Skopje "Alexander the Great" Airport
In 2008 the Macedonian Government
signed a contract with the Turkish company Tepe Akfen Ventures (TAV)
for a twenty year long concession during which this company would manage
Macedonia's two existing airports - the Skopje Alexander the Great
Airport and the St. Paul the Apostle Airport in Ohrid.
In September 2011, the new terminal building, extension of the runway,
new administrative building, cargo building and new access road with
parking facilities were opened.
The goal of the project is to increase the capacity of Skopje Airport
to four million passengers per year with plans to turn Skopje Airport
into a major transit and cargo hub for Southeast Europe. Renovations of the Ohrid airport terminal
building and VIP sections were completed in the Spring of 2011. The
concession contract also includes the construction of a third airport
intended for cargo transport near the eastern Macedonian town of Štip
which eventually would be transformed into Macedonia’s main airport.
The total amount of the foreseen investment is 200 million Euros with 30
to 40 million Euros total concession payments to the Macedonian
Government over the 20-year concession period. Tepe Akfen Ventures
Airport Holding is one of the world's fastest expanding airport
