"Preparations have started in March in cooperation with UEFA, eurocontrol, albcontrol, police and the airport that is responsible for flight permits. Everything started to materialize after the finalists were determined

Today Tirana Airport is required to offer 2 and a half times more than normal capacity. If today there are 17 planes on the stand, tomorrow we are required to have 42 planes. Imagine what the load will be. People understand us. "These crowds of people who enjoy, must be managed by the operation", said Et'hemaj.

Maksim Et'hemaj stressed that to manage the situation, two operational groups have been provided, where one will deal with security and movement in the city led by the Tirana Police, while the other has been placed at Alb Control where it will deal with the reception of passengers.
