RIGA – The Latvian airline airBaltic has concluded a cooperation agreement, known in the industry as code-share agreement, with NextJet, the regional airline in Sweden with the largest national route network. This cooperation will offer new convenient connections to Scandinavia for airBaltic customers, while NextJet passengers will benefit from better access to the Baltic region.
Wolfgang Reuss, SVP of Network Management of airBaltic: “This is excellent news for our customers travelling to regional cities in Sweden and across the Baltics. Now the guests of both NextJet and airBaltic can conveniently reach places such as Palanga, Liepaja, Jonkoping, Karlstad, Hemavan, and others.”
Henning Lindberg, VP of Marketing and Network of NextJet: “We are very happy to announce our new cooperation with airBaltic. We know that we have a great demand for travel between our destinations in Scandinavia and the Baltic region and the fact that we now are strengthening our cooperation will enhance our common product and customer offer radically.”
The new partnership will offer passengers more convenient connections via Riga (Latvia), and Stockholm Arlanda Airport (Sweden).
airBaltic Connectivity Leader in Riga
airBaltic has over the past year improved its home market connectivity with European and global cities, and added high-frequency routes.
Wolfgang Reuss, SVP of Network Management of airBaltic: “airBaltic provides more high frequency flights from Riga than all other carriers combined, and the gap is widening. Last year, we strengthened airBaltic’s role as the carrier of choice serving European and global cities directly and via convenient transfers, as well as adding high-frequency routes. This year, as we modernise and grow our fleet with state-of-the-art CS300s, our new routes will boost connectivity even further.”
In 2016, airBaltic served 57% of all connections out of Riga to EU cities with over 0.5 million residents, reachable with less than 120 minute transfer at least once every working day; this was up from 43% a year earlier.
This year, airBaltic has added Abu Dhabi (U.A.E), Geneva (Switzerland), Aberdeen (United Kingdom), Stavanger (Norway), Gothenburg (Sweden), Tampere (Finland), Catania (Italy), Madrid (Spain), Odessa (Ukraine), Kazan (Russia) and Liepaja (Latvia) to the network of cities served from Riga, and will introduce two new routes from Vilnius to Paris (France) and Munich (Germany).
