As you know, Albania is one of the favorite countries of many travelers. Despite the well-developed transport structure , there is only one international airport in the Republic. Europeans can use it to get to Albania without a transfer, but tourists from other countries will have to experience small difficulties in order to get into the state. At the moment, there are five airports in Albania, but only one of them is functioning. The Government of the Republic plans to "tidy up" and conclude contracts with many international airlines, but so far this remains only in the plans. We will share with you all possible information about the main and only international airport in Albania.
Mother Teresa Airport
The Mother Teresa Airport is the only modern international airport in Albania. It is located 17 km from Tirana , near the town of Rinas. Its main airlines are connected to international European cities, therefore, in principle, it is not difficult to get here.
The airport was built in 2007 and is equipped with the necessary modern technology. Its infrastructure is also impressive: free internet, shops, cafes and restaurants, lounges and children's rooms, ATMs and exchange offices - all this you will easily find on the airport. Near the entrance to the building there is a free parking and a bus station, where you will always be waiting for a bus with a course on Tirana and popular resorts .
Albania cooperates with 23 airlines, whose planes land at the Teresa airport every day. The basic, popular airlines were:
- Tafa Air;
- Albanian Airlines;
- Turkish Airlines;
- Malev;
- Alitalia;
- Austrian.
Baggage registration and customs control at Albania airport starts 2 hours and 40 minutes before departure. For a problem-free registration, you will need to show your passport and ticket. If you have an electronic order or a ticket reservation, take only your passport with you.
Upon arrival in the country you will need to show a visa , an international passport and pay an airfield fee (10 euros). The cost of the ticket to Albania depends on the place of your landing. The cheapest flight will cost you $ 300 from Budapest, and from Athens - more than a thousand.

How do I get from the airport to Tirana?
Prior to the capital of Albania from the international airport, you will be taken only by taxi or bus. This must be taken care of in advance. If you decide to take a taxi, then we recommend choosing licensed licensed companies (for example ATEX) - so you will pay for the journey in general 20 euros.
