In this symbolic event Mrs. Andrea Gebbeken Chief Executive Officer of Tirana International Airport placed a bouquet of flowers under the statue of Mother Teresa at the airport.

Mother Teresa or Agnes Gonxhe Bojaxhiu was born in Skopje on 26 August 1910 and joined the order of the Sisters of Loretto in 1928, becoming Sister Teresa. After taking her final vows in 1937, the nun became Mother Teresa.
She was operating 610 missions in 123 countries. The Catholic nun is renowned for ministering to the poor, sick, orphaned and dying for more than 45 years, until her death in 1997.
She received several honors for her service, including the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize and the 1985 Presidential Medal of Freedom. She was beatified in 2003 by Pope John Paul II and given the title Blessed Teresa of Calcutta.
Holding the name of Mother Teresa, TIA is committed to always offering its passengers and customers the best.
As well as offering a safe and secure environment for its customers, the company is committed to a high standard working environment for the airlines operating at TIA and whose numbers are growing each and every year.
