It handles a growing volume of traffic on routes to Italy, the UK, Germany, and other European destinations, driven partly by the Albanian diaspora and partly by increasing tourism. One hotel near the terminal offers a park and fly package with a shuttle, covering the budget segment at Albanian pricing.
