Vlora airport suspended! COVID-19 / The suspension comes after 2 delays in bidding

The situation created by the proliferation of the new coronavirus seems to have also influenced the international competition for the construction of the Vlora airport. After 2 previous postponements, the race has now been suspended, while it is unknown when it will reopen to interested companies.

As the situation created by CODIV-19 does not have a prediction of when it may end, it seems that the Ministry has decided to suspend the procedure. Practically, this will also bring about a change in direction of the commencement of works that the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy intended to be on 31 May.

Vlora Airport is one of the most important infrastructure projects, through which the government aims to bring down the monopoly of Rinas Airport, bringing a reduction in ticket prices. Construction is envisaged to be carried out through a public-private partnership, where the winning company will first have to make the investment, while having the right to operate for a period of 35 years.
