NEWS FLASH


Skopje Airport welcomed 2.954.568 travellers through its doors in 2024, marking its best passenger performance on record. The figure grew by 2.5% year-on-year, or by 71.094 travellers During 2024, Skopje Airport welcomed airBaltic as a new customer but was faced with a significant reduction in capacity by Wizz Air, which continues to struggle with fleet issues. This led to a decline in passenger figures following a record first quarter. Looking ahead, Transavia has confirmed the launch of flights between Amsterdam and Skopje for 2025, while Wizz Air has scheduled three new routes.

    Great too see SKP almost at 3m hopefully 2025 brings new Airlines and more routes and better connectivity. Hopefully the dependence on wizz is reduced but also the engine issue with wizz planes hurry up and return all the frequency and routes they have reduced.

    I am glad to see Transavia is coming to serve AMS ,also waiting for Easyjet to confirm Orly , plus Dubai , that would be amazing routes from SKP, and of course if we see Doha it would be more then perfect. Also waiting for the new tender results. Serving almost 3m passengers is good if we know all the cuts frok Wizz caused by the engine issues , finger crossed this year to be more succesfull,more routes and new airlines to come and see our real potential!!!

    Considering what's happening, it's amazing. Just shows how much more potential there is in this airport, once W6 is back, it's gonna be crazy.

      I cannot express my surprise by the December pax figures. Last year the airport was almost closed from 24.12 till end of the year which was not the case this year. Still the fugures are down by 8.4 percent.

      With all the cuts from W6 it is still ok , 1.8m passengers in a country of just 2m is good , imagine what will be when W6 back to normal? And thats numbers of 1.8 are still ok because even in the best years of W6 in SKP I am not sure if they handle this numbers ? :D

      With capacity restrictions at SKP and fares going up (especially on W6) I wonder if PRN profited from that. They did not rely so much on W6.

    Wizz Air just announced a new round of expansion for the summer. In the region there is very little new, only SKP with 3 new routes but these are compensation for cuts elsewhere.

    New flights added from: Varna, Cluj, Chisinau, Craiova, Katowice, Krakow, Kutaisi, Rome, Venice, Skopje and Warsaw.

    I guess there are their top priority markets right now.

    Any words on how Skopje is probably the only large European capital to not have a railway connection to the city? And how people are being left on the mercy of the taxi mafia, own transportation or the 1 barely reliable airport bus? All in all 4km of railroad track is needed.

      Yeah and were it be a railway connection price would probably be around 3-5 eur with trains going each hour both ways, or every 30mins. Sounds better than expensive falling apart taxis.
