Qatar Airways, one of world's leading airline companies said it will launch Skopje-Doha flight as of November 2016. The company sent an official letter to Macedonia's Ministry of Transport and Communications on Wednesday regarding the launch of the flight.
Qatar Airways will promote the flight's details, Minister of Transport and Communications Vlado Misajlovski told reporters on Thursday.
He extended gratitude to the Qatari Ambassador to Macedonia and all of those who took part in negotiations that yielded the desired result. Misajlovski paid special respect to ruling VMRO-DPMNE leader Nikola Gruevski, saying that during his visit to Qatar at the time when he was Prime Minister the basic frame of the agreement on introducing the flight had been defined.
With this flight, plus the new ones to Bratislava, Berlin, Copenhagen and Prague, Macedonia will be connected with a total of 35 destinations, Misajlovski said.
The Government has been working on increasing the number of airline connections, which is rather important for the economy and tourism, Misajlovski said, pointing out that negotiations to that effect are already underway.
