EUROPE'S LOWEST FARES ARRIVE IN ALBANIA
RYANAIR ANNOUNCES 200 WEEKLY FLIGHTS & 17 NEW ROUTES FOR WINTER
'23
Ryanair, Europe's biggest and lowest fares
airline, today (8th Jun)
announced 200 weekly flights and 17 new routes to/from Albania as
part of its Winter '23 schedule. Albania will become the

inbound tourism markets such as, Belgium, Czech Republic, France,
Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania Sweden and the UK - whilst also
providing competitive fares and increased connectivity for
Albanians who want to visit home or friends and family
abroad.
These
exciting new Winter routes are only the beginning of what Ryanair
can do to support the Albanian Government in delivering
transformational growth within the tourism industry. Countries need
major airlines of scale like Ryanair to deliver capacity growth
-Ryanair has consistently and successfully demonstrated this in
European economies which rely on tourism such as Spain, Italy,
Ireland, Portugal, and Malta.
Ryanair's new Albania Winter '23 schedule will
deliver:
●
17
new routes - to destinations such as Brussels, Dusseldorf, London,
Manchester, Milan, Paris, Prague, Rome and Stockholm
●
200
flights per week
●
An
estimated 700,000 passengers to/from Tirana (>1.5m
p.a.)
●
Over
1,000 local jobs
With its recent record order of 300 new B737-MAX-10s, Ryanair will
grow to c. 800 aircraft by 2033 and is the only major airline which
can deliver long-term meaningful growth in Europe. Ryanair
will begin operations to/from Albania this Winter offering
200 weekly flights, giving European and Albanian holidaymakers
unbeatable choices at the lowest fares in Europe.
To celebrate today's announcement, Ryanair will launch a 3-day seat
sale on its 17 new routes to/from Tirana Airport from €29.99
one way for travel from Oct'23 until Mar'24, which must be booked
by 11th June,
available only at Ryanair.com.
From Tirana, Ryanair DAC's CEO, Eddie Wilson said:
"As Europe's largest airline, we are delighted to announce 200
weekly Ryanair flights to/from Albania starting from Winter '23.
These initial 17 new routes will grant immediate access to key
inbound tourism markets such as, Belgium, Czech Republic, France,
Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania Sweden, and the UK whilst also
providing competitive fares and increased connectivity for
Albanians who want to visit home, or friends and family
abroad.
We have worked closely with our partners here at Tirana Airport to
launch these 17 new routes and hope to strengthen the relationship
over time as we work together to drive inbound tourism and
connectivity to Albania. These routes will allow millions of visitors
from major cities across Europe to experience the wonders of
Albania, from the white sand beaches of the Albania Riviera to
the historical architecture of
Unesco site Gjirokastër, and lively nightlife in
Tirana.
To celebrate today's announcement, we
will launch a 3-day seat sale for these routes to/from Tirana
Airport from €29.99 one way for travel from Oct'23 until
Mar'24, which must be booked by 11th June,
available only at Ryanair.com."
Mr. Musa Kastrati, Senior Vice President of Kastrati Group,
said:
"On behalf of Tirana International Airport, I would like to extend
my sincere gratitude to Ryanair for their remarkable trust in the
potential of the Albanian market.
We welcome Ryanair's decision to operate flights to and from Tirana
International Airport, providing affordable and accessible air
travel options, which will undoubtedly benefit both inbound and
outbound travelers.
I am confident that through the extensive network of Ryanair,

Albania. We look forward to a fruitful partnership with Ryanair, as
we work together to build memorable journeys for passengers
traveling to and from our beautiful nation."
