“The data predict that 2024 will be an even more successful year than last year, so we will do everything to avoid any delay in the processing of passengers,” Prime Minister said.

The investment keeps pace with the significant increase in the number of passengers and flights. The data of the first months of this year predict that the year 2024 will see an even greater number of passengers arrive in Albania as compared to last year.
