Any new info when VLORA airport opens.
I see a promotional offer from Prague from Čedok but I haven't seen anything that it is already in operation.
We bought. I'm curious too, the CK didn't have any information about the airport. We're flying there from Ostrava, so we'll see.
The airport was built in the protected area of the Vjosa Delta, which led to the departure of the original EU partners of the project. It currently has funding suspended due to an investigation into widespread corruption. It is not yet even structurally complete, let alone properly certified.
