Skopje seeks Qatar Airways return
NEWS FLASH
The Macedonian Minister for Transport and Communications, Blagoj Bačvarski, has held talks with the Qatari Ambassador to the country, Jassim Bin Hamad Al-Thani, where he emphasised the need for Qatar Airways to restore services between Doha and Skopje. The flights were suspended at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, in March 2020, and have not resumed since. "Cooperation between the two countries is very important in order to connect both the people and our economies. It is especially important for us to renew the flights between Skopje and Doha, in order to maintain business relations between the two countries”, Mr Bačvarski said. In 2019, most passengers flying between the two capital cities were transfers. The majority either originated or were destined for the Australian market – 33%, followed by India 7%, Thailand 5% and Singapore 4%. These markets are only now beginning to reopen for international travel in some form. Commenting on the Skopje service suspension, Qatar Airways previously told EX-YU Aviation news, “Many routes remain commercially unviable due to the significant drop in global demand for air travel. An ongoing review is being conducted and the intention is to reinstate flights in line with a return to regular conditions and market demand”.
