TIA Tirana

How deep the TIA board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from TIA. This reads the same 105 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound, what the clock here does to a Gulf working day and which of the destinations shut at night, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 60of the 105 destinations are flown by one airline
• 53destinations run less than once a day
• 9destinations have four or more departures a day
• 47.6%of the destinations name Wizz Air Malta, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at TIA

42 airlines appear on the TIA board and they do not hold it evenly. Wizz Air Malta is on 50 of the 105 destinations, 47.6 per cent of them, and on 18 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 94.4 of the 152.4 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is Ryanair on 38 destinations. 26 of the 42 airlines at TIA appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

An airport held this tightly is quick to book and slow to recover: with 50 of the 105 destinations on one airline, the second aircraft on a TIA sector is usually another Wizz Air Malta aircraft, and when there is not one the desk is looking at another airport rather than another airline. That is why the alternate airports listed above matter more at TIA than the destination count does.

How much of the TIA board is daily

Of the 105 destinations, 52 are flown at least once a day and 53 are not, 4 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the TIA board is flown 6 times a week.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: TIA to Toronto (YYZ) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 25 of the 152.4 departures a day, 16.4 per cent of the whole board. With 50.5 per cent of the 105 destinations running less than daily, this is a board that rewards booking the outbound before the collection is confirmed rather than after.

The ten destinations out of TIA where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable. 37 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from TIA

The desk holds the return direction for 78 of the 105 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On six of them the return into TIA runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gaps are Riyadh (RUH) at 0.57 out a day against 0.14 back, Yerevan (EVN) at 0.29 out a day against 0.14 back and Copenhagen (CPH) at 0.57 out a day against 0.29 back.

It runs the other way as well: Tel Aviv Yafo (TLV) files 2.9 a day back into TIA against 1.2 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at TIA

TIA keeps Europe/Tirane time, two hours behind Dubai in summer and three hours behind in winter, because the clock here moves and the Gulf clock does not.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 07:00 at TIA, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for seven hours. That is wide enough to settle a customs question at TIA and still make a departure the same day.

The night at TIA

16 of the destinations from here carry a documented night restriction of their own, which is a departure time question at this end rather than an arrival problem at the other.

Into Vienna (VIE) the door shuts at 23:30 local, so the last departure from TIA that lands inside it leaves around 21:51, on a modelled block of 1h 39m. Into Frankfurt-am-Main (FRA) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from TIA that lands inside it leaves around 20:51, on a modelled block of 2h 09m. Into Munich (MUC) the door shuts at 22:00 local, so the last departure from TIA that lands inside it leaves around 20:14, on a modelled block of 1h 46m. Those three departure times out of TIA are worked backwards from the published window with the block time model this site uses everywhere, 720 to 880 km an hour by sector length with thirty minutes on the ground, so they are arithmetic rather than a timetable and the desk checks the published departure before it promises the landing.

Where TIA turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the Albania country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

The site publishes 17 airport pair pages that start or end at TIA, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Tirana to Bergamo (BGY), Tirana to Bologna (BLQ) and Tirana to London (LTN).

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with TIA already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 105 destinations above.
