Belle Air (Tirana) ceased all operations yesterday (November 25). The private Albanian airline had launched operations on March 1, 2006 to seven airports in Italy. The company blamed the failure on the “general economic situation, the decline of the purchasing power, recession in the markets it operates as well as from the freezing for over 18 days of its bank accounts”.
It is unclear if this suspension also includes the operations of Belle Air Europe (Prishtina).

Thank you Blend. It will be interesting to see how long the Belle Air Europe operation can continue.
Happy Thanksgiving.
