The new flights will be operated daily, except Saturdays, and provide convenient direct access for passengers travelling to/from Stockholm Arlanda and Berlin Tegel airports. Full schedule and tickets for these flights are available at www.airbaltic.com, as well as at the online travel agency www.airbaltictravel.com.
