Tirana International Airport will carry out an important phase of runway and supporting infrastructure works during the month of November, as part of Kastrati Group’s ongoing investment programme focused on enhancing safety, operational efficiency and airport infrastructure standards.

The works will take place between 9 and 26 November, with planned night-time airport closures on selected dates during this period. The schedule has been designed to minimise the impact on operations while ensuring sufficient time for the required technical interventions to be completed safely and in accordance with applicable standards.

These interventions are part of the preparations for the 2027 season and are designed to respond to the continued growth in air traffic, passenger volumes and increasing market demand. The investments aim to strengthen Tirana International Airport’s capacity and ensure a more modern, resilient infrastructure that is prepared to meet future operational needs. The investments also support the preparation of airport infrastructure for major international events expected to be hosted by Albania, including the NATO Summit.

The project will include the full rehabilitation of a significant section of the runway pavement, the installation of a new LED-based airfield lighting system, improvements to the taxiways, as well as other interventions in the terminal.

Due to the planned closures between 9 and 26 November, some flights may be subject to changes in departure or arrival times. Passengers with bookings during this period are strongly advised to remain attentive to all notifications from their airline and to regularly check the messages and email address used during the booking process.

In the event of a flight schedule change, the relevant airline will inform passengers through the contact details provided at the time of booking. Passengers are therefore advised to verify the latest information regarding their flight before travelling to the airport.

Tirana International Airport remains in close coordination with airlines and operational partners in order to minimise the impact of the works and ensure a safe, coordinated and efficient process throughout the entire period of intervention.
