Prime Minister Edi Rama has highlighted the continued surge in passenger traffic at Tirana International Airport, with more than 1.7 million passengers processed during August alone.

In a social media post, Rama said the airport handled 1.717 million passengers between August 1 and 27, as Albania continues to experience strong demand for air travel.

The airport recorded its busiest day on August 17, when it processed 60,291 passengers and 326 flights within a single day.

“High figures continue at Tirana International Airport, with 1.717 million passengers processed during this month alone, up to August 27,” Rama wrote.

He also pointed to strong traffic figures recorded in July, when Tirana International Airport handled nearly 1.65 million passengers, marking a 28.1% increase compared with the same month last year.

The latest figures underscore the rapid expansion of Albania’s air travel market, as Tirana continues to see significant growth in passenger numbers.

In its April 2026 report on airport traffic, the European aviation organization ranked Tirana once again as the fastest-growing airport on a monthly basis among large airports in Europe, according to Rama.
