Anon @10:10 Somebody, sometimes in the past mentioned this as option and now many are hopping that Skopje can get flight to JFK as a stop from Istanbul. Why on the Earth TK will do such a thing? It is much less costly and risky for them to transfer passengers from SKP to IST and then transfer them on flight to JFK there. On this way they have full planes of passengers from SKP to IST that are transferred on several different flights in IST not just JFK. If they start flying IST-JFK with stop in SKP they will make flight from IST to JFK much less attractive for other transfer passengers because they will have one more stop. There is no logic to start such a route.
