Three markets from the former Yugoslavia, including Bosnia, Serbia and North Macedonia, are going to experience significant growth during the second quarter of the year compared to the same period during the pre-pandemic 2019 based on current dana, with the number of available seats on aircraft grow in the double digits, according to Ex-Yu Aviation web portal.
Bosnia and Herzegovina and North Macedonia will see their figures grow over 30 percent, with the biggest increase registered in North Macedonia, where capacity will increase by 37 percent compared to four years ago. The main driving force will be Wizz Air company, which plans to introduce six aircraft based in Skopje this summer.

On the other hand, Serbia will see its seat capacity increase by 16 percent in the same period in 2019, with Air Serbia introducing a number of new routes from Belgrade during the second quarter.
Overall, Albania will see the biggest capacity growth in Europe on four years ago with a 124 percent increase, generated primarily by Wizz Air’s rapid expansion in Tirana.
