Wear a reminder of Air Albania’s brief, distinctive role in Albanian aviation with a quarter-zip sweatshirt inspired by its launch and early route history. Founded in 2018 through a partnership involving Turkish Airlines and Albanian stakeholders, the carrier began flights between Tirana and Istanbul. Its network later contracted, and the airline’s operating licence was suspended indefinitely in December 2025. For collectors and aviation enthusiasts, this design connects a national airline ambition with a history shaped by change.
Air Albania was established on 16 May 2018 as a public–private partnership between Turkish Airlines, Albania’s state-owned Albcontrol and private firm MDN Investment. The Government of Albania pursued a successor to Albanian Airlines after that carrier collapsed in 2011. Plans were announced by Prime Minister Edi Rama on 30 March 2017, with the partnership confirmed on 8 May and the Air Albania name revealed on 21 November that year. Turkish Airlines held a 49% stake, Albcontrol 10% and MDN Investment 41%. Based at Tirana International Airport Nënë Tereza in Tirana, the airline began service on 14 September 2018 with an inaugural Tirana–Istanbul flight using an Airbus A319. In May 2020 it received a European Union Aviation Safety Agency Third Country Operator certificate, permitting service between Albania and EU member states. Its network later contracted, with operations largely centered on Tirana–Istanbul by 2025. Turkish Airlines announced its withdrawal in November 2025. In December, Albania’s civil aviation authority suspended the airline’s operating licence indefinitely, and it had not resumed flights by the end of that month.
