MAT Airways

The biggest Serbian tourist agency Kon Tiki Travel, Belgrade, and Metropolitan Investment Group, Belgrade, in accordance with Macedonian statutory regulations have established the new air transport company.

Skywings International Airlines, Macedonia’s largest charter airline, was left without an operating license and decided to merge with its rival MAT, with the aim of reducing costs and optimizing operations.

The Macedonian Civil Aviation Agency says that it did not play a part in MAT’s service suspension and adds that the airline has a permit to operate flights from Skopje and Ohrid to Zurich, Düsseldorf, Berlin, Hamburg, Vienna and Copenhagen until 15 June 2012.

According to MAT’s management it did so in order to review its position on the market in face of increased competition.

The MAT Airways fleet included the following aircraft (as of 7 July 2011[update]):
