Macedonia and UK move to enact new air services pact (exyuaviation.com)

Macedonia and the United Kingdom are advancing a new bilateral Air Services Agreement, signed in London on October 22, 2025, to replace the 1999 framework. The pact will enter force after both governments complete constitutional procedures and exchange diplomatic notes. It grants liberal operating conditions, allowing each side to designate multiple airlines, set their own frequencies, capacity, and fares, and operate between any UK and Macedonian points, with fifth-freedom rights subject to mutual arrangements. Wizz Air UK currently flies London Luton–Skopje, and TUI Airways ran seasonal London Gatwick and Manchester–Ohrid services in summer 2026.
