Turkish Airlines overtakes Austrian Airlines and once again becomes busiest transfer airline for Skopje International. The Turkish carrier was third busiest at Skopje previously this year with Pegasus Airlines on second and Austrian Airlines on the first place.
However, as of the next week Turkish Airline will overtake both Pegasus and Austrian by increasing the flights on the route Istanbul - Skopje - Istanbul, while Austrian Airlines has reduced Vienna - Skopje - Vienna flights from 14 to 11 times a week in early November.
As of 2 December, Turkish Airlines will operate 10 times a week to Skopje as we previously reported on our website and Instagram profile. They will add second daily rotations on Mondays, Thursdays and Sundays. Airbus A321 and Boeing B737-800 aircraft will be deployed. The airline will offer 13.860 seats on this route in December and 86 flights which represents an increase by 34% if compared to November when the airline offered something above 10.000 seats.
Austrian Airlines operates 11 times a week to Skopje, every day except on Tuesday and Saturday. On Tuesday they operate one daily rotation only while for Saturday, they don't operate any flight. Embraer E195 aircraft is deployed on this route.
