In a thorough investigation, CNA has brought up in several articles the case of the airline company, which carries the Albanian flag on its tail, and on its body it says: "Air Albania" .
Not without purpose, we investigated for several weeks what was happening to "Air Albania", the one that should make every Albanian proud and should fly free in the sky, but apparently, it never left that way, from media attacks, from accusations, prejudices, judgments, half-truths, truths. We investigated after the attacks and false news that were spread in a criminal manner.
The company ended up in debt, unlike what was promised, and failed to shine as it should have. A beautiful but short beginning, now a continuation in survival.
CNA showed in several articles that the attacks coming against "Air Albania", some of them were half-truths or fake news. Someone was spreading messages. We showed with facts and documents, many shocking details, we went as far as court decisions, the inflated figures of the company's catering.
We told how "Air Albania" had always had two planes, maybe even 1 at certain times, out of 7 planes promised at the time of its creation. "Air Albania"'s fleet was supposed to have 7 planes, but it never became so. Someone from "Turkish Airlines" didn't want it so big and proud, but had other goals.
Then, someone else who managed the company for many years in Albania, Sinan Bilek, signed and aggravated the company's economic situation and debts. Its balance sheets appeared in the media, while no one at the Central Bank could find them. Figures that moved and that the shareholders did not know, but the attacks continued.
Was the intention to attack Sinan Idrizi? No one believes this. He is a minority in the company, someone else is the main shareholder and that is Turkish Airlines.
It looks like a premeditated murder that has remained in the attempt, at least until now. Because the passion to execute it does not stop. "Air Albania" was promised 7 planes, it never had that many. Moreover, the main shareholder, "Turkish Airlines", did not provide the funds, except for the 2 planes that are now gone.
How could "Air Albania" excel without the funding and support of "Turkish Airlines", without a full fleet to make it competitive, in the face of the alleged "low cost" airlines flying from Rinas?
It could be all of them together, it could be a few, but Turkish Airlines so far seems to be the main factor in the desire to "kill" Air Albania, from the fact that it did not finance properly, from the fact that it never delivered the entire fleet, from the fact that its appointed CEO, Sinan Dilek, signed and accepted signed invoices with inflated costs, increasing the company's debt, this was also proven in the High Court in Albania. From the fact that Air Albania does not have its balance sheets, but they are made public. From the fact that there are trials and processes directly related to Turkish Airlines, for which Air Albania is accused.
This company should be a source of pride for Albanians, it carries their flag and takes it to every European air gateway, and why not beyond. Albanian shareholders should take control of the fate of this company because it is not just one of the many airlines that is losing tens or hundreds of millions, it is neither the first nor the last to have financial difficulties, to cancel a trip or to have a trip delayed. Everything can be overcome when there is will and not a knife in the back.
The Albanian and Turkish governments must also intervene here so that the company "Air Albania", which has the Albanian flag on its tail and "AIR ALBANIA" on its body, can fly freely, proudly and competitively in the market. And not create such pitfalls to "kill" it in a trap./CNA
