Martin Gauss, Chief Executive Officer of airBaltic: “We are delighted that our modernised fleet can serve our customers better, and on routes where demand is higher. For the summer season we will discontinue our Riga-Kaunas route, recording somewhat weaker demand; this makes aircraft available to reinstate the Riga-Gothenburg service for our customers travelling between the two cities and onwards to destinations such as Paris, Barcelona, Rome, Kiev, Moscow, Istanbul.”
“We are really happy to welcome airBaltic to Göteborg Landvetter Airport! It is of great importance for our region to have a good connection to Riga and to a network that makes destinations in the Baltic, Russia and the CIS countries accessible”, says Charlotte Ljunggren, Managing Director at Göteborg Landvetter Airport.
