| Wizz Air marks major milestone in Macedonia |
Budget airline Wizz Air yesterday carried its two-millionth passenger on flights to and from Macedonia since launching operations there four and a half years ago. The carrier, which dominates at Skopje Alexander the Great Airport, inaugurated flights from the city in June 2011 and has since constantly expanded its Macedonian network. In October 2012, Wizz Air established base operations in Skopje and now has three aircraft and 84 employees stationed in the capital. Last June, the airline started operations from its second Macedonian airport - Ohrid. Underlining its commitment to the country, Wizz Air recently announced three new routes from Skopje, connecting the city with three European capitals - Berlin, Copenhagen and Bratislava, which will launch on March 21, 22 and 27 respectively.
Wizz Air is now the leading airline in Macedonia, with a total country market share of 58%, offering 24 routes to eleven countries from its two Macedonian airports - Skopje and Ohrid. Last year, the carrier handled 734.931 travellers on its flights to and from Alexander the Great Airport, an increase of 31.9% compared to 2014, accounting for a passenger share of 50%. Furthermore, from Ohrid it carried am additional 60.000 travellers during its first year of operations. With three new routes from Skopje this summer, the airline has more than one million seats on sale for 2016, representing capacity growth of 22% on 2015.
Speaking at a press conference in Skopje yesterday, Gyorgy Abran, Wizz Air’s Chief Commercial Officer, said, “We are thrilled to celebrate this memorable milestone of two million Wizz passengers to and from Macedonia. We started our operations in 2011 in Macedonia and since then, we have earned the trust and loyalty of our Macedonian passengers, becoming the airline of choice in the country". He added, "With the establishment of our Skopje base and the continuous expansion of our low-fare network, we created a number of local jobs while stimulating tourism and the aviation industry. We now have three aircraft based in Skopje, each operated by Macedonian crews speaking the local language and providing excellent on-board service on every flight. We will keep on delivering low fares and services to best meet the needs of the Macedonian travelling public”.

Comments
The Romanian routes of W6 were announced just few days ago due to the "war" between W6 & FR. So, the examples aren't relevant. The case with Bourgas is diffent. Bourgas is a major lasure resort and they're offering only seasonal flights.

No, BEG-LCA is a year-round route, it operates every Sunday at 06.40. During the summer and the holidays they usually add a flight on Wednesdays.

Ја сам укупно летео два пута са Визером за Ларнаку. Они ми не одговарају зато што лете једном недељно, увек идем преко Атине а тек ћу сада ићи када крећу Емирати да лете. Тако да не, Ларнака и Кипар немају никакве везе са мојим коментаром.
I niko nikog ovde ne mora ispravljati ako se pogresno izrazi ako nema nekog razloga .

Izgleda se pravi cirkus ali to je zato sto A3 nece imati A330 pre ASL.
INN-NS
Не схватам какве везе има А3 или А330 са овом дискусијом. И сам знаш да су они компанија каква би Ер Србија требало да постане једног дана.
Елем, толико од мене. Поздрав!
Da trebalo bi ali nece posto ce doci samo A330 za sad .
Opet kazem moja greska sto imam drugo misljenje .

'A senior government official has signaled a change in Turkey’s long-standing visa policy that envisages the removal of visas with as many countries as possible in a bid to align with the EU’s policy, as part of ongoing talks over visa liberalization for Turkish citizens starting from late 2016.
The signal was given by Turkish EU Minister Volkan Bozkır in a meeting with a group of reporters in Brussels on Dec. 3, when he was asked whether Turkey would have to impose visas to countries whose citizens need to get visas for their travel to EU’s Schengen countries.'

Basically, most important secondary destinations are covered. UK flights are highly unlikely because Macedonians still need a visa (but many of them already have been granted Bulgarian citizenship so who knows)? Maybe new destinations such as MAD, MAN, BHX...?
B777s will do many Europe rotations in the coming months. GVA LHR FRA BCN HAJ ATH VCE PRG. Unfortunately no BEG. Any idea how we could get LX to operate it to BEG?
That said, Swiss seems to be doing quite well in Athens. Over the holidays they've been sending their A333 almost daily for a week. At time they add a second A321 on the night flight.
As for BEG, I fear that the airport itself is not that interesting for them as it's 'low profile' especially when compared to BCN, PRG or FRA.
Same goes to LH, MUC will be served twice daily with E95, they used to fly A320.
Wizz was reason to stop winter flights to Larnaca.Why ASL?

i jedan veoma bitan deo
Aviatica: Iako je politika kompanije da ne komentariše poslovanje drugih kompanija, moram da vas pitam za situaciju sa Air Serbijom i za njihovo zauzimanje hrvatskog tržišta. Kako to komenatišete?
Smatramo da je sporno to što Air Serbia prodaje karte prema petoj i šestoj (vazduhoplovnoj) slobodi što je zabranjeno prema pretpristupnom ugovoru koji je Srbija potpisala sa Evropskom unijom. Naš interes je samo da se prava poštuju isto kao što smo i mi poštovali kad smo bili u istoj poziciji kao što je i Air Serbia danas. Oni lete dva puta dnevno do Zagreba malim avionom i određeni odliv tržišta se naravno oseti, ali to nije ništa zabrinjavajuće niti to remeti naše planove i odnos snaga na ovom tržištu.
da li taj čovek zna šta priča? i on mi CEO
IR porucio 21 A320 Ceo,24 A320 Neo,27 A330,18 A330-900 Neo, 16 A351 i 12 A380.
Nadam se da ce im u budocnosti biti i BEG makar sezonska linija .

Do you want some more examples of his basic unknowledge in air business?

So sorry ASL's business model is bogus. Don't take it out on others.
