Skopje Airport sees 34.8% growth in passenger traffic
Skopje International Airport has emerged as one of the fastest-growing medium-sized airports in Europe. According to a report by ACI EUROPE regarding air traffic for August 2026, passenger traffic at the Skopje airport increased by 34.8% compared to August 2025.
In the category of medium airports (handling between 1 and 10 million passengers annually), Skopje ranks fifth in growth, following Bratislava, Trapani, and Podgorica, and ahead of Palermo.
On a national level, North Macedonia was among the non-EU markets with the highest growth in August. The report noted that while the European average growth was 3.1%, markets outside the EU+ saw a 6% increase, driven by expanded capacity from low-cost carriers and strong demand in less developed aviation markets.
