In an interview with the media, Prime Minister Edi Rama announced that Kukes Airport creates premises for a significant economic development in the entire area, while also talking about projects in this sector.

PM Rama stated that the airport of Vlora will be larger than that of Rinas, while regarding the airport of Kukës, he said that it creates premises for a significant economic development in the whole area.

Regarding Saranda airport, Rama said that it will be seasonal, emphasizing that the south of the country is one of the important tourist destinations.

“Kukës Airport creates premises for an important economic development in the whole area. While Vlora is on site. There is set a deadline of 36 months for Vlora airport. We will try to be a little ahead, so that it starts operation within the current mandate. Vlora will be the base of “Air Albania”. Another project is Saranda. Saranda Airport has a different nature, because it is only seasonal. Vlora will be all year round and will be larger than that of Tirana because cargo is included. A bigger runway, too”, said PM Rama.

PM Rama expressed his conviction that tourism will be a great transformer in all economic aspects and in 2030 Albania will be the country with the most developed tourism in the Western Balkans.

“Albania in terms of tourism is becoming more and more attractive and the second as a result of a more liberal policy that we pursued in times of pandemics. As the prices dropped drastically at Tirana Airport, only “Wizz Air” has saved about 120 million Euros to the citizens and by calculating other companies, about 220 million Euros are saved from tickets due to the reduction. With the abolition of the border tax, there will be another reduction of tickets. I am convinced that tourism will be a great transformer in all economic aspects and in 2030 Albania will be the country with the most developed tourism in the Western Balkans “, said Prime Minister Rama.

After successful tests, the “Wizz Air” Co. landed its planes at Kukës International Airport “ZAYED – North Wings”, where it will operate with the first 4 destinations to Austria, Germany and Switzerland, initially twice a week./p.s./
