Qatar Airways has officially confirmed that the Skopje-Doha flight will be launched on 17 July, said Minister of Transport and Communications Vlado Misajlovski on Monday.
“The airline has informed us it will start procedures over obtaining flight permits, whereas the first Skopje-Doha flight will be introduced on 17 July. This global airline will offer new possibilities for Macedonian citizens and direct flights to the Middle East”, said Misajlovski at today’s press conference.
He added that air traffic in Macedonia has achieved progress in recent years, both in number of passengers and new destinations.
“We completed 2016 with a record number of 1,8 million passengers at the Skopje and Ohrid airports. Today, we have over 30 destinations, 25 of which operated by low-cost airlines. We remain on the same course of attracting new airlines that will offer fresh destinations at accessible ticket prices”, said Misajlovski.
