This was confirmed by spokesperson Valentina Gara, who emphasized that expectations are for this season to be just as busy, even though the last three months saw a decline in traffic.
She announced that July has recorded a slight increase in passengers, and that the airport is fully capable of handling any volume.
“We are ready to welcome any number of travelers. Last year we closed with 4.6 million passengers. In the first three months we had growth, while in the following three months we recorded a decline. However, July has started with a small increase, and we hope this season will be busy,” Gara stated.
According to her, the decline in passenger numbers in the preceding months was influenced by the crisis in Europe, triggered by the US-Iran conflict.
Regarding ticket prices, Gara explained that they are determined by airlines and vary depending on market demand, destination, and the time of purchase.
She added that the fees applied by the airport for each passenger remain fixed, regardless of how much the ticket costs. These taxes amount to approximately 20.53 euros per person and include security services, air traffic control, and ground operations.
On the other hand, Gara announced that Prishtina Airport has enriched its offering with new destinations and routes, and that the flight network will continue to expand.
She highlighted the addition of routes from operators GP Aviation and Wizz Air, as well as the establishment of Wizz Air’s base in the Kosovar capital, calling this a historic step for the country’s aviation sector.
According to Gara, in the short term, new destinations will be added and flight frequencies on current routes will increase.
