Kukes Airport will have a different profile from the two other airports in the country, that of Rinas and of Vlora.
Prime Minister Edi Rama held today an interpellation with residents of Kukes, who, in addition to the explanations for the National Road Maintenance fee, addressed 2 requests to Rama.
First was the construction of the Kukes Airport. Second, the building of a football stadium in the city.Rama assured them that the airport will start operating in the Autumn and at end-of-year holidays, emigrants will have the oppurtunity to travel through this airport at low cost prices.
"The procedures have started for the Kukes Airport. Will be an airport with another profile because will be based on cheap flights. Low fare flights are impossible at Rinas Airport because of the concession contract," Rama said.
According to him, citizens complain about the high ticket prices at Rinas Airport because of the fact that there is a concessionary relationship of the past that gives the Rinas airport the power to impose very high tariffs.
As for the construction of the stadium, Rama stressed the need for this construction. But he said the stadium will be built in the following period.
"Kukes has no a football stadium. Its construction is part of the program, but it will be something for a later time and not like the airport," He said.
