Macedonia’s air navigation services provider M-NAV has put a new Air Traffic Management (ATM) system into operation, while a new radar at Skopje Airport is in the final stages of testing. The radar, installed during 2025, is expected to become fully operational this month or October. Transport Minister Aleksandar Nikoloski said the two systems will improve the safety, security and efficiency of air traffic management across Macedonian airspace.
The upgrade comes amid strong growth in air traffic. A total of 173.000 aircraft movements were handled through Macedonian airspace during the first half of 2026, including both overflights and aircraft using the country’s airports. This represents an increase of 12.2% on last year, 23% compared to 2024 and 27% against 2023. The new ATM system was supplied by Italian aerospace and defence company Leonardo.
Is that to replace the one that stopped working last year?

DeleteLooks good. And if the previous one indeed died last year - then about time.
ReplyDeleteNot only that died last year , it did not cover the whole teritory and the whole air space of the country. Now the new radar covers the whole air space.
