Pristina-based GP Aviation retained its position as the airport’s busiest carrier for a second consecutive year, handling just over 1.3 million passengers in 2025 and posting a strong 42% increase. The airline accounted for more than 28% of all travellers at Pristina last year. GP Aviation has since announced plans for a major network expansion for the 2026 summer season, with new services planned from Pristina to Bergamo, Bremen, Brussels, Oslo, Salzburg and Vienna, adding to its existing sixteen-destination network. With its announced summer 2026 additions, the airline is aiming to deepen its presence and defend its position against low cost competitors.
