The Latvian airline airBaltic continues its strong performance this year, continuously setting new single-month records for carried passengers, operated flights, and load factor.

Martin Gauss, President and CEO of airBaltic: “Over the last few months, we have reported several records for monthly traffic figures, both in a single month and overall in airBaltic’s history showing our positions as the most favoured airline in the region. We are continuously expanding our network from the Baltic States and analyzing market trends in other regions to facilitate our expansion there as well. With this approach, we aim to continue our growth story as well as to provide the best connectivity from the region to the rest of the world.”

The new routes include such destinations as Mykonos, Cluj-Napoca, Stavanger, Ibiza, Rzeszów, and others. They offer customers a wide range of travel options, catering to leisure, business, and onward connectivity needs. Additionally, the airline plans to increase frequencies on eight existing routes from Riga, four from Tallinn and four from Vilnius.

airBaltic operates more than 130 routes from Riga, Tallinn, Vilnius, Tampere and, seasonally, Gran Canaria, offering connections to a wide range of destinations in the airline's route network in Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and the Caucasus region.
