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
Skopje’s largest airlines by scheduled seat capacity, August 2024

ReplyDeleteThe last days I saw they returned one 321 , it is possible we see one more for the winter ...
DeleteThat a321 is returning today to Gdansk :)
DeleteAnd not coming back ?
DeleteBravo Fraport... wait, wrong airport.
ReplyDeleteBravo TAV
DeleteBravo ADP , with W6 cuts 308k is good number 👍
DeleteWow, Sarajevo is almost catching up with Skopje
ReplyDeleteCahtching up in what ? Sarajevo its not even close to 2m pax and also 50k less to reach 300k in a single month , it is not even close my friend , SKP with all the problems with W6 is still far away from SJJ ;)
DeleteI mean thats not fully true, Skopje had more than double the passengers of Sarajevo last year, and look at it now?
DeleteYes but this year SKP has until now 2m pax and SJJ have 1.2 , SKP reaches 308k , SJJ 260k in a single month , and is this for you close numbers ???
DeleteI think there is such an opportunity right now for a small airline in MK with a mix of 4 to 6 E190/A320.
ReplyDeleteNow is difficult I think it was stupid Macedonia established airlines between 1991-2000 when they were not ready for it they should have established an airline around 2010
DeleteThey 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.
Deletenot bad considered capacity has been 334.636 (plus some 5-10k charters that is not sunexpress,ajet or pegasus) : https://www.exyuaviation.com/2024/08/ex-yu-airports-see-mixed-august.html
ReplyDeleteOHD is also included in that numbers dont forget :) but yes with all the problems 300k is still ok
DeleteOHD is not included in the number. It is for Skopje only.
DeleteI am saying for both airports , its 341.501 for August ...
Deletecan somebody pls give a link to the statement that half of the airlines that applied for the tender are not low cost, fala.
Delete15:07 https://youtu.be/gPNexLtLNDI?si=xdxO8nNNecz9zS-Z last couple minutes the minister is saying that info. I hope you can open the link
Deletethanks. its not half though. looks like at least one hub will be added
DeleteHe 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!
DeleteJust 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.
DeleteAlso, if half of the airlines that applied are not LCC, then the other five are Transavia, Wizz, Ryan, easy and Eurowings? Treska gluposti.
This new agreement frok today is with one of the biggest tour operator in Europe , and it will start in February 2025 , almost every day an airplane will arrive at SKP airport. Expections are for all year 35.000 tourist to come. And it will be operated by Freebird airlines.

What was the name of the agency again? Please
Deletei found the french airports its 3 of them which makes it 13 airports in total .
Deletethere are no airline details provided.
Which airports are they? Can u provide a list please?
DeleteRSD is the company name , and there will be at least 20 flights in a month , most likely it will be operated by Feebird airlines. They will arrive in SKP and depart also from SKP!!
DeleteSo they will operate from Frankfurt, Dusseldorf, Hamburg, Hannover, Berlin, Munich, Stuttgart, Leipzig, Gatwick and Manchester. I couldnt find their offer in French. At least two flights per day will be operated as of mid February.
DeleteCDG, LYS and MRS.
Deletenone of the 13 is year round
Great job SKP , with all the problems with W6 still made to reach more then 300k in a single month , also september will be more then 300k which is amazing!!
ReplyDeleteCreate a national airline with A319 that Air Serbia will phase out and launch flights to European hubs !
ReplyDeleteWow, 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.
ReplyDeletewow sad h8ter. How many other airports should rename themselves?
