Air Baltic with New Flights to Amsterdam and Paris

Riga / Berlin (Jul 29th) – Air Baltic adds two western European hubs to its network. Commencing at October 28^th, the Latvian flag carrier will add Tallin (TLL) – Paris (CDG) services with four rotations a week not serving the route on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Two days later a service between the Lithuanian capital Vilnius (VNO) and the Dutch airport of Amsterdam (AMS) will also be added to BT’s schedule. No Air Baltic official answered the AU request for statement or information on Tuesday.

Air Baltic seems slowly but steadily to re-emerge from its deep crisis, after financial aid from Abu Dhabi based Gulf airline Etihad helped to bridge financial shortcomings. With the new route extensions Air Baltic sets itself once again in competition with low fare competitors who have gained much ground in the Baltics recently.  Wizz Air has opened a base at Riga (RIX) and airports like Kaunas, Vilnius and Tallin are destinations for all major low cost carriers.
