Jun 15, 2010 (newstodate): The new Macedonian carrier MAT Airways is still waiting for its AOC, clearing the runway for its final take-off.
As one further step towards its goal, the carrier has now taken delivery of its first aircraft, formerly operated by the now-defunct predecessor MAT Macedonian Airlines and now approved for commercial service after being grounded since May 2009.
MAT Airways hopes to launch flights by the end of this month, chartered by tour operators.
Behind the new carrier, managed by Gjorgi Chachkirov, is the Serbian tour operator Kon Tiki Travel.
