ArkeFly, the Dutch leisure airline of TUI Group, has introduced a new service for Albania, with a direct flight between Amsterdam and Tirana International Airport (TIA). The Dutch carrier will operate the service in the summer with a once weekly return flight. The carrier will use a Boeing 737 for the route, which will make a major contribution to tourism in Albania by bringing in more visitors, particularly from the Netherlands.

“We are very happy with the launch of this new direct route between Tirana and Amsterdam. With the new service we are offering a convenient and comfortable connection to our customers. We welcome the new carrier and are proud to offer our top quality services at the Airport in ensuring comfort and a warm welcome to tourists to Albania and to those flying to the Netherlands,” said Mr Rolf Castro-Vasquez, Chief Operations Officer of TIA.

I wish success to all the partners involved and may many other new routes be opened” said Mr Zhiti after the ceremony.
ArkeFly is based in Amsterdam and flies to more than 70 destinations worldwide, including favourite holiday locations around the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, Africa, Asia, and North and South America.
