About Tirana International Airport Mother Teresa

Tirana International Airport Mother Teresa lies in the temperate mid-latitudes at 41.41° N, 19.72° E, on Europe/Tirane time (UTC+2).

Tirana International Airport Mother Teresa has 1 runway. The longest, 17/35, measures 9,843 ft by 148 ft, which puts the field in the widebody capable category: twin-aisle aircraft can use it, and narrowbodies have length to spare. The surface is asphalt. It is lit for night operations.

Runway 17/35 is aligned roughly south/north, which is the clearest hint you get about the prevailing wind here: runways are built to face the wind that blows most often, because aircraft take off and land into it. Every runway here shares that south/north alignment, so a strong crosswind means a crosswind landing rather than a switch to another strip.
