Latvian airline airBaltic has announced plans to continue operating flights from Riga to Malaga, Madrid and Lisbon, Portugal, during the winter season, which will begin in late October.

Wolfgang Reuss, senior vice president Network Management of airBaltic, said: “We introduced direct flights to Malaga and Lisbon only this spring, however, the passenger demand for these routes has already been high, making it viable for us to fly to these cities year-round. With the addition of the three routes as well as return of flights to Abu Dhabi, this winter we will continue to offer the best connectivity to and from the Baltics.”

AirBaltic serves over 70 routes from Riga, Tallinn and Vilnius, offering the largest variety of destinations and convenient connections via Riga to its network spanning Europe, Scandinavia, the CIS and the Middle East.

For summer 2018, airBaltic has introduced eight new destinations, from Riga to Malaga, Lisbon, Split (Croatia), Bordeaux (France), Gdansk (Poland), Almaty (Kazakhstan) as well as Sochi and Kaliningrad (Russia). In addition, airBaltic launched a new direct route connecting Tallinn and London. - TradeArabia News Service
