May 22, 2015 (newstodate): Latvia's airBaltic is moving fast in response to the demise of the Lithuanian carrier Air Lituanica that is ceasing operations by noon today.
-Our home market for airBaltic is Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, and we will consolidate and strengthen our service in this home market by offering more direct flights. We announce the first direct routes out of Vilnius to Western and Northern Europe today and will evaluate additional ones gradually, says Martin Gauss, airBaltic CEO in a release.
-Furthermore, today's event in Vilnius is a strong signal that the three Baltic countries should take a common approach to their aviation, to their best to support travellers, new economic activity, and new jobs.
As a first step, airBaltic announces the immediate opening of new direct routes from Vilnius to Brussels, Berlin, Paris, Stockholm, Warsaw, and Helsinki, in addition to the existing flights from Vilnius to Amsterdam and Riga.
After years of political tugs-of-war, the notion of a Pan-Baltic airline may now be taking a decisive step forward towards realization based on its core airline, airBaltic, with the issue of Estonian Air still pending.
