With airBaltic announcing that three new leisure destinations will be added to its network in July, we take a look at the Latvian carrier’s summer schedule.
Latvian carrier airBaltic has announced further deep cuts to capacity over the next six months, as well as delaying the launch of all new routes planned for the summer 2020 season.
The budget carrier has served the Lithuanian market for over ten years, initially with a London Stansted – Kaunus operation. It first introduced flights into Vilnius in May 2011 when it debuted services from Bergamo, Bremen, Dublin, Girona, London Stansted and Rome Ciampino. Its expanded offering will mean it will be providing over 3,000 seats per day into the Lithuanian market from the coming winter schedule.
After the merger of Vilnius, Kaunas and Palanga Airports last year, the Lithuanian air gateways have witnessed a significant increase in passenger and flight volumes, sales and overall net profit over a year-long period.
The Lithuanian airport network has undergone a dramatic change, and is subsequently on the rise. Jurate Baltrusaityte, Chief Commercial Officer, Enterprise Lithuanian Airports, gave Routes delegates an insight into the future of the Lithuanian airport network, at the Routes Europe Strategy Summit.
