Aug 5, 2015 (newstodate): The Baltic carrier airBaltic has added one ATR-72 aircraft to cope with its increased operations in neighboring Lithuania.
-We are wet-leasing an ATR-72 aircraft from the Danish company DAT to support our expansion from Lithuania, which was not part of our original plan for this year, says Janis Vanags, airBaltic VP Corporate Communications.
Following the demise of Air Lituanica in May 2015, airBaltic immediately stepped in to fill the void in air services by announcing the 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 launched on October 30, 2014.
airBaltic will also add flights to Stockholm Bromma from Vilnius starting on September 1, 2015.
Until 2011, airBaltic was building up its own network of flights from Vilnius comprising flights to Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen, London, Munich, Paris, Riga, Rome, Dublin, Hamburg, Stockholm and Oslo but retreated due to increased competition and a change of strategy.
