Skopje MACEDONIA Alexander the Great Airport

Skopje Alexander the Great Airport opens the doors to its brand new terminal
06-09-2011
Today, a new chapter in the history of Skopje Alexander the Great Airport begins as it opens the doors to its brand new terminal. The multi million Euro project took just over a year to complete and will allow Macedonia's capital to have the most modern airport facilities in the former Yugoslavia. The new terminal at Skopje Airport is ten times the size of the current terminal building, which was built in 1987 and will be closed as of tomorrow. The new terminal stretches over two levels and 40.100 square metres. Besides the new terminal the runway has been lengthened in order to accommodate larger aircraft. Furthermore, millions have been invested into supporting infrastructure such as access roads, a car park and an administrative office building.

The development of the new terminal was made possible by the Turkish airport operator, TAV Holdings, which took over the management of both Skopje and Ohrid airports from the government in early 2010. As a result, attending today's opening ceremony of the new terminal will be the Turkish Prime Minister, Turkish government officials and businessmen. The opening ceremony will take place this afternoon at 13.30 CEST.

TAV will now begin work in other fields to improve the airport's offering. The company will soon begin the construction of a new web page for both Skopje and Ohrid airports and will work with the Skopje public transport company for it to have a bus line from the airport to the city. The operator is also working hard on finding an established airline to base an aircraft in Skopje, which would lead to an increase in passenger numbers. In the first half of the year, Skopje saw a passenger increase of 8%.

A total of 110 million Euros has been invested into the new terminal which features air bridges, several duty free shops, a food court, 23 check in desks, over a dozen passport control counters and has the capacity to handle 4 million passengers per year.
