Germania Connects European Capitals: Inaugural Flights between Paris and Pristina

BERLIN/PRISTINA – 28 March 2018 – Today, independent airline Germania operated its first flights between the two capital cities of Kosovo and France. This afternoon, the incoming flight from Paris was greeted in Pristina with the traditional water salute. “Expanding the VFR network (Visiting Friends & Relatives) is central to Germania’s strategy. It does not only focus on connections to popular holiday destinations and charter flights, but also on out-of-the-ordinary routes,” said Germania Group representative Urs A. Pelizzoni during the ceremony at Pristina International Airport. “Flights to and from Pristina have for a long time been an important part of this strategy.” Another new Germania connection between Pristina and the Danish capital Copenhagen was started on Friday, March 23.

There is a close sales cooperation for the Germania connections to Paris and Copenhagen with Air Prishtina. The two companies have been collaborating on flights to and from Pristina since 2012. Leyla Ibrahimi, CEO of Air Prishtina, comments: “Due to our high service standards and routes that are geared towards the needs of our passengers, we have established ourselves as a reliable carrier in Pristina and will continue to extend our network. The new routes to Paris and Copenhagen are an important milestone in this development.” Air Prishtina furthermore offers flights to Munich, Dusseldorf, Stuttgart, Verona, Milan, Basel, Geneva, and Zurich. Haldun Firat Kokturk, CEO of Pristina International Airport, also looks forward to the new route: “It is an immense pleasure to connect the two capital cities of Kosovo and France by Germania. It is a continuity of the many new routes launched lately offered to our customer by the same airline.”
