WIZZ AIR AND TAV MACEDONIA ANNOUNCE NEW DESTINATIONS WITH A SPECIAL FLIGHT FOR FOSTER CHILDREN

3RD AIRCRAFT IN SKOPJE, 1 NEW AIRPORT AND 6 NEW ROUTES

Skopje, 22 January: Wizz Air will operate six new destinations from Skopje and Ohrid airports, operated by TAV Macedonia. The companies have announced the new routes by organizing a special flight for the children of Skopje’s foster home.

Wizz Air, the largest low-cost airline in Central and Eastern Europe, will deploy a third Airbus A320 aircraft at its Skopje base from 29 June adding 5 new services from the Macedonian capital to Friedrischshafen, Oslo-Torp, Barcelona, Hamburg Luebeck and Nuremberg. Each new route will be operated twice weekly. The new aircraft will allow Wizz Air to increase the number of weekly flights on the existing routes from Skopje to Cologne, Gothenburg, Frankfurt Hahn, Malmo, Milan Bergamo and Paris Beauvais.

Wizz Air also announced operations from Macedonia’s second airport, Ohrid, which will take the number of airports in the WIZZ network to 110. The new service from Ohrid to Basel Mulhouse Freiburg will begin on 1 July and operate twice a week.


Wizz Air now offers a total of 20 routes to 10 countries from Macedonia.

John Stephenson, Executive Vice President of Wizz Air, said: "Today’s announcement is great news for Macedonia. By expanding our Skopje fleet and adding Ohrid to our route network, we create more travel opportunities and a greater choice of destinations. This is expected to create more local jobs as well as further stimulate tourism in Macedonia. We expect that our 6 new services and the increased capacity on existing services will be welcomed by consumers as we bring more low fares to Macedonia.”

Zoran Krstevski, General Manager, of TAV Macedonia, said: “Expanding the list of destinations from the airports that TAV operates in Macedonia is a great pleasure for us as a company but also for our passengers that enjoy our services on a daily basis. These new six routes are a confirmation of our continuing work for providing everything that is required for the airlines to use the Macedonian airports as well as for the passengers to have the best possible travel experience. This last thing was on our mind when the special flight for the children was suggested. By organizing it, we’re hoping that they’ll have a glimpse of what it means to travel through airports and by airplanes. Also, this is in line with TAV’s committed work in the field of corporate social responsibility which will continue in the future”.

TAV Macedonia hosted more than 1.2 million passengers at Skopje and Ohrid Airports in 2014 with a 20 percent increase from 2013. The flight number at the airports reached 13.969 with a 13 percent rise during the same period.
