Product Details & Size Guide
Celebrate the story of Air Albania, the airline established in 2018 to renew the country’s flag-carrier ambitions. Its first flight took off from Tirana for Istanbul on 14 September that year, marking the start of a new chapter in Albanian aviation. Later changes brought a narrower network and an indefinite licence suspension in December 2025. This shirt offers aviation enthusiasts a wearable connection to that short, distinctive history and the regional journeys that defined it.
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.
