Wow, that's quick, it's already taking shape. I definitely believe it will be finished by the end of the year at this rate.

[Filip MKD]

I'm suprised how fast they are constructing this.

[Nikolaa]

Actually, now that I look at it closely, some of those pictures are not of Skopje airport. That blue building is too small and the shape of it is wrong.

[FoSsiL-mk]

SKopje airport isn't just the passenger terminal building. There are the administrative building(first photos), the cargo terminal (the blue one), maintenance building, fire department... These all are going to be new... also the apron runway extension... and new taxiways... plus the barracks for ARM, and the new platform parking for the helicopters... actually is almost a whole new airport, excluding the existing runway and taxiways.... and the old terminal building...

What were the passenger figures for these two airports in 2010?

Wizz considers Skopje base
Wizz Air stretches its wings over EX-YU

According to sources close to Skopje Alexander the Great Airport, Eastern Europe’s largest low cost airline, Wizz Air, is considering setting up a base in Macedonia’s capital. Wizz, which will commence flights from London Luton and Venice to Skopje this summer, is being lured by TAV Holdings, the airport’s owner, which is offering concessions to the no frills airline. TAV believes that the only way Skopje can expand is by having a scheduled airline based at the airport. The Turkish airport operator hoped, at one point, that Turkish Airlines would set up a national carrier in Macedonia. Wizz Air’s bookings for the new Luton – Skopje service are going well, which led the airline to increase its initial frequencies.

Wizz Air is already studying the prospect of opening services from Charleroi in Belgium to Skopje. Furthermore, in 2011, Macedonia will fully implement the European Free Sky agreement, which would allow Wizz Air to set up a base in Macedonia with ease. The airline will most likely open its base in Skopje sometime in 2012. Wizz Air opened its 13th base in Europe last week in Belgrade, with bases set to open in Lithuania’s Vilnius and Romania’s Targu Mures later in the year.

Skopje Airport’s brand new multi million Euro terminal is set to open in October 2011. Together with a brand new building, the airport’s runway has also been lengthened.

After WizzAir another low cost company to fly from the new airport Aleksandar The Great in Skopje

Niki coming to Skopje

Soon in Skopje

After securing the arrival of low cost airline Wizz Air, Skopje Aleksandar the Great Airport has another new high profile arrival. The Austrian low cost airline, Niki, will commence flights to Skopje this summer with 2 weekly flights from Vienna. A promotional flight is set to be operated on Thursday when a press conference is also scheduled to take place in Skopje, where details of the new service will be revealed. On Thursday, the public will be informed of the launch date of the new route, flights information and ticket prices.

Niki recently requested for a permit in order to operate flights to Skopje. A month ago, when the Macedonian Civil Aviation Agency made public the airlines that are set to operate flights to Skopje this summer, Niki was not listed as one of them. The Austrian no frills airline has been lured by Macedonia‘s airport operator TAV Holdings, local media report. This summer another low cost airline, Wizz Air, will launch services from London Luton and Venice to Skopje.

Currently, within the EX-YU region Niki only operates flights to Belgrade. From June 29, the airline will launch flights to Priština.
