Over the past 4 decades, Ryanair has revolutionized air travel across Europe by combining low fares and punctual flights, as well as new Boeing 737 aircraft offering excellent customer service. Passenger traffic and Albanian tourism have been restrained during this time by the existing airline companies that offer tickets at high prices, which have failed to increase tourism and traffic throughout the year. Ryanair is determined to end the oligopoly.
With prices starting from just €15 (one-way), Ryanair's 17 new destinations in Tirana this winter enable frequent flights including: 2 flights a day to London and Milan, as well as daily flights to Bologna, Brussels , Catania, Pisa, Rome and Venice. Ryanair will welcome thousands of visitors to Albania for the first time this winter.

Michael O'Leary, CEO of Ryanair visited Tirana today with his sales team and operational team to promote the start of Ryanair flights to/from Tirana on Tuesday 31 October. To celebrate these record bookings, Ryanair has launched a 3-day promotional campaign on all 17 new destinations to/from Tirana, with 50,000 seats on sale starting at €14.99, which are available from November 2023 until March 2024 (although these seats must be booked by 28 October directly on the Ryanair.com website).
In Tirana, Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary said: " Next week, on Tuesday 31 October, the low-cost revolution comes to Albania with Ryanair. We will launch 17 new destinations to/from Tirana, where already more than 70% of the offered seats have been sold for the first month of operations. Ryanair's high winter season offer in Tirana with 17 destinations, and over 200 weekly frequencies shows the tremendous demand that exists for travel at really good prices low for the arrival of tourists to Albania as well as for Albanian citizens as well. As the No. 1 airline in Europe, Ryanair believes that it can deliver exceptional and sustainable growth in traffic and tourism, not only this winter, but for many years to come. next in Albania.
For a long time, the addition of new destinations and traffic to Albania has been hindered by high-cost airlines such as Lufthansa, Air France, BA and Wizz. From next Tuesday, October 31, this era of high prices ends. Ryanair's low fares are coming to Tirana. Thousands of visitors are coming to Tirana and we look forward to serving thousands of Albanian citizens to/from Europe to visit their friends and relatives.
Ryanair is the only major airline in Europe that has recovered to 130% of its traffic compared to the pre-Covid period. This winter we hope to receive 57 new aircraft from Boeing as part of our post-Covid growth and recovery plan. We are proud to open 17 new destinations to Tirana next week and are delighted by the flow of advance bookings and the demand that exists in Albania and across Europe for low-cost Ryanair flights to/from Tirana. Ryanair plans to increase its fleet to 800 aircraft, and its traffic to 300 million passengers over the next decade, and we believe that Albania will be a key market that will grow with Ryanair's low fares.
