"TAV Macedonia continues to mark record double digit passenger traffic increase. In the first four months of this year we have served a total of 1.2 million passengers at both Skopje and Ohrid Airports, which is a high increase of a record 32.4% and will rank us among the fastest-growing airports in Europe and worldwide. Airports Council International-Europe already ranked us among the fastest-growing non-EU airports with January figures. We are happy that the strong, record growth continues, despite the global geopolitical challenges and the energy crisis. This is not a coincidence but a direct result of our strong commitment and continuous efforts, together with the Government, to expand the route network from both Skopje and Ohrid Airports. This year, so far we have opened 5 new destinations, while in the upcoming period we will open additional 7 new destinations, from both airports, making a total of 12 new destinations. With this, we expect the passenger growth to continue until the end of the year, creating a strong basis for a stable growth in the upcoming years”, stated Nejat Kurt, TAV Macedonia General Manager.
