Skopje’s largest airlines by scheduled seat capacity, August 2026
fenomenalno
ReplyDeleteYes, riding the Wizzair wave as long as it lasts is good for passengers. The airline holds a 62% market share...
DeleteGreat!
DeleteYes cheers for many more with Wizz air🥳🥳
DeleteWOW. This is huge growth. Its good result for many European airports, but for the airport Skopje's size, its incredible.
ReplyDeleteWell i figure like this could never be at many european airports which operate at capacity.
DeleteWell done Skopje and Macedonia! This will definitely attract new airlines next year and Ohrid is definitely going to follow the same trajectory.

Delete445k in one month is a new dimension for that airport. Its only an astonishing 30k short of what ZAG achieved for example
ReplyDeleteVery true
DeleteI think 4 million passenger is possible this year, witih September the total number will be 3.1m and if each of the next three months ends with 300k pax than 4M is reachable.
ReplyDeleteSkopje will reach 4 million this year if this continues which obviously is great trajectory. From April the airport is hitting 300k + passengers every single month and September will be 400k + as well , so 4 millio is reachable number
Deletethere will not be 400k in Sep
Delete@14:32 No, Skopje International Airport cannot reach 4 million passengers in 2026.
DeleteLets see and then we will talk in the end , SKP will finish the year with 3.9 to 4 million pax
DeleteEveryone wants to visit
Delete23:13 of course it is great place to be visited , plus Freebird charters are back in October🥳
DeleteNo announcements for new routes for some time now, thats whats worrying me.
ReplyDeleteMore airlines actually left the market, Lufthansa, easyJet to Paria, LOT seasonal, OU reduction
Expansion will of course slow. But its great that its got this size thus far.
DeleteNew routes will be announce very soon. On the opening ceremony of the OHD airport the minister said: Very soon we will announce new routes that our people will love them .. so lets see
Delete14:36 expansion will continue with W6 thats more than clear
But at a far reduced rate.
DeleteWill see them soon when they publish it
DeletePublish what?
Delete@22:47 make a public guess how many new routes wizzair will announce over winter..hajde.
DeleteI would say between 2 and 4 at SKP and at least 4 in OHD
Delete23:13 publish the new routes very soon
DeleteWow! Great numbers
ReplyDeleteAmazing growth!
DeleteHappy to see SKP hits 400k + pass in the summer months something that probably nobody believed in the past few years behind. September will be 400k + and rest of the months 300k so the airport have a great chance for first time to reach 4 milion pass which is really amazing. I wish great success and maintain this growth, and hopefully new airlines and routes to enter the airport in future✈️🍀

DeleteCan Skopje overtake Zagreb this year
ReplyDeleteNo
Deletesomebody is joking
DeleteOne never knows with fanboy comments.
Deletebut they can overtake Split
Delete@16:44 No, Skopje International Airport cannot overtake Split Airport in 2026.
DeleteSplit is in the minus and Skopje has already added over 600k. The difference between them was 670k. Go and figure out if you have basic knowledge in matematika
DeleteOh that will please the Skopje fan boys.
Deleteas much as your dissapointment
DeleteNot at all. I welcome ALL increases in connectivity. @17:14 grow up.
Deletelol
DeleteSkopje will overtake Split for sure , for Zagreb if Skopje continue tbis trend in the years that coming yes it is possible to be equal to Zagreb
DeleteLol. What world you live in?
DeleteLol u was saying the same for SKP couple years ago , now you dont accept the reality that the airport growing??
Delete4m are not happening, for that you need a growth in Nov and Dec but there will be none, even a minus is possible.
ReplyDeleteToday Wizzair cancelled the whole expansion during the xmas and NYE period, wiped out 11 weekly flights compared to yesterday,
maybe they add something new but i remain sceptical
Do we know if Palermo and Alghero will return for 2027?
Deleteno idea
DeleteThey are not bookable, but I'm sure someone will say that will change.
Delete@16,43 you have the freedom to say what you want but its a very redundant comment though
Delete^ But it is correct as things stand right?
DeleteDid they wipe out 11 weekly flights which were planned during the holidays season? On a separate note, Wizz has a lot of sales/promotions lately, I'm wondering if they are low on cash, like every 2nd day they are running some promotion
DeleteRyanair is like this all the time too .... thanks for caring
DeleteWhat has Ryanair got to do with this?
DeleteNothing, they're insecure about Wizz being SKP owners
Deletesomebody is just jealous of their results
DeleteWhy would anyone be jealous of an airport man?
DeleteSkopje will have Wizz air growth in winter too , dont just hate the results of an airport
Delete4 million maybe not but 3.9 yes will be reached ;)
But as people have stated, growth will slow a lot. Just wanting things doesnt make them happen.
DeleteEven now growth is declined from other airlines , W6 still keep the growth alive , so as long as W6 is present in the market the numbers will grow each year. You will see very soon the new annaounce
DeleteAnd what will be the routes? Copenhagen, Turku, Bremen and Turin?
Deleteexchange Turin with Palermo
DeleteHaven't they dropped Palermo?
Deletesensational results, but what happened in June ? only 15%
ReplyDeleteLufti left , some other airlines reduced as well thats why
DeleteThe legacy airlines realise its a lcc zone.
DeleteIf SKP keeps adding one millions passengers each year, it will have 10 million passengers in just over six years!
ReplyDeletetroll attack by the same guy from @18.55
DeleteYou got me
DeleteEverything is possible , if this trend continue why not ??
DeleteIt is Impossible to continue at that level, do you not get it? The Budapest boardroom that decides Skopje's fate would have to discover a whole lot of new passengers and places to fly to. Skopje will never ever reach 10million even by the late 2030s. The market is too small.
DeleteIf continues with this trend and tempo yes for 7-8 years will reach. If tourism grows , charters , getting more direct routes yes that will happend. Adding 1 million pax a year is massive
DeleteLol
Delete@admin any news on the GP Aviation incident in Basel?
ReplyDeleteWow SKP! Amazing 😍
ReplyDelete🇲🇰🇲🇰✈️
DeleteМама мия :)
ReplyDeleteIm missing SKP-LJU route fanboy in the comments 😀😀😀
ReplyDeletegets really creepy now
Delete^ You are the one being creepy mate.
DeleteSKP is geting 9 charter flights from 8 german airports next spring, you read it here first
ReplyDelete(they have nothing to do with the current ones)
