'Just a few months ago, we were here with the Prime Minister of Albania, Mr. Edi Rama and the CEO of 'Ryanair' at the inauguration of the new terminal where we announced the departure of Ryanair flights from Tirana. We ended the year with 7.25 million passengers, which was more than 120% from last year. This year the growth will continue, and by the end of 2024 we expect around 9 million passengers. We are constantly expanding and with the support of our partners, we are increasing the airport's capacity. This year we expect increased activity and are committed to accommodate air traffic and the flow of passengers, with the hospitality that characterizes Albania.' - declared Piervittorio Farabbi.

"The development of the airport makes Tirana an attractive place for investments by important airlines. We have very ambitious plans and while we are in discussions with the 'Kastrati Group', we want to open a Ryanair base here in Tirana, which will create more employment opportunities in the country. The new destinations we presented today will offer more opportunities, more choices, at the lowest prices.

Starting today, all Albanian citizens can book flights with 'Ryanair' starting from only 19.99 euros. We are enthusiastic to welcome millions of Albanian citizens to our fleet", said Michael O'Leary.
