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.
Skopje's largest airlines by scheduled seat capacity, 2024
Surprised they saw growth despite all the reductions. Ig the 50%+ in January carried em
ReplyDeleteHopefully things go for the better in 2025
Not perfect but still good results for SKP , Almost 3m passengers is great results despite all the cuts , airport show that even without W6 flights is still good,2025 will be better , just keep the great work bring more airlines and routes!
ReplyDeleteWithout W6 flights SKP would have 1.3 million passengers. Not sure if this can be count good.
DeleteI am saying that despite all the cuts from W6 we are still with solid numbers as I write not perfect but its good , could be even worse right ? W6 is important player in Macedonia and I hope we will see all its potential this and next year.
DeleteGreat 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.
ReplyDeleteWell done Skopje Almost 3m definitely 202t going to be a better year can't wait to see ohrid results
ReplyDeleteIt will be better for sure.
DeleteOhrid is around 250k but still wait for the official results.
nah its 220k
DeleteGood results overall, the future is bright.
ReplyDeleteIt is with hard work the success is guaranteed!!
DeleteI 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!!!
ReplyDeleteConsidering 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.
ReplyDeleteSo crazy, lol
DeleteI 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.
Delete16:25 typical pessimist... People been complaining all year and it was the best year ever. Imagine in a normal year.
DeleteWith 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
DeleteWith 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.
DeleteWizz 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.
ReplyDeleteNew 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.
looking at the monthly numbers it has one of the lowest seasonability in ExYu
ReplyDeleteI hope they bring back on roster the flight to and from Hannover.
ReplyDeleteAny 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.
ReplyDeleteBEG and ZAG have railway to the airport?
DeleteThe one in BEG is under construction.

taxi is fixed price 25€ to the center
DeleteYeah 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.
