AÉROPORT INTERNATIONAL ZAYED DE KUKËS
Airport and passenger services
Read moreKukës Zayed International Airport (Aeroporti Ndërkombëtar i Kukësit Zayed), also known as "Northern Wings" (Flatrat e Veriut), has been in operation since 2022. Mainly used by the Albanian diaspora, it is linked to Italy, but Wizz Air has suspended the service to Basel-Mulhouse. Inaugurated in 2018, it remained inactive for four years due to competition from Tirana and Pristina (Kosovo) airports. It was financed by the United Arab Emirates and named in honor of former Emirati president Zayed ben Sultan Al Nahyane (1918-2004).
