Compared to the first full week of May, last week the number of new bookings made on airBaltic flights increased by nearly 500%. In total, last week passengers made more than 13 000 new reservations.
Martin Gauss, CEO of airBaltic: “During the last two months, while flying was not possible, we had very few new bookings. We already expected that it would change once we are able to fly again. Although we have a positive momentum, it still is only a fraction of bookings airBaltic had before the crisis.”
