About Tirana International Airport Mother Teresa
Overview
Tirana International Airport Mother Teresa serves as the primary international gateway for Albania, located in Rinas, approximately 17 kilometers northwest of Tirana. The airport plays a critical role in Albania's air transportation infrastructure, handling both commercial passenger and cargo operations with its substantial 9,009-foot runway.
Flying Conditions
Albania's geographic position results in variable weather conditions that pilots must carefully monitor. The airport's relatively low elevation of 126 feet MSL suggests minimal altitude-related performance considerations, but seasonal wind patterns can significantly impact approach and departure strategies.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (17/35) is constructed with asphalt, providing a robust surface for heavy aircraft operations. Its geographic coordinates at 41.414700, 19.720600 place the airport in a transitional zone between coastal and mountainous terrain, which can generate complex localized meteorological conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 17/35's substantial length of 9,009 feet accommodates a wide range of aircraft types and provides significant operational flexibility. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind components due to the runway's orientation and the surrounding topographical influences, requiring careful wind assessment during approach and landing phases.
