SKP Skopje

How deep the SKP board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from SKP. This reads the same 53 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound, what the clock here does to a Gulf working day and which of the destinations shut at night, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 46of the 53 destinations are flown by one airline
• 39destinations run less than once a day
• 0destinations have four or more departures a day
• 62.3%of the destinations name Wizz Air, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at SKP

19 airlines appear on the SKP board and they do not hold it evenly. Wizz Air is on 33 of the 53 destinations, 62.3 per cent of them, and on 33 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 23.1 of the 45.6 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is AJet on 6 destinations. 13 of the 19 airlines at SKP appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

An airport held this tightly is quick to book and slow to recover: with 33 of the 53 destinations on one airline, the second aircraft on an SKP sector is usually another Wizz Air aircraft, and when there is not one the desk is looking at another airport rather than another airline. That is why the alternate airports listed above matter more at SKP than the destination count does.

How much of the SKP board is daily

Of the 53 destinations, 14 are flown at least once a day and 39 are not, 3 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the SKP board is flown 5 times a week.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: SKP to Paris (ORY) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 12.7 of the 45.6 departures a day, 27.9 per cent of the whole board. With 73.6 per cent of the 53 destinations running less than daily, this is a board that rewards booking the outbound before the collection is confirmed rather than after.

The ten destinations out of SKP where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable. 27 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from SKP

The desk holds the return direction for 41 of the 53 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On three of them the return into SKP runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gaps are Istanbul (IST) at 2.3 out a day against 1.3 back, Geneva (GVA) at 0.43 out a day against 0.29 back and Nápoli (NAP) at 0.43 out a day against 0.29 back.

It runs the other way as well: Zurich (ZRH) files 3.1 a day back into SKP against 1.7 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at SKP

SKP keeps Europe/Skopje time, two hours behind Dubai in summer and three hours behind in winter, because the clock here moves and the Gulf clock does not.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 07:00 at SKP, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for seven hours. That is wide enough to settle a customs question at SKP and still make a departure the same day.

The night at SKP

9 of the destinations from here carry a documented night restriction of their own, which is a departure time question at this end rather than an arrival problem at the other.

Into Vienna (VIE) the door shuts at 23:30 local, so the last departure from SKP that lands inside it leaves around 21:50, on a modelled block of 1h 40m. Into Bâle/Mulhouse (BSL) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from SKP that lands inside it leaves around 20:52, on a modelled block of 2h 08m. Into Zurich (ZRH) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from SKP that lands inside it leaves around 20:58, on a modelled block of 2h 02m. Those three departure times out of SKP are worked backwards from the published window with the block time model this site uses everywhere, 720 to 880 km an hour by sector length with thirty minutes on the ground, so they are arithmetic rather than a timetable and the desk checks the published departure before it promises the landing.

Where SKP turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the North Macedonia country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

The site publishes 3 airport pair pages that start or end at SKP, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Skopje to Bâle/Mulhouse (BSL), Skopje to Bratislava (BTS) and Skopje to Eindhoven (EIN).

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with SKP already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 53 destinations above.
