Good result
ReplyDeleteOk, but already a significant gap with PRN which had 181.130 passengers this January!
ReplyDeletePRN has always significantly more passengers during the holiday months (January, the time around Easter, July, August and December) because of the strong diaspora demand. The numbers are more evenly spread at SKP because of the more diverse passenger structure.
DeleteI am not implying that SKP has no or little diaspora traffic, but it has more inbound and outbound tourist demand, KS being still an unexplored country and KS citizens needing visas to travel to the EU.
it is the same gap as last year so nothing new here or even "significant"
DeleteThanks for the insight :)
DeleteIts nice to see "off the beaten path" destinations such as Tel Aviv from Skopje.
