Conflict at Vlora Airport creates information chaos: Contradictory announcements
Vlora Airport

The open conflict between the shareholders of Vlora International Airport, businessmen Behgjet Pacolli and Valon Ademi, which has been taking place for months at the doors of the courts with successive decisions and has also appeared widely in the media, seems to be already producing consequences in the information space on social networks, creating confusion for the public and the market.

Recently, a Facebook page claiming to represent Vlora International Airport has published an announcement stating that the Swiss airline Chair Airline will be the first carrier to operate from this airport, with direct Zurich-Vlora flights starting from June 26, 2026, twice a week until October 23, 2026. The announcement is accompanied by official statements, quotes from airport executives and calls for ticket reservations, implying that everything is confirmed and in the implementation phase.

However, a research conducted by Ekofin.al on social networks shows that there is more than one page claiming the status of the “official page” of Vlora Airport, with content, tone and announcements that do not match each other. This situation raises serious doubts about the authenticity of the information disseminated and the real authority behind these public communications.

The doubts deepen even further when attention shifts to the airline itself mentioned in the announcement. Referring to Chair Airline's official communications and materials, the destination "Vlora" does not currently appear on the list of destinations announced or promoted for the 2026 summer season. The lack of any official reference from the airline itself for this route makes the announcement published on social networks even more contradictory./ ekofin.al
