Sep 13, 2021 (newstodate): Albania's new carrier Air Albania has now taken delivery of its third aircraft - an Airbus A320.
   On July 31, 2018, Air Albania took in its first aircraft, an Airbus A319 aircraft placed with the carrier under a wet-lease contract with Turkish Airlines; on September 22, 2019, this was  followed by one Boeing 737-800, also wet-leased from Turkish Airlines, which is also the case with the third aircraft, the Airbus A320.
   The carrier is thus rather unique in operating three aircraft of different types..
    Air Albania performed its first flight on April 19, 2019, managed as CEO by Sinan Dilekthe, who is remembered in the Nordic aviation circles from his two years as Turkish Airlines General Manager Norway till April 2018.
   Supporting the new national carrier is Turkish Airlines that has been involved in a feasibility study to assess the needs and the markets as well as an initial route structure.
