Tirana International Airport Nënë Tereza (IATA: TIA) sits 17 km north of the Albanian capital in the Rinas plain, at an elevation of 38 metres above sea level. Named after Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mother Teresa — born to an Albanian family in Skopje in 1910 — the airport serves as Albania's primary international gateway, handling over 4 million passengers annually and connecting Tirana to more than 100 destinations across Europe, the Middle East, and North America. A major terminal expansion completed in 2022–2023 added a new wing and significantly increased passenger capacity.
Beyond the arrivals hall you'll find currency exchange counters, car rental desks, an ATM, and taxi booking services including Toska Go Taxi. The 20–30 minute drive to Tirana city centre via the A1 motorway passes through the broad, flat Rinas plain — your first impression of Albanian landscape before the hills and minarets of the capital appear on the horizon. For early or late flights, Toska Go Taxi operates around the clock: no booking required in advance, just send a WhatsApp message with your flight number.
