Any reason to not operate in the peak months?
ReplyDeleteThe deal is to operate outside the season in Macedonia. In summer peak this operator holds mostly Dubrovnik.
Deleteprobably not enough planes. RSD Reisen offers balkan tours. The tour Starts in Skopje-Pristina-Prizren- Skhodher-Tirana-Ohrid-Skopje.
DeleteMistake sorry Skopje-Pristina-Prizren-Skhoher-Podgorica-Kotor-Budva-Tirana-Ohrid-Skopje
Delete@10.41 i think they fly to Antalya
Delete10:47 yes the tour starts in Skopje and finish in Skopje
Delete10:41 make sense because Freebird is turkish carrier , but as I research their main summer place is Dubrovnik
@11.18 your "research" is wrong. Their DBV charters were only during winter and guess what they were also organized by RSD. Dubrovnik has almost zero charters in summer
Delete@11:43. Correct. Time schedule, as indicated in article, was exactly identical to one used for Dubrovnik. No summer flights
DeleteDuring the peak summer months even us from Skopje are not going out during the day when it is 40 degrees.
DeleteHappy to see SKP is growing and showing its potential. Great job! Every day flight from Europe's capital cities is amazing.
ReplyDeleteTAV is laser focused on increasing SKP's business with Turkish airline companies.
ReplyDeleteRSD and Freebird Europe works together long time , it is not a new cooperation.
Deletefreebird cabin crew uniforms inspired by mlada partizanka
ReplyDeleteGreat news for SKP!
Whats wrong with the uniforms ? Something different is always nice.
DeleteBtw great news for SKP
@11.28 who said anything bad?
DeleteThey also run charters from AYT to SKP during summer time
ReplyDeleteYes they do Freebird base is in Antalya. But this one that will do the chartes to SKP is Freebird Europe and its based in Malta and its subsadiary if Turkish Freebird
DeleteVIE is added for the autumn run as well
ReplyDeleteReally ? They add Vienna too ? So basicly its possible we see more European cities on the list , great news!! 👍👏
Deletenot really, only VIE is added. and most of these are flown in triangle
DeleteStill good , they have just 3 planes ,cannot send single plane to a single city ... make sense , thats why its triangle service
