[edit] History
The airline was established and started operations on 3 November 2004.
On September 1, 2006 the airline was grounded and according to local media it was advised to stop selling tickets. Albania's Civil Aviation announced, the company has debts of more than 500.000 USD. The Grounding led to heavy political controversies in Albania. The opposition and the management accused the government of having interfered against Albatros Airways violating the free market economy. The office of the President of Albania was blamed of having favored Albatros Airways.
