The runway snapshot lists 1 runway and a longest runway of 9,843 ft / 3,000 m.

Krujë is the closest retained city-time anchor at 12 km. PRN Prishtina is the closest retained airport alternative at 169 km.
TIA has no same-country peer airports retained in the current airport set, so the useful comparison points are its code, coordinates, timezone, and route references.

OurAirports classifies TIA as a large airport with scheduled service; the airport name and codes identify it as an international gateway for Rinas.
TIA (LATI) is a near sea-level field at 126 ft (38 m) in the mid-latitudes, kept in the curated set for its route, timezone, and market-planning value.
TIA sits in a broader regional network with 5 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
TIA's runway record lists 1 runway, with the longest runway at 9,843 ft / 3,000 m and source surfaces recorded as asphalt.
A specific operator or management record for TIA is not currently in our source set, so this page leans on regulator and country context rather than inventing one.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at tirana-airport.com, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
TIA uses Europe/Tirane (CEST, UTC+02:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
Tirana International Airport Mother Teresa is about 13 km from central Rinas; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
PRN Prishtina is the closest retained alternate at 169 km, time difference +0h.
tirana-airport.com is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
These comparisons place TIA inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
TIA ranks #1 in the curated Albania airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 1 airport.
TIA has no other retained airport in the same IANA zone cohort, making Europe/Tirane a more distinctive signal for this page.
