Wizz Air is to introduce three-times-weekly flights from Liverpool to Albania this winter.
Services from Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LJLA) to Albanian capital Tirana will run on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from December 10.
The new route, Wizz’s third at the airport this year and 14th in total from LJLA, will make Liverpool the only UK airport outside of London to serve Tirana.
Paul Winfield, LJLA’s director of aviation development, said: “Throughout the pandemic we have worked closely with Wizz Air who have continued to explore new opportunities for services all across Europe and we are therefore delighted that Liverpool continues to be an important part of their future plans with further expansion of their popular services from here.
“As we continue to recover from the pandemic, we are pleased to be able to create more opportunities for passengers from across the north west and north Wales to travel to a growing number of European destinations with the added convenience of flying direct from Liverpool.”
