Pilot Comments for LWSK
Philipp
100LL still well under 2 euros per liter. But in summer there’s no chance of obtaining parking approval. The only way to visit the city and region then is to continue to Stenkovec LWSN, the city’s aeroclub field. See aeroklubskopje.mk. Obtain PPR well in advance via aeroklubsk@gmail.com; confirm that customs/immigration will be handled elsewhere. You will then be sent an approach chart. The grass runway is wide and long, but expect high density altitude. 100LL is also available on the field (and a maintenance facility, etc.), though probably not quite as cheap as at LWSK. From the field, take Uber or similar into the city.

LWSK requires prior permission for landing, with submission of aircraft documents (registration, airworthiness, insurance) to agramatikov@caa.gov.mk, rco.rco@mnavigation.mk, and slotcoordinationskp@tav.aero. A slot is also required but functions mainly as a planning tool; official tolerance is +/-20 minutes. ATC and ground handling are described as professional and helpful. IFR and VFR operations are both supported, but the airport is surrounded by high terrain, especially to the west; precise approach procedures are important, particularly for RWY 34.
Landing fees for aircraft up to 1.2 t MTOW are reported at about €110, payable by card. Other examples include landing and one night parking about €50–60. Handling fees may apply; technical landings (fuel stops) can receive a 50% handling discount, though training flight discounts may not always be granted. Example: landing and handling about €40–60.
Avgas 100LL and Jet-A1 are available; fuel must be paid in cash (€, £ or $ accepted), no cards. Avgas price examples range from €1.10 to €1.70 per liter. For fuel arrangements, contact katerina.velkova@makpetrol.com.mk.
No General Aviation Terminal exists; pilots should announce themselves at the information desk and proceed through standard controls using the term "Pilota" for expedited processing. Immigration lines can be long unless using crew credentials or attire.
Transport options include taxi (about €20–30 to city center) and shuttle bus (about 180 dinar), with hotels such as Stonebridge and Bushi Resort recommended by pilots. The city center is accessible in 7–15 minutes by car or taxi.
For official matters or slot coordination, use slotcoordinationskp@tav.aero or Tel.+389 02 3148305. Procedures vary; see AIP/NOTAM. LWSK is generally suitable for non-commercial GA flights seeking a professional stopover with available Avgas and straightforward permit process.
