The Albanian airline will start flights within this year. The news was
confirmed by the Turkish aviation giant “Turkish Airlines”, which is
assisting the Albanian government to establish a local company that will
have flights from the Rinas airport to other countries.

Ilker Ayci, chairman of the Turkish Airline executive board declared for journalist that the project is advancing as scheduled, and chances for the company to succeed are very big right now.

“Our expectancies are for Italian companies to reduce their operation in Albania and create a higher opportunity for this strategic partnership”, Ayci declared.

The creation of an Albanian airline company was announced by Prime Minister Edi Rama this May. The Turkish giant was involved in the project to assist the Albanian government, after a decision taken between Albanian PM Edi Rama and Turkish President, Erdogan.

Sources from the Prime Minister’s office say the company will be private. It will start operations with a smaller scale at first, and will gradually advance.
