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 (8(th)
Jun) announced 200 weekly flights and 17 new routes to/from Albania
as part of its Winter '23 schedule. Albania will become the 37(th)
country within Ryanair's network, and 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.
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 EUR29.99
one way for travel from Oct'23 until Mar'24, which must be booked
by 11(th) 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 EUR29.99 one way
for travel from Oct'23 until Mar'24, which must be booked by 11(th)

extend my sincere gratitude to Ryanair for their remarkable trust
in the potential of the Albanian market.
