The history of civil air transport in Albania dates back to 1924 with the establishment of the Albanian air company named “Adria Aero Lloyd”, while the first flights to Italy started a few years later, when the company was bought by the Italian state and the destinations expanded. Almost 100 later, it is the Albanian airline company Albawings the one meeting the flight needs from Tirana to many destinations in Italy and beyond, easily accessible to all.

Almost a century ago, Albania had a developed domestic air transport. Today, no domestic air transport is available in the country, mainly the road transport. Thanks to short distances and strong connections with the neighbor country, now flights to Italy are considered as flights within the country. Along with the global development during this century and the growth of air transport industry, the flight options are unlimited. For Albanians, as for any citizen of the world, flights are no more a luxury thing, but a lifestyle. Once, it was the Italian company, Ala Littoria, which used to connect Albania with Italy, with expensive plane tickets paid in gold francs. Whereas today, the Albawings airline offers destinations to Italy, and its offers make the flight simple and possible to any traveler profile wanting to go to Italy, with the same ease they travel in their homeland. These opportunities are very valuable solutions to any Albanian citizen living in Italy and travelling to meet their families, as well as to any Italian citizen visiting Albania for business or tourism.

Italy is coming closer day by day with the ongoing expansion of destinations. But, Albawings has also thought about providing direct flights to the United Kingdom. It is a country where many Albanians live and other citizens would like to visit for tourism or other reasons. Starting from 3 June 2022, direct flights Tirana-London-Tirana, will bring the UK closer to Albania, with the option of choosing dates, times and offers provided by Albawings airline.

Many airlines have suffered a crisis in the last two years due to the pandemic. At the same time, the armed conflict in Ukraine and the increase of hydrocarbon prices, significantly affecting the air transport industry, have resulted in increased insecurities for all. Despite the current situation when nothing is predictable, the Albawings airline has decided to grow and serve to its loyal passengers and those who will join it.  Thanks to its persistence and commitment during that time, Albawings has worked hard to grow.

Apart from flights from Tirana to Bari, Perugia, Ancona, Genoa, Pisa, Venice, Verona and Forli, which are available for many years now, starting from May, new destinations to Italy will be available. For those who would like to enjoy Italy with everything it offers, who need to develop professional relationships, to meet relatives or for any other reason, the new destinations open up new opportunities and facilitate any need. Thanks to the new flights to Florence,  starting from 3 May 2022 and to Rimini, starting from 4 June 2022, spring will be colorful and enjoyable to all the interested. At the same time, the flights to Bologna, starting from 3 June, to Bergamo,  starting from 14 June and to Milan, starting from 13 June  2022, will result in a promising summer.

As a company that always puts the passenger first, and with its main objective of adding and improving its services, Albawings is continuously growing.
