How to travel around Albania by air

What to expect when flying between cities or connecting after an international arrival.

Flying between cities in Albania

  • Check domestic flight details before booking
    This page does not currently list a verified, publicly bookable domestic passenger timetable. That reflects the information verified for this page; it does not confirm that private, charter, humanitarian, sightseeing or other special flights are unavailable. Before booking, confirm the airport pair, operating date, passenger eligibility and ticket availability with the operator.

Arriving from another country

  • Check Albania entry requirements by nationality
    Check Albania’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs visa-regime table for your nationality and purpose of travel, then follow the applicable e-Visa instructions. Border checks may require supporting documents as applicable. A visa does not guarantee admission to Albania.

Check the carrier’s operating status before booking

The Albanian CAA has published a decision revoking Air Albania’s operating licence. Confirm the actual current carrier and flight; an airline name retained in an airport or historical directory is not proof of ongoing operation.
