Latvian airline airBaltic
has concluded an agreement with the international tour operator Tez Tour for summer flights from Riga to
Varna, Bulgaria. The new two weekly return flights will start on 24 June 2014
and offer convenient connections between the two cities and beyond to
destinations in the Baltic region, Scandinavia and Russia.
Reklāma
Christophe Viatte, Chief Commercial Officer of airBaltic: “The new route will offer excellent opportunities to
travellers visiting the warm and sunny Varna by the Black Sea. For the upcoming
summer season we will discontinue a number of routes, recording somewhat weaker
demand. This move makes an aircraft capacity available for the new route.”
Konstantins Paļgovs, General Manager of Tez Tour in the Baltics: “Varna is a popular and highly demanded
holiday destination for our travellers, and we are delighted to partner with airBaltic to start flights on the route.”
