According to Aleksandar Nikolovski, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport, the Macedonian airports have recorded a significant number of casualties in the first half of the year. Nikolovski stated that two million casualties were documented across the two primary airports within the initial six months, marking an increase exceeding 30% compared to the same period in the preceding year. The Minister highlighted the comparative nature of the increase.
He noted that when the current administration took office, the reported casualty rate was approximately two million per full year; however, the current half-year figure now equals that annual total. Furthermore, Nikolovski referenced historical data, pointing out that the casualty figure for the previous full year surpassed three million. These figures indicate a substantial rise in reported incidents at the Macedonian aviation facilities.
Officials anticipate that the current year may establish a new record for casualties at the airports. The data presented by the Ministry of Transport underscores a notable escalation in the incidence rate concerning casualties across the nation’s air travel infrastructure. The government has stated these figures represent a significant upward trend requiring ongoing monitoring and analysis.
