The New York-based Scanderbeg Air Corporation said Monday it will start direct flights between New York and Albania this month. A 214-seat Boeing 767-200ER will be used for the eight-and-a-half hour service from JFK Airport to the capital city of Tirana, starting June 14, the airline's executive director Petrit Ujkaj said. The company will also start flights between New York and Pristina, Kosovo, June 16. The carrier is targeting the Albanian Diaspora in the United States, and offering one-way fares starting at euro250 ($355). "The alternative to high fares and lengthy travel times is at the top of the priority list aimed at growing the market," Ujkaj said. www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D98I02980.htm

They were selling $1300 tickets for the last few weeks. I'm pretty sure you can't find that price if you were to call tomorrow.

They had direct flights a few years ago and I believed they stopped last year for some reason. Glad to see them back up again, hopefully, they get some via Shkup as well lol.
