There is a hive of activity there now with Wizz and Ryanair expanding rapidly to points across the UK and EU, with Wizzair also launching Tirana - Liverpool (source SeanM1997 on Twitter). Has there been a legislative change to spar this very sharp increase in capacity to Tirana? I am not up to date. Wizz have launched 10 routes with Ryanair launching 17 all in short order.
I agree Tirana looks an interesting destination. The Balkans, and Albania specifically have recently had quite a bit of favourable coverage in the travel pages of the UK press as a beautiful unspoilt destination that presents good value for money.
