NEWS FLASH


Skopje Airport handled 308.444 passengers in August, representing a decrease of 2.9% on last year. It comes as a result of Wizz Air’s network and capacity reductions, caused by the grounding of a significant portion of its Airbus A320neo-family fleet. During August, Wizz Air, as the airport's largest airline, decreased its overall capacity at Skopje by 14.3% or 27.330 seats. During the January - August period, Skopje Airport handled 2.000.994 passengers, up 5.1% following a record first quarter, which was unaffected by Wizz Air's fleet issues. In September, Skopje Airport is expected to have returned to growth as Wizz Air temporarily increased its number of flights during the month

      They were ready back then. Avioimpex was stonger and larger than OU is now, some 25 years after. The government stoped Avioimpex, just like they ruined everything else that was good and worth back then.

      He is saying at least what he expect is SKP to get Dubai back thats his goal , and OHD to get Istanbul. This days he has meetings with Spanish ambassador and today with Czech , and in both he mentioning his effort of establishing direct flights to those countries. We cannot know nothing while the tender is not finished. Lets wait and see , and hope for the best!

      Just today then announced that they made a deal with a German travel agnecy that as of next summer SKP will get one charter per day eather from Germany, France or UK which will boost tourists in Skopje. They will start their holiday here, then continue to Montenegro and Albania, return in Ohrid and then again two nights in Skopje.

      Also, if half of the airlines that applied are not LCC, then the other five are Transavia, Wizz, Ryan, easy and Eurowings? Treska gluposti.

    Wow, all other airlines combined do not have more seats than Wizzair does. It's sad to see an airport so dependant on a single airline. They should just change the name of Skopje Airport to WIZZSKP.
