Direct flight to connect Kharkiv city and Albania

As part of the expansion of tourism cooperation between Kharkiv region and Albania, direct flights are expected to be launched between Kharkiv and Tirana.

This issue was discussed during a meeting between Head of the Kharkiv Regional State Administration Yuliya Svitlychna and Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Albanian Republic to Ukraine Shpresa Kureta. The meeting was dedicated to the 25th anniversary of establishing diplomatic relations between Ukraine and the Republic of Albania, an Ukrinform correspondent reported.

“We are getting closer not only in business relations but also in tourism. For Ukrainians, Albania has become one of the popular tourism destinations. There are direct flights from Kyiv to Tirana. It would be important and very good to open a direct flight from Kharkiv to Albania,” the ambassador said.

Svitlychna assured that the Kharkiv Regional State Administration would provide all the necessary support for the launch of direct flights between Kharkiv and Tirana, as well as the opening of the Center for Albanian Language Learning at one of Kharkiv universities.

According to Svitlychna, Kharkiv has been working closely with Albania for more than a year.

Honorary Consul of the Republic of Albania in the city of Kharkiv Shahin Omarov also took part in the meeting.

Albania’s ambassador and business delegation also met with the leadership of Kharkiv City Council, where they talked about further cooperation between the parties. A partnership agreement has been already signed between the Polytechnic University of Tirana and the Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics.
