A video published on the "Kosovoa Sot" Facebook page claims that the inscription "Albin Kurti - Kosovo USA" has been placed on a civilian plane.
In this video, a civilian commercial plane with this inscription is seen parading on a runway.
No additional details have been provided that could explain the source and additional data for this video. However, it seems that the creator of this video content intended to publish it on the day when Prime Minister Albin Kurti and President Vjosa Osmani traveled to the US to attend the funeral ceremony of former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.

After researching hibrid.info through online search engines and applications for verifying the source of information, it was unable to find a similar publication from any other source.
Apart from "Kosova Sot", this video has not been published by any other credible media outlet from Kosovo or abroad.
Hibrid.info, through manual fact-checking, has noticed details that indicate that this video has been tampered with. So the caption "Albin Kurti - Kosovo USA" appears to have been edited using some "Deepfake" program/application.
Details of this aircraft show that the logo on the tail is that of the airline and Chinese civil aircraft manufacturer "COMAC" (see here).
Even the type of this aircraft – "arj21-700" – is from this Chinese manufacturer.
The fact that this plane bears the logo of the Chinese airline indicates that this video is false, as this airline does not operate in Kosovo at all, based on data from the website of Pristina International Airport “Adem Jashari” (see here).
Also, the same company has been banned from operating in the US and has been sanctioned by the Federal Government, as it is considered an enterprise controlled by the “People’s Liberation Army” of China (see here).
These two facts show that a plane with such a logo could not have landed in the territory of Kosovo or in the USA.
Analyze:
The claim made through the video published by "Kosovasot" turns out to be false and edited through "Deepfake" applications.
The facts handled by hibrid.info's controllers prove that this plane with this inscription is very unlikely to be real.
Based on the research methodology, this video content is rated as "Fraud".
