Skopje's largest airlines by scheduled seat capacity, 2025
Wow!
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo go Skopje love that overall most Balkan Airports are growing. Would love to see Ohrid have greater success aswell.
ReplyDeleteIt's the first time I say photo of SKP with 5 planes, not one of them Wizz! Is this a real photo or AI?
ReplyDeleteWizz operates in waves so it's not that uncommon.
DeleteNice to see North Macedonia with a healthy increase in aviation and connectivity. I've always found it nice to fly in and out of Skopje Airport.
ReplyDeleteI hope to see a flight from Skopje to Palermo ASAP
ReplyDeleteI am sure SKP management will act on it because you want to see it ASAP
DeleteHopefully JU gives SKP greater attention. Embraers could be utilized especially for transfer flights to North America
ReplyDeleteIf we remove Wizz Air from SKP, what are we left with?
ReplyDelete1.2 million passengers.
DeleteThen do the same exercise by removing Wizzair and Ryanair from other airports as well.
DeleteCongrats SKP! These are amazing numbers and it shows the potential this airport has. Not only passenger numbers are high but also the variety of destinations is quite satisfying having in mind the relative small size of the market.
ReplyDelete2026 will be also another year to remember.
Btw. very unique photo w/o any Wizz plane :-)
Congrats to SKP 💐🍾
ReplyDeleteGenova Airport in Italy had 2025 just lit bit over 1.6 Mio.passengers. Liguria is a touristic hotspot in Italy, GOA an important European port and a business destination. Under this aspect, the numbers of SKP are even more worth. So well done SKP!
Why the comparison with Genova may i ask?
Delete"During the year, Macedonia’s capital was most connected with Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen Airport, followed by Istanbul’s main airport, Vienna and Belgrade"
ReplyDeleteAdmin, not sure where you got this info from but the correct version is:
Both Istanbul Airports with 16.6%, followed by Basel 6.2%, Frankfurt 5.7%, Zurich, 4.5% and Memmingen 4.2%
As far as most flights to countries: Germany 25.4%, Turkey 23.6%, Switzerland 10.8%, Italy 5.5% and Sweden 4.3%.

I am well aware what the airport sent in the press release. The airport notes market share in terms of capacity for each individual destination, not the number of flights, which it refers to in the country statistics.
DeleteBravo SKP 👏
ReplyDeleteGreat to see 5 different airlines at once at SKP , I really like the photo!! Btw W6 2026 is planned to reach 3 million in Macedonia which means SKP will surely reach 4 million which is amazing
ReplyDeleteWhat is Skopje Airport terminal Capacity Limit?
ReplyDeleteAlso why havent they still not increased the landing systems what ever its called the one for making it easier to land in fog and stuff?
Pegasus is killing it in Skopje. If you add Turkish and Ajet to those numbers, the traffic between Macedonia and Turkey is nothing short of spectacular. Just amazing!
ReplyDelete... and SunExpress!
DeleteBeside the launch of the two new routes by Wizz, are they increasing frequencies to some of the existing routes?
