For the first time, Ural Airlines has launched a direct flight from Yekaterinburg to the capital of Albania - Tirana. The first flight U6-7213 departed from Koltsovo airport today, July 28, strictly on schedule. In honor of the opening of the flight, Ural passengers were presented with memorable gifts, and the Albanian airport greeted the plane with a water arch.

Yekaterinburg became the third Russian city from where Ural Airlines launched a flight program to Albania this summer. Note that planes have never flown from Yekaterinburg to Tirana before.

The flight Yekaterinburg - Tirana - Yekaterinburg is operated once a week on Wednesdays. Travel time is just over five hours. This year, the holiday season in Albania will not be long: flights are scheduled until September 15th.

The rules for entering Albania for Russians are as simple and attractive as possible: no visas, no PCR tests, no certificates of vaccination or previous illness are needed.
