    Ryanair, known for popularising the low-cost model in Europe, has in recent years begun a process of expansion to the east of the continent. Wizz Air, which is one of the largest operators in the region, has grown in Western European markets, mainly by catering to demand from passengers visiting friends and family (VFR).

    The two companies confirmed this week their scheduling of services in Albania for the coming northern winter.
