'''Tirana International Airport Nënë Tereza''' ({{lang-sq|Aeroporti Ndërkombëtar i Tiranës Nënë Tereza}}, {{Airport codes|TIA|LATI|p=n}}) is [[Albania]]'s only [[international airport]]. It is commonly known as ''Rinas International Airport'', as it is located {{convert|6|NM|abbr=on|lk=in}} northwest<ref name="AIP">{{cite web|url=http://www.ead.eurocontrol.int/publicuser/protect/pu/main.jsp|title=EAD Basic - Error Page|publisher=|accessdate=7 June 2015}}</ref> of [[Tirana]], in the village of [[Rinas]]. In 2001, the airport was named after [[Mother Teresa]]. It serves as a focus city for [[Alitalia]], [[Blue Panorama Airlines]] and [[Adria Airways]].
'''Tirana International Airport Nënë Tereza''' ({{langx|sq|Aeroporti Ndërkombëtar i Tiranës Nënë Tereza}}, {{Airport codes|TIA|LATI|p=n}}), often referred to as the '''Rinas International Airport''', is one of the two main [[international airports]] of the [[Republic of Albania]]. It serves the city of [[Tirana]], its metropolitan area, and surrounding region in the county of [[Tirana County|Tirana]]. The airport is named in honor of the [[Albanians in the Republic of Macedonia|Albanian]] [[Roman Catholic]] nun and missionary, [[Mother Teresa]] (1910–1997). It is located {{convert|6|NM|lk=in|abbr=off}} northwest of Tirana, in the municipality of [[Krujë]], [[Durrës County]].<ref name="The_World">{{Cite book |last=Wragg |first=David |title=The World's Top 500 Airports |date=November 2009 |publisher=Haynes Holdings |isbn=978-184425-632-7 |edition=2 |location=Somerset, UK |page=13}}</ref><ref name="tirana-airport.com">{{Cite web |title=Facts and Figures about Tirana International Airport Nënë Tereza |url=https://www.tirana-airport.com/l/7/53/company-information/facts-figures/ |website=www.tirana-airport.com}}</ref>


The airport serves as the [[Airline hub|main hub]] for the [[Wizz Air]] and country's flag carrier [[Air Albania]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=1 June 2020 |title=Wizz Air announces 55 new routes and three new bases from this summer |url=https://www.anna.aero/2020/06/01/wizz-air-announces-55-new-routes-and-three-new-bases-from-this-summer/ |website=anna.aero}}</ref> It is the largest airport in Albania and is one of the busiest [[Balkans|Balkan]] airports after reaching 10 million passengers in 2024.<ref>{{Cite web |date=3 January 2024 |title=tirana-airport.com/ en - Tirana International Airport (TIA) Reports Record-Breaking 7.25 Million Passengers in 2023 |url=https://www.tirana-airport.com/en/article/997/Tirana-International-Airport-(TIA)-Reports-Record-Breaking-7.25-Million-Passengers-in-2023}}</ref> On 9 December 2024, the airport celebrated a major milestone by surpassing 10 million passengers.
==History==
===Early years===
Tirana International Airport Nënë Tereza was constructed in a period of two years, from 1955 to 1957. However, Tirana had commercial airline services before. As early as 1938, Yugoslav carrier [[Aeroput]] introduced regular commercial flghts linking Tirana with [[Belgrade]] with a landing in [[Dubrovnik]].<ref>[http://www.europeanairlines.no/drustvo-za-vazdusni-saobracaj-a-d-aeroput-1927-1948/ Drustvo za Vazdusni Saobracaj A D – Aeroput (1927–1948)] at european airlnes.no</ref> With the [[fall of communism in Albania]] in 1991, and subsequent liberalization of travel restrictions abroad for [[Albanians]], the number of airlines operating at the airport increased.


== History ==
===Development since the 2000s===
Its reconstruction, started in 2005 and terminated in 2008, increased the processing capacity of the airport considerably, resulting in its number of passengers per year doubling from 2005 to 2010, when it reached 1.5M. The airport currently has the capacity to process 1.8M passengers per year. It is thought that such capacity will suffice to handle the expected increase given the [[Albanian passport#Biometric passport|visa liberalization]] for the citizens of Albania travelling to the [[Schengen Area]], which started at the end of 2010.<ref name="Koha e Re">{{cite news | last=Koha e Re | first= | url=http://kohaere.eu/mobile/http://kohaere.eu/index.php/lajme/shqiperi/8909.html | title= Aeroporti "Nënë Tereza" gati të presë 1.8 milionë pasagjerë| publisher=Koha e Re | date= 11 November 2010 }}</ref>

[[File:Interior_of_airport_terminal_2014-08-17_22-04.jpg|thumb|Interior of Tirana Airport Terminal]]
The air traffic equipment and facilities of the airport have been heavily modernised following investments by Tirana International Airport SHPK, a consortium led by [[Hochtief AirPort]]. Hochtief assumed management of the airport on 23 April 2005, for a 20-year concession period.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tirana-airport.com/?RoseToken=169180229114147161160144183148154169229193083154156152160214184090168180231crc339|title=Tirana International Airport|publisher=|accessdate=7 June 2015}}</ref>


The airport was constructed from 1955 to 1957. [[Tirana]] had commercial airline services before. Domestic aviation started in 1926 when German airline Adria-Aero-Lloyd obtained a monopoly for domestic air routes in the country and began servicing Tirana, [[Shkodër]], [[Korçë]] and [[Vlorë]]. These operations proved unprofitable, and the airline sold its rights to Italian company [[Ala Littoria]] which opened regular routes in 1935 between Tirana to Shkodër, Kukës, Peshkopia, Kuçova, Vlorë, and Gjirokastër.<ref name="Elsie">{{Cite book |last=Elsie |first=Robert |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/659564122 |title=Historical dictionary of Albania |date=2010 |publisher=Scarecrow Press |isbn=978-0-8108-7380-3 |edition=2 |location=Lanham |oclc=659564122}}</ref> In 1938, the Yugoslav carrier [[Aeroput]] introduced regular commercial flights linking Tirana with [[Belgrade]], Serbia, with a landing in [[Dubrovnik]], Croatia.<ref>{{Cite web |date=17 June 2010 |title=DRUSTVO ZA VAZDUSNI SAOBRACAJ A D – AEROPUT (1927-1948) |url=http://www.europeanairlines.no/drustvo-za-vazdusni-saobracaj-a-d-aeroput-1927-1948/ |access-date=17 June 2010 |website=europeanairlines.no |language=en |quote=In addition, a new air service (No.2008) to the Kingdom of Yugoslavia's small narbour (sic, probably neighbor), Albania, was opened.

The concession included the construction of a completely new passenger terminal and various infrastructure improvements, among them the construction of a new access road, new parking lots, and a bridge over the old airport access road.<ref name = tirana-airport>{{cite web|url=http://www.tirana-airport.com/?RoseToken=169180229114147161160144183148154169229193083156156151160214184090168180231crc340|title=Tirana International Airport|publisher=|accessdate=7 June 2015}}</ref> The expansion resulted in an increased number of passengers per annum, estimated at 1.5M passengers for 2009.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tirana-airport.com/?RoseToken=160172155187150151177202197084168180238114147166153090150154149152154155089155156154160214184090168180231crc471|title=Tirana International Airport|publisher=|accessdate=7 June 2015}}</ref><ref>[http://www.hochtief-concessions.com/concessions_en/350.jhtml Tirana International Airport, Albania] – HOCHTIEF.</ref> The number of passengers effectively increased to more than 1.5M in 2010.<ref name="Facts and Figures">{{cite web|url=http://www.tirana-airport.com/?RoseToken=169180229114147161160144183148154169229193083162156154160214184090168180231crc340|title=Facts and Figures about Tirana International Airport Nënë Tereza|publisher=}}</ref>


After the Second World War and installation of an isolationist [[Communism|communist]] regime in Albania, air transportation was rare. From 1944 to 1948, there was a service to Belgrade, but after the break of relations with Yugoslavia, until 1953, there was only a twice-a-month connection to Budapest operated by Soviet-Hungarian company Maszovlet.<ref name="Elsie" /> From 1953 to 1955, there was no air service, until February 1955 when a route to Moscow was inaugurated, followed thereafter to other Eastern-European capitals. In the 1970s, Tirana was one of the first European cities to be served by China's [[CAAC Airlines]], with a weekly flight to Beijing via Bucharest and Tehran. In the late 1980s, there were six airlines flying to Tirana, with a total of nine round-trips per week.<ref name="Elsie" />
==Airlines and destinations==

===Passenger===
With the [[fall of communism in Albania|collapse of communism]] in Albania in 1991 and subsequent liberalisation of travel restrictions abroad for Albanians, the number of airlines operating at the airport increased rapidly. In 1999, there were 8,249 flights and 356,823 passengers, seven times more than in 1991.<ref name="Elsie" />

=== Contemporary ===
The air traffic equipment and facilities of the airport have been heavily modernised, following investments by Tirana International Airport SHPK, a consortium led by [[Hochtief AirPort]].

The airport announced over 7.2 million passengers for 2023, exceeding their projections predictions for that year. This statistics marks a substantial increase of 40% compared to the previous year (2022) and 117% compared to the year 2019, solidifying TIA's position as a key player in the regional aviation industry.

Tirana International Airport Nënë Tereza (Albanian: Aeroporti Ndërkombëtar i Tiranës Nënë Tereza, IATA: TIA, ICAO: LATI), often referred to as the Rinas International Airport, is one of the two main international airports of the Republic of Albania. It serves the city of Tirana, its metropolitan area, and surrounding region in the county of Tirana. The airport is named in honor of the Albanian Roman Catholic nun and missionary, Mother Teresa (1910–1997). It is located 6 nautical miles (11 kilometres; 6.9 miles) northwest of Tirana, in the municipality of Krujë, Durrës County.[5][6]

The airport serves as the main hub for the Wizz Air and country's flag carrier Air Albania.[7] It is the largest airport in Albania and is one of the busiest Balkan airports after reaching 10 million passengers in 2024.[8] On 9 December 2024, the airport celebrated a major milestone by surpassing 10 million passengers.

History

[edit]

Early development

[edit]

The airport was constructed from 1955 to 1957. Tirana had commercial airline services before. Domestic aviation started in 1926 when German airline Adria-Aero-Lloyd obtained a monopoly for domestic air routes in the country and began servicing Tirana, Shkodër, Korçë and Vlorë. These operations proved unprofitable, and the airline sold its rights to Italian company Ala Littoria which opened regular routes in 1935 between Tirana to Shkodër, Kukës, Peshkopia, Kuçova, Vlorë, and Gjirokastër.[9] In 1938, the Yugoslav carrier Aeroput introduced regular commercial flights linking Tirana with Belgrade, Serbia, with a landing in Dubrovnik, Croatia.[10]

After the Second World War and installation of an isolationist communist regime in Albania, air transportation was rare. From 1944 to 1948, there was a service to Belgrade, but after the break of relations with Yugoslavia, until 1953, there was only a twice-a-month connection to Budapest operated by Soviet-Hungarian company Maszovlet.[9] From 1953 to 1955, there was no air service, until February 1955 when a route to Moscow was inaugurated, followed thereafter to other Eastern-European capitals. In the 1970s, Tirana was one of the first European cities to be served by China's CAAC Airlines, with a weekly flight to Beijing via Bucharest and Tehran. In the late 1980s, there were six airlines flying to Tirana, with a total of nine round-trips per week.[9]

With the collapse of communism in Albania in 1991 and subsequent liberalisation of travel restrictions abroad for Albanians, the number of airlines operating at the airport increased rapidly. In 1999, there were 8,249 flights and 356,823 passengers, seven times more than in 1991.[9]

Contemporary

[edit]

The air traffic equipment and facilities of the airport have been heavily modernised, following investments by Tirana International Airport SHPK, a consortium led by Hochtief AirPort. Hochtief assumed management of the airport on 23 April 2005, for a 20-year concession period.[11]

The concession included the construction of a completely new passenger terminal and various infrastructure improvements, among them the construction of a new access road, new parking lots, and a bridge over the old airport access road.[12] The expansion resulted in an increased number of passengers per annum, estimated at 1.5 million passengers for 2009.[13][14] The number of passengers effectively increased to more than 1.5 million in 2010.[15]

The terminal building and its second expansion, the cargo building, its landscaping, and its carpark canopies were designed by Malaysian architect Hin Tan of Hintan.[16]

In December 2016, the airport announced that it served 2 million passengers during 2016, reaching its second milestone.[17]

The airport announced over 7.2 million passengers for 2023, exceeding their projections predictions for that year. This statistics marks a substantial increase of 40% compared to the previous year (2022) and 117% compared to the year 2019, solidifying TIA's position as a key player in the regional aviation industry.

On 9 December 2024, TIA reached a significant milestone, exceeding 10 million passengers.[18][19]

Ownership

[edit]

In 2017, China Everbright Limited became the sole owner of Tirana International Airport Nënë Tereza. After reaching an agreement with the Albanian Government to end its monopoly on international flights from Albania, Hochtief AirPort sold the operation of Tirana International Airport Nënë Tereza to China Everbright Limited,[20] a company specializing in asset management, direct investment, brokerage and investment banking.[21] On 25 December 2020, Kastrati Group bought all the shares of the airport from China Everbright Limited for 71 million euros.[22][23]

The aircraft, with 107 passengers and six crew on board, transmitted two coded hijack signals which were picked up by the Greek air force; the flight was intercepted by military aircraft and landed safely at Brindisi, Italy.
  • 30 June 2016: Three armed and masked people entered the cargo terminal, where they stole a huge amount of money that was to be transported abroad on airplanes. The amount of cash could have been up to 3 million euros. The incident caused national security concerns.[109][110]
  • 9 April 2019: An Austrian Airlines flight headed to Vienna was delayed for 3 hours, following an armed robbery. The aircraft's engines were running, when three men wearing masks and military fatigues stepped up to the fuselage, stealing 6 million euros. One of the robbers was shot dead in an exchange of fire with the police about one kilometre from the airport.[111]
