Soon in Priština?
Last week, officials from Lufthansa, one of Europe’s largest airlines, visited Priština as the airline is interested in commencing flights to the airport from several German cities in 2011, the “Telegrafi” portal reports. The Managing Director of Priština Airport, Agron Mustafa said, “We had an important meeting with high ranking officials from Lufthansa which is interested in commencing flights to and from Priština. The interest on Lufthansa’s behalf displays the increasing attractiveness of our airport”. The German national carrier is interested in commencing flights to Priština early next year. Currently, Lufthansa does not operate flights to the airport.

Priština Airport is served by several large European carriers. Presently, Air Berlin offers flights to five German cities: Hannover, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg and Munich. Recently, the low cost easyJet commenced flights to the city. However, planed flights from Tirana to Priština, which were to be operated by Albanian Airlines from July 1, did not commence. The route is served by Belle Air.

In the first six months of 2010, Priština Airport registered a 9% passenger increase compared to the same period last year.
