Remember Air Albania’s ambitious debut with an everyday keepsake inspired by its aviation story. Established in 2018, the airline connected Tirana and Istanbul on its inaugural flight and represented a renewed effort to establish an Albanian flag carrier. Its partnership brought together Turkish aviation expertise and Albanian stakeholders, while later network contraction and a 2025 licence suspension brought a period of uncertainty. This Metal Bottle Opener celebrates the airline’s distinctive place in regional travel history and its brief time in the skies.
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.
