airBaltic expands its network from the Baltic States, launching 16 new routes and increasing frequencies on 17 existing routes, enhancing regional connectivity and travel options.

RIGA – With the commitment to provide the best connectivity from the Baltic States, the Latvian airline airBaltic continues its network expansion by launching 16 new routes – four from Riga, five from Tallinn, and seven from Vilnius. The new destinations offer customers a wide range of travel options for leisure, business, and onward connectivity needs.

Martin Gauss, President and CEO of airBaltic: “airBaltic is the connectivity backbone for the entire Baltic region.

Our commitment is to provide our customers with more travel options for leisure, business, and onward connectivity needs. Additional flights on these routes are in direct response to the rising demand we’ve observed, and we’re excited to offer even more convenient ways for our passengers to reach their chosen destinations.”

“Furthermore, our growth continues in Estonia and Lithuania as well, as we continue to launch new destinations and increase flight frequencies on various existing routes from Tallinn and Vilnius. With that we show our position as the leading and most favored airline in the Baltic States,” Ramdahl added.

airBaltic operates more than 130 routes from Riga, Tallinn, Vilnius, Tampere, and, seasonally, Gran Canaria, offering connections to a wide range of destinations in the airline’s route network in Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and the Caucasus region.
