only 10% less pax.
Am I overlooking any important factor?

They are in "One world".
AF-KLM grupoa saradjuje sa EY i sa ASL .

Bolje da su dali subvencije da dolaze full service carrier.

but haters gonna hate anyway
Jedino je BCN Glavni Aerodrom.
GSE se zatvara.
U CGN mozete dalje da se konekujete na FX pa da nastavite dalje let sa 777F.
DTM i CGN su blizu DUS-a koji je 3 po velicini Aerodroma u Nemackoj.

Mod, will this be in the news?
Thanks!
It tells us Wizz has to expand even without subventions. Airports can use that to negotiate better deals from Wizz.
Wizz has more airplanes on order than in fleet so they have no other choice but to grow, no need for airports to offer big subventions. Situation in Ukraine, two failed IPOs, failure of other airlines to buy Wizz, leaseback of new planes all point to Wizz not having real leverage except at desperate airports like Nis. They have no choice but to push for expansion at many more small/medium Eastern/Central Europe airports.
This comment is the exact opposite of what's actually happening.
If you were involved at all in the business end of the aviation industry you'd know there's oversupply of airports to choose from. In addition, current fuel prices are stimulating growth, so successful companies are actually looking to place more aircraft in the following couple of years.
SKP will come close to 1.5 million and SPU will finally pass the 2 million mark, thus coming one step closer to being the busiest airport in the country!
Idemo!

Say, if civil war suddenly erupts in Saudi Arabia and prices go back Wizz is not going to pull out of SKP or many other airports.
Keep in mind that Bill Franke is getting older and not likely to wait another 10 years to get his investment back.

Wikipedia page List of the largest airports in the former Yugoslavia has been deleted by Josip Rodin from Croatia and replaced by (redirected to) Balkans list. Not only is Balkans list full of errors (missing Bulgaria etc) but instead of having separate Balkans and EX YU lists he just deleted the one he hated.
Fans of this site and EX YU aviation, please reach out to Wikipedia users you know to (re)create list of EX YU airports!
Can't it be retrieved?
