Sep 02, 2015 (newstodate): Pan-Baltic airline or not: Latvia's airBaltic considers the three markets of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania as is home market and is now boosting its offerings in Lithuania.
This week, the carrier is thus adding Brussels, Stockholm Bromma, Helsinki, Paris and Berlin to its network of cities served from Vilnius.
-The development in Lithuania is part of our strategy to operate 11 direct services out of Vilnius in the coming five years, says Christophe Viatte, airBaltic CCO in a statement.
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.
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.
