The second international airport in Kukes 'North Wings' will be totally functional on July 15. Prime Minister, Edi Rama, informed on Friday that it was not just for the electoral campaign as it will be functional and with really low costs starting from July 15.

The Kukes airport, which involved a total investment of $28.7m (€24m), is constructed on a former refugee campsite that is 90 miles north-east of Albania’s capital.

It used to be the shelter site for the many Albanian refugees of the Kosovo War in 1999.

It has a single runway and three parking spots for aircraft. According to Premier, prices of the tickets will be as low as EUR 12 from Kukesi to Zyrih and Istanbul and from Zyrih to Kukes EUR 28. 66 and from Istanbul to Kukes EUR 23.
