Albania - Air TransportationAir transportationIn 1977 Albania's government signed an agreement with Greece, opening the country's first air links with noncommunist Europe. By 1991 Tiran� had air links with many major European cities, including Paris, Rome, Zurich, Vienna, and Budapest. Tiran� was served by a small airport located twenty-eight kilometers from the capital at the village of Rinas. Albania had no regular domestic air service. A Franco-Albanian joint venture launched Albania's first private airline, Ada Air, in 1991. The company offered flights in a thirty-six-passenger airplane four days each week between Tiran� and Bari, Italy, and a charter service for domestic and international destinations. |
