Kukes Airport: Albcontrol launches bid for the study of navigational infrastructure
Albcontrol, the company which manages and controls the Albanian airspace, has opened a bid for the study of Kukes Airport navigational infrastructure.
The required service has a limit fund of ALL 10.8 million, while it comes shortly after an announcement made by Prime Minister Edi Rama on the emergence of a serious investor for this airport.
The company that will win the bid will have to carry out a general feasibility assessment regarding the operations of the project itself, particularly including risk assessment as opposed to providing the required level of air traffic security.
This assessment will serve as a basis for a future project development and is considered by Albcontrol of great importance.
The winning company is also expected to make a recommendation on appropriate approach and take-off procedures as well as the type of operations at the aerodrome, including the types of aircraft that will land and take off as well as a possible runway extension if necessary.
Kukes Airport is expected to become the second operational civilian airport in Albania.
Its construction began in May 2002, with funds from the United Arab Emirates, and was handed over to the Albanian authorities in 2006, but since that time, no flights have been taken from this airport.
Until 2 years ago, the barrier was precisely the concession agreement of Rinas Airport, which provided the latter with exclusivity of the flights bound to Albania.
But this has now changed, and this obstacle for flights from Kukes has been removed.
This period is accompanied by frequent official statements of interest from different airlines, but to date nothing has been realized.
