A Glimpse into History

Tirana International Airport Nënë Tereza, named after Mother Teresa, Albania’s beloved Nobel Prize-winning humanitarian, has a history as captivating as the nation it serves. Originally established in 1957, the airport has undergone significant transformations over the decades. From its humble beginnings as a small airfield, it has evolved into a modern aviation hub, facilitating both domestic and international travel.

During the communist era, the airport served primarily as a military base, with limited civilian operations. However, following the collapse of communism in the early 1990s, Albania embraced democracy and embarked on a journey of economic and infrastructural development. Tirana Airport underwent substantial renovations and expansions to meet the growing demands of the burgeoning tourism industry and the increasing number of business travelers.
