I flew EC-NVR from ZRH to MAD yesterday 28Oct22. This thread explains a) why the aircraft only flies European routes b) what I saw in the first cabin section while boarding and disembarking through the 2nd door during the second or two you can peek in. It looked very strange. c) why the cabin crew d...

As you say the Kukes area isn't wealthy and it is also thinly populated, with just 85'000 inhabitants in the whole Kukes county (called "qark" in Albanian). So I think any route would struggle, even to traditional Albanian migration areas such as Italy. I'm not familiar with Albanian migra...
Jump to postThere might obviously be more demand between Switzerland and Tirana than between between Switzerland and Kukës but the number must still not be that big.

Jump to postI'll be on the first commercial pilotless flight!
I think we'll see pilotless flights before driverless vehicles as aircraft are operating in much less unpredictable conditions than roads with pedestrians, cyclists, stray animals, bad visibility, poor roads etc.
