On October 28, Latvian national airline airBaltic will enter the winter season with an increased number of flights in its network spanning Europe, Middle East, and Russia/CIS.

Martin Gauss, Chief Executive Officer of airBaltic: “Our robust airBaltic ReShape programme has helped us to achieve positive results in the high season in summer. Our winter flight programme has been very carefully considered, to preserve what we achieved in the summer, while at the same time maintaining and improving a vital air infrastructure for both business and leisure travellers to and from Riga or any other of our destinations.

We have improved our service on the routes where demand and results are strong. Compared to last winter, we offer better connections by growing the number of flights to cities where airBaltic passengers can make single day trips. Numerous destinations in Western Europe, Scandinavia, Benelux, Russia, Ukraine and the Baltic region, are served multiple times every day, and we have strengthened this service for the coming winter. Major airports and important regional centres in Europe, Scandinavia and CIS will also see flights added for the convenience of our business customer, while leisure travellers will enjoy better service for ski holidays, winter sun, and city breaks.”

By increasing flight frequencies compared to last winter, airBaltic will improve its service to both local passengers, and those travelling in transit via Riga to and from 60 destinations in Europe, Middle East, Russia/CIS. airBaltic is introducing Budapest as its new year-round destination, adding flights to routes connecting Riga with London, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Vienna, Munich, Dusseldorf, Oslo, Bergen, Billund, and boasting a larger family of major airlines as partners that offer convenient code-share flights to and from airports worldwide.
