Albanian Airlines MAK Sh. p.k. is an airline based in Tirana, Albania. It operates scheduled international services. Its main hub is Tirana International Airport Nënë Tereza.
The airline was established in May 1991 under the name of Arberia Airlines, and was the private airline of politicians for communist Albania. It was renamed Albanian Airlines in May 1992 and started open operations to the public on 20 June 1995. It was formed as a joint venture between the Albanian state-owned Albtransport and Tyrolean Airways of Austria.
Albanian Airlines was privatized in the same year and sold to Kuwaiti-based M.A. Kharafi & Sons Group. In August 2009, Albanian Airlines was sold to Azerbaijan-based Turkish Evsen Group of Companies. Under the agreement, 93% of capital of the airline will belong to Ali Evsen and 7% Advanced Construction Group (ACG) Sh.p.k of Albania.
