There is room for one more route on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays next summer. Wonder if it will be Stuttgart or smth else.

If they launch Stuttgart, who will fly to Karlsruhe?

Ljubljana going back to 2x weekly in the summer :/

It will be Stuttgart

Lol, so much for the crazy demand that was claimed here

Wizz will launch many more new routes from SKP in 2024

It has to be Stuttgart. If they don't launch it they have to give the money back to the government.

I guess that's why they will reduce it

three times a week is still so much.

The route cant go back to twice a week, their summer schedule is not done yet. Also, this season the flights are operated with A320 which is 540 seats per week one-way, if the route is twice a week next summer it will be A321 and 460 seats. Not a big difference, although the flights will be three weekly.

How come?

Who said it will be A321?

Wizz Air has A321s during the summer at Skopje.

Wish they were launching this from PRN.

Also, “ so much for the crazy demand that was claimed here” - Go and check the LF on the flights. Always full and always expensive.

Thats true

Btw did they have limit until when they need to launch the routes ?

So what, who knows what they will use in SKP next summer, they might still leave 1 or 2 A320s, is it set in stone it will be excusively A321?

Where can I check the LF?

They will probably restore Barcelona and some other destinations.

Probably 😂

Ljubljana is strong route and will continue without any problems in future. SKP next year expect boom with all its destinations.

You will see , its to early for laughing ;) you all laugh for alot things related to SKP , but in the end ...

Lol

In the end what

Big boom

You can now fly from almost every cardinal point from Munich within a range of ~150km to Skopje except from Munich itself.

Hopefully Eurowings will one day launch flights out of MUC to SKP or Lufthansa sends a CRJ900 2-3 times per week.

You can see it both postive or negative. But a year ago there weren't flights to LJU and now there are. So overall very postive progress. Eindhoven and Colonge will be increased with 3 frequencies to daily. Paris Beauvais from 2 to 3. Malta also an extra frequency. Dordmund from 7 to 9. Due to change airport to Rome Ciampino from March Rome will be decreased with 1. Berlin will go from 5 to 7 frequncies so might not be a big boom but defenitly growth.

PVV won the elections in the Netherlands. The climate Ideology that stops Schiphol(AMS) from growing will stop. We might see AMS flifghts to SKP, SJJ and TGD next year.

They do not like Northern Macedonians too.

What was stopping AMS flights until now?

Wow!

13:26 Can you read?

@12.30 they have received zero for Stuttgart to give something back. No flights = no pax = no 7€ per pax

@12.47 i think there was no time limit

forget Eurowings, MUC can only function as a mixed O&D/transfer destination with LH

Bucharest - Salzburg too

@13.23 lol as much as Meloni has changed Italy (thank god). Dream on

12:47 thank you

Wish to see Munich from SKP with Euro wings.

Chisinau- Rome-Fiumicino, Milan-Malpensa, London-Luton
Abu Dhabi- Turkistan( KZ)

@13.39
Stuttgart was part of the agreement signed for subsidies. So they have to launch it.

Nein

Eurowings destinations from München: Cologne/Bonn, Dortmund, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Palma de Mallorca, Pristina. PRN is there because it is more or less chartered (despite selling tickets online for an astronomic price)

You can check the LF when purchsing a ticket to or from LJU, at the step where u choose your seat for the flight. I do that a fee hours before the flight and something its even sold out so no option to buy a ticket. Also for the guy who said LOL, we are talking about facts here not imaginations. The boom is even this year as the airport has 30% increase compared to pre-pandemic levels while some airports like LJU are still giving statements about the recovery of the traffic which is funny.

They are jelous leave them alone.

It will come but maybe after 10 years when the route to FRA is doing at its best. My opinion!

@13:26 There is no word such as Northern Macedonians. Just the name of country has changed.

They announced flights to Skopje in the past but the flights never happend.

13:27 We need to be realistic; SKP, SJJ, and TGD are not the most attractive destinations for KLM and Transavia. But they can definitely work. However, if you are only allowed to start a few destinations per year, of course, KLM and Transavia are going to look to other options so they can increase frequencies on well-performing flights or start new destinations that have better traffic than these ex-Yugoslavian cities. I think this applies to every business; if you are not allowed to do unlimited business, you are going to wait for customers with big cash instead of customers with less cash.

If the Dutch government stops with these rules, it will also be interesting for KLM or Transavia to start routes that generate smaller profits. And I think that SKP, SJJ, and TGD could benefit from this.

if Eindhoven is going daily that is enough prove that there is demand for the Netherlands.

some stil have no clue that noise problem for the locals is the main issue with Schiphol and not "climate ideology"

Crazy records! Bravo SKP 🤣

Ok, I thought there were some official statistics or something, with all this demand I wonder why they're not deploying A321 on this route, what a shame. Also if LJU's only competitor was PRN like SKP I highly doubt they would be at the state they are at now, there's no comparison.

Official statistics are published only for September, so only inaugural flight. According to statistics LF was 97%.

Why not Vienna Skopje?

STR will be succesfull and they will probably stop Karlsruhe flights. Many albanians are to be expected on these flights with the highway to Kosovo and the expensive flights to Pristina

because there is Bratislava

@15.51 haha the sound of envy right

SKP needs direct flights to Heathrow, Gatwick, CDG, Orly and Fiumicino, in addition to better service with BER. Also it is time for someone to investigate direct flight Skopje to Toronto , and later JFK.

What is there to investigate

Of course I am envious. How can I not be?

@16.02 hah the myth of LJU having too many competitors and the myth that PRN is a competitor with SKP.

LJU is where it is because of the slovenian market and not because of neighbouring airports. Speaking of SKP there are are stronger airports in the neighbourhood like SKG or SOF compared to everthing you can find around LJU which actually has only VCE

the fact that you keep hanging on at a SKP related article says it all. Relax

Almost all of the destinations from SKP are succesfully so I dont know why you always speak sh*t about this airport ?

One day we will see amsterdam-skopje flights thats for sure ;))

But you are forgeting something. SKP is not still in recovery, its having new records. We will talk when LJU reaches some reasonable results. Official statistics? So what i am lying to you? Go and check like i told and you will see, belive it or dont believe it, there is demand for the route. Nonsense

To be honest, only Kyiv wasnt succseful. All others were discontinued during the pandemic. But SKP is still having records dispite airports like LJU which were also hit are now struggling and ZAG which has very little increase in pax numbers. You can say what you want, i am talking facts here not my irony thoughts full of complexs.

No thank you

Next time before commenting smth, check the informations. Skopje has daily flights to Berlin as of December and five times per week to Fiumicino.

DOG and DXB were not successful either.

And Vienna is covered by Austrian from Skopje

@18:07 If you think I'm envious for SKP then imagine how you are feeling about PRN :D

@18:49 Even with the little increase ZAG is still way ahead of SKP. These are the facts.

@18:04 Yes, everything is myth as long as it doesn't suit you. We know how easily reachable SKG and SOF are with North Macedonian roads and borders compared to how VCE, TSF, TRS, ZAG are for LJU. And imagine if SKP was as close to Germany and Switzerland like LJU is would all your gastos fly as much as they do to SKP, no chance. Comparing LJU is SKP is beyond illogical, but I know it makes you feel more secure about your gasto central airport so you need to make up all kinds of examples.

im surprised they are launching it after reports in austrian media that they lost interest in Austrias regional airports "bestätigt ein Wizz Air Sprecher: «Wir haben aktuell keine Pläne nach Salzburg zurückzukehren und ziehen auch keinen anderen österreichischen Regionalflughafen für die Aufnahme von Flügen in Betracht»."

Great news!

It's good to hear that there are more routes from the airport in Skopje, but an airport that is not reachable by public transport is a WORTHLESS airport. The bus from the bus station to the airport goes only a few times per day. Us from cities other than than Skopje can't reach it. We have to find private transport from Facebook groups. TAV should increase the amount of buses to the airport. I haven't heard of an airport that is unreachable by public transport. Unthinkable!

There is literally a train from Ljubljana to Treise. We dont even have highway to Ohrid. Sofia is 5 hours by car from Skopje and Solun is 4 hours.

It is ahead, but the day when SKP overtake it if ZAG continue like this will come sooner then you think.

What the hell are yon on? Where can you find an airport which is reachable from every freking selo and provincija? You have buses from every city to Skopje and from there on you can find manora to the airport. What do you want? Rule turs or JSP to take you from your home? Just name me an airport which is connected with every other city in the country. I havent been to one yet!

Eurowings actually scheduled once flights MUC - SKP couple of years ago but shelved the plans. So hopefully they will reconsider their decision.

Also, you can transfer from Eurowings flights to LH flights as far as I know.

Let's see how Frankfurt will work out. Still high hopes.

I really think they should as it's long overdue

Well they are getting paid for it

I'll wait

That's precisely what I was talking about.

lol sure if you think that 7 euros is doing the trick. If it was like that Skopje would have every route they wanted. The stuff you read here, gosh

Eurowings is only an option from DUS

Trieste the big airport ^^

why do you even care about SKP then if its gasto central airport. Bizzare

and what is then PRN lol

@22.05 havent seen you post the same nonsence for LJU routes

Both are gasto central lol

@22:22 And who said it's a bad thing that they're getting money from it? Love how you were triggered immediately 🤣 it says everything

@22:33 What are you smoking dude?

Well your comment certainly shows that you would not use the bus, since you are obviously privileged enough and you think that you can offend people that live in other cities :). What I want is regular PUBLIC transport to the airport. Not with Rule, Mule or other private companies. I can take a bus to Skopje, but there is a bus to the airport 4-5 times per day, which is funny. The airport is not reachable to people from other cities. If you have gone to so many airports, you would be the first person to say that public transport is important. Not only did you not say this, but you said what you said. There is no transport from the airport to the bus station in Skopje. I suppose that is acceptable to you, but is it like that in foreign airports?

Also, in reply to "you can find manora to the airport", the taxis ask for 3000 (50€) denari to the airport. And that's the only option.

because "they are geting paid for it" sounds very positive. It appears only under SKP articles by you. wondering why. Give us a break!

Hanging around an article about an airport you are not connected is so sad.

od koe selo si pa ti? Fiksna cena do aerodrom e 20-25 eur vo zavisnost od koja naselba trgnuvas.

the airport bus stops at the bus station. so much for you knowing something

Yeah thats why SKP has FCO, MXP, VCE, BLQ, FRA, ZRH, VIE, CGN, HAM, BER, CPH, GOT, WAW, VIE, ATH and winter flights to Antalya and Izmir. Lots of workers are going every day everywhere, we dont travel, no no no. For the rest of the routes, yes they are small airports but at least people have direct flight, they dont have to go to one of the 10 main hubs of Europe in order to catch another flight. BEG also has lots of routes to Germany but no one is talking about that. If thinking that SKP is a gastro airport makes your day, congrats!

Yeah its one same guy who always says the same for Skopje. I believe people here are feeling jelous or smth cause Skopje is having records in everything not just the pax numbers. Skopje and Belgrade have the highest records this year as well as Air Serbia, bravo for them. Zagreb is stagneiting, while poooooorrrrr LJU is still in the recovery process aawww so pathetic in 2023, but dont worry the market will reach the records in 2019 in 2025 with some prayers to god. IDK why everyone here are so trigged when something good is spreading around for SKP. They always use the same two reasons: the gastro routes ( even though there are many main airports in the network ) and that we pay for evrything thats why we have it. But hear me out: even if these two nonsense reasons are true, that does not change the fact that skp is having record pax numbers. Dont ask me on what i am, i am totally okay but it wont harm you if you keep your nonsense to yourself sometimes.

@22:55 He havent been in Skopje thats why he doesnt know. For your information @22:44 There is a bus from Holiday Inn which pass trough Zheleznichka ( oh sorry bus station ) as well as Biser in Aerodrom. That bus passes more then 4-5 times per day, to be more precisse, it passes 8 times per day, almost every three hours. The company which runs the bus is in cooperation with Wizz, Pegasus and Turkish so you have a bus for your W6 flight ( i assume you fly Wizz since 60% of the market is theirs ). Even if you dont fly Wizz, the bus schedule is perfect for every flight, it wont kill you if arrrive at the airport earlier then you should. Also, i have used the bus many times, so you are wrong. In your comment you were talking about direct transport from other cities to the airport. The airport is very much reacheble from Skopje. If you were talking about public transport in other countries then yes, there is public bus in Nis, there is marconi express in Bologna as well as public buses, there are buses in Venice and Treviso, there are buses in Malmo and trains in Copenhagen, public bus in Bari, Malta and so on. But remember that Skopje Airport is not located in the city but 30min highway drive, which is not the case in the airports i named above. In Bologna, you can reach the center by 45min walk, in Skopje that is not possible. So dont expect JSP to drive on the highway so that you can have better transport. Oh and please, i am sorry if you find provinija offensive, but its okay as most people does. The real problem is that our nation is always complaining about everything, but never tries to change something. Just complain, complain, complain…No effect dear. Good night

Pred inflacijata beshe 800 denari ako si narachash taksi po telefon, sega se okolu 1000-1200. 50 evra e za ohrid so onie sho stojat beline pred terminal shto kje te ispokradat.

A Ako sakash tebe od Makedonski brod da te sobere bus malce teshko.

As if most of those destinations aren't pure gasto 🤣🤣 Full of tourists and businessmen of course

And how do you know that?

@22:53 You're so obssessed with my comments that you fail to read anything else. If you actually bother reading the comment in 20:30 you will understand why I made that reply which is a true fact whether you like it or not. But you're so insecure about your little airport that you think every comment has negative connotation and it clearly shows.

@23:24 Hahahaha this guy again with ZAG, it's miles ahead of you buddy but keep dreaming

Record breaking booming airport with 8 buses a day 🤣

When there is more demand sometimes they are sending two buses or mini bus, you comment but you dont know anything about it obviously. Yes, every bus is full but they dont want to make more profit by adding additional times. There is a reason for that and i have always had great experience with the bus. Very pathetic, making fun even for the buses to SKP airport. Delusional

wow even at 0.03 he was stil here

No matter how much you native Skopje people offend, it does not change the fact that when you go outside of the airport, the taxis ask for 3000 denari. What is 30 minutes to you, to someone is two or three hours. Next time you are happy about the lack of transport, think of my friends that have to get picked up by their parents, because there was never a bus from the airport. Especially not if it lands at 10 pm. I want you to imagine reaching a city that is several hours away. How would you get from the airport? I am very curious. I may even use your option. So please tell me

And this is a reply to the bus being perfect for every flight.
Here is the timetable https://www.wtransporter.com/#timetable

The last bus is at 6 pm 😂😂😂. Please tell me how to reach the bus station in Skopje, if my flight lands at 8 or 10 pm. I am very curious about your options.

Honestly, I don't care whether the airport is located on a highway or on a local village road. I expect JSP to drive 40 minutes. Why? Because I have driven for an hour from the airport to the nearest city. They are usually in the middle of nowhere, as is Skopje airport. Public transport is a necessity and the lack of reliable transport from and to the airport is the direct reason why many many many people from the nearby cities here have NEVER flown. These people have never flown and people near the airport have flown a lot. I think that is stupid, just because there is no bus. My friends must be picked up by parents at 8 pm 10 pm because there is no bus to the center!

Let's say that I'd use the bus. If the time is incompatible, I should wait for the bus for TWO HOURS, then drive for 40 minutes and only then catch a bus to my city, if there is any. That is the real situation. Anyone that says that public transport is not necessary or that it's impossible, has not been in this situation. I ask you to imagine to land at this time and reach your home. The airport can have direct flights to Bali, but if I can't reach the center, and instead have to taxi a taxi to the pay toll and wait like a hooker for the bus to pick me up from the pay toll, it beats the purpose for the airport.

What the hell??? No airport has buses to other cities? You cant find bus from Milan Malpensa to Pisa? Are you normal? Of course your parents will pick you up, i would do the same if i have to fly from Ohrid, Sofia, Pristina or Solun. I dont understand how can you ask for smth this stupid? We can not do bus station at ate airport with buses to every small village so that you have direct transport. If i was you, i would pick the bus from the airport to the train station and from there on continue with train or bus, thats why the airport shuttle stops at the bus station. You should be happy that you have direct flight from Skopje, its more then enough, believe me.

@11:41 the last bus is at 18h yes but from THE CITY TO THE AIRPORT, as the last flight of the day usually departs at 21h to Budapest, Istanbul or Zurich. Check more carefully, there is option from Airport to Skopje and there are buses at 23:45 and 02AM, which is perfect for both, flights which land before midnight and those from Vienna, Belgrade and other from Wizz around 1AM.

@11:51 okay i get you, but its not true that there is not enough connection between Skopje and the airport. Dont expect buses from all cities around the country to drive to Skopje.

because you are an idiot trolling for two days now. In the link that you posted there is a schedule for buses back to the city throughout the evening with the last one at 2am to accomodate the after midnight arrivals.

keep on using those smileys though they suit you very well

Bravo @13:46! I got tired from expaining the same thing over and over again just because two guys wants to have direct transport from their village and think that everywhere is like they imagined. Maybe there is a bus for you from Hahn to FRA or from Karlsruhe to Stuttgart, but our airport is in Skopje not in Shtip. Macedonians…always complain about everything but never hesitate to change something, and at the end of the day everything is fine. Please go to Europe and never come back, in that way nor your parents or the bus will have to pick you up. Thank you

I agree! I am very happy that we have direct flights from Skopje. But I should not have to wait several hours for a bus. And the bus from Makedonski Brod or Krushevo should stop at the airport. Flixbus. Even if it doesn't, I am not going to wait for several hours in hope that eventually, a bus from the airport would come. It may be acceptable for you, but I it is not acceptable for me, nor for people from Makedonski Brod or Makedonska Kamenica

I should expect. That's the only way that a country can be connected. It's very sad. I will hope! Hopefully, we'll see less liposuction banners and more buses.

And thank you for apologising. Please don't say provincija or selo. There is no need for that. I don't think that people that live there like those words very much...

How many idiots on this forum! You just get a car and park it on the airport. Its 25eur for up to a week which is super cheap.

You take a car and park it on the airport! Its 25eur for up to a week parking. Who needs buses?! Its ridiculous what you write here

*40eur
