Skopje Alexander the Great Airport renamed

NEWS FLASH


Skopje's Alexander the Great Airport will simply be known as Skopje International Airport, the Macedonian government has decided in a bid to end its dispute with Greece. The airport will be officially renamed in the coming days once the decision is published in the Government Gazette. The former Macedonian government renamed Skopje's airport after Alexander the Great in 2007, renewing a diplomatic spat with Greece at the time. Kavala Airport, in north-eastern Greece has been carrying the same name since 1992. Last year, Greece's Aegean Airlines announced it would resume services between Athens and Skopje in 2018 after more than a decade but told EX-YU Aviation News that it has conditioned its return to Macedonia on the "resolution of certain contentious issues". Tickets for the new service are now expected to go on sale in the coming days.

    Congratulations to Aegean and Greece. This is an important move that will benefit both sides.

    SKP is in a deseperate need of a new airline that will offer connections to the east.

      Who flies to Lebanon or Egypt from SKP via DOH or DXB?

      It's nice to see sanity return to Balkan politics.

      Yeah but look at the connecting times. JU has timed their times to connect passengers to New York and Western Europe.
