Air Prishtina history
The history of the airline company goes back till the early 1980s. It was founded as ‘Reisebüro Prishtina (RBP)’ by Bexhet Sallahu. His concept was based on providing inexpensive fl
ights for Kosovars in Europe to their relatives in Kosovo and the region.
In 1993, the travel agency ‘Prishtina’ was represented in more than a dozen cities in Europe and several major towns of Kosovo and Macedonia. The agency initiated partnerships with other travel agencies and major European airlines.
In 2005, ‘Air Prishtina AG’ was founded in Switzerland. The company incorporated all previous operations and activities under this brand. After the death of founder Bexhet Sallahu in 2005, his daughter Leyla Ibrahimi Sallahu leads the organization.
