Besides the investments on the gates area of Skopje Airport, Kurt also emphasized the investments done in technical systems upgrades, ground handling and terminal equipment, in order to reach increased operational efficiency at Skopje Airport.
“The previously noted investments are new features for improvement of passenger’s experience which makes them very visible to everyone. However, in 2025 we have made other investments too, focusing on technical systems upgrades and new equipment for ground handling and terminal operations, which are more visible to airlines as our direct clients. Some of the new equipment we bought for Skopje Airport tarmac are: heavy firefighting truck and other ground handling equipment, then new carpark self-payment terminals and ambulance vehicle, while we also did an extension and adaptation of the waiting area for passengers before passport control”, explains Kurt.      
The new BTA’s food and beverages restaurant Need-Stop is located on 320 square meters and with its 65% extended offer already attracts many passengers while they are waiting on the gates. 
The new best-seller free shop of ATU is located on 125 square meters and attracts passenger’s attention with its specific offer covering mostly local, Macedonian brands. 
In parallel with the investments at Skopje Airport, preparations for new development projects are being carried out at Ohrid Airport, which are in the administrative phase, with a focus on improving operational processes, passenger facilities and the visual design of the airport. 

According to Kurt, all investments so far have already brought significant changes and a better daily experience for both employees and passengers. As he said, TAV Macedonia, with the support of its mother company – TAV Airports, a member of French ADP group, will continue to focus on improving both Macedonian airports to make them even more impressive, more modern and recognizable for their top-notch service.
