"Air Albania" beyond flights
Air Albania

Beyond the everyday hassles of air travel, “Air Albania” is consolidating and creating its profile as a national company. It was first introduced in March 2017 and was officially founded on May 16, 2018, giving Albania its own airline, like most European countries.

Two years after starting operations, the company faced its biggest global challenge, the COVID-19 pandemic. While many airlines suspended operations, Air Albania continued to operate repatriation flights for Albanian citizens and the transport of medical cargo. It was this company that brought the plane with the first doses of the coronavirus vaccine to Tirana, becoming a vital link in communication with the world.

Until 2021, its three aircraft, the ambassadors of “Air Albania”: Migjeni, Lasgushi and Naimi, continued to fly, becoming a symbol of the Albanian presence in the sky. On many of its routes, the company still includes a checked baggage allowance and offers hot meals during the trip. Caring for passengers is not just a slogan: assistance for elderly passengers or those with health problems, oxygen when medically required, understanding support for those traveling in painful family cases and immediate treatment of urgent medical loads. These are the concrete choices that prove the company's philosophy.

More than 300 young Albanians have been trained in the field of aviation thanks to “Air Albania”. Some of them are now part of the best European and global airlines, transforming the company into a professional springboard. As a company with Albanian capital, it contributes directly to the country's economy, through hundreds of thousands of banking transactions and the strengthening of the domestic economic chain. In the Balkans, only Serbia has another successful airline with 100% state capital. In 2024 alone, its turnover reached around 700 million euros and it held over 52% of the market. This is an example that shows that a domestic airline can be much more than a transport operator: it can become a development bridge for the establishment of an Education and Training Academy, where high technicians, pilots, and professional crews can be formed, generating a new sustainable and future-oriented economy. Aviation is an industry where challenges are not lacking: planes face technical defects, supplies are often delayed, weather closes airports, crews reach the limit of working hours, while competition lowers prices by the hour. “Air Albania” has not been immune to problems and criticism, but it has nevertheless continued to remain present in a highly competitive market.

Her message is clear: if a ticket includes checked baggage, a hot meal, and humane policies for passengers who need extra assistance, then the difference of a few euros is not a “punishment.” Rather, it is a choice for the kind of travel ecosystem we want to support and preserve.
