That's really wow and there is still the summer ahead. Congratulations Pristina and Kosovo!
ReplyDeleteAll of this growth whilst Kosovo citizens still need visas to travel to the Schengen region. After the visas are lifted, the passenger number will reach 3m per year. This year should see PRN reach 2m.
ReplyDeleteHow are kosovo people able to travel so much?
ReplyDeleteDiaspora
DeleteHalf of the population live outside of kosovo
DeleteAnd still no numbers for SKP! They are always the last..Cccc
ReplyDeleteSKP should be around 155k for march as usuall they only published the SKP+OHD data
DeleteSkopje+Ohrid, March 2018: 162.600 passengers.
DeleteSkopje rob so many travelers of Pristina due to low cost flights of Wizzair! lucky Skopje.
DeleteWhen Wizzair or any low cost airline open base or flights to/from PRN, Skopje will loose huge number of passengers from Kosovo diaspora.
DeleteJust wow! SJJ will then be forever the worst airport among EX-YU capitals (even among some other non-capitals)...I'm really ashamed to live in Bosnia.SJJ is worst airport and besides the taxes are the biggest.Fun fact:you need transit to reach London and Frankfurt...the only airport among Europe capitals to need so.
ReplyDeleteOh come on, stop being so negative about SJJ. I still think it is one of the most underserved by the airlines. I am sure it can achieve the TZL effect soon.
DeleteTransit visa for Germany?? Are you sure??
He didnt say transit visa but he said there r no direct flight to fra n london
Deletecongrats prn airport
ReplyDeletethis is a good result for a small country and visa restrictions for kosovo
bay the way on april 5 Edelweiss air flight WK405 was served with airbus a343-313 HB-JMG and i think this should say something.
best wishes
Congratulations Pristina Kosovo you're doing very well going forward!!
DeleteWhen EU allow visas in Kosovo, hopefully soon kosovars will be always on the sky ;)
I can say , we provide the best serivice especially on check In - just turned to Altea and we are doing absolutely great . Welcime to Prishtina
ReplyDeleteAccording to the forecasts, flights from Pristina to New York will soon begin on account of the large number of passengers flying from Kosovo towards the United States.
