Sep 19, 2019 (newstodate): The Estonian company Nordica made a wise decision to pull out from scheduled services at Tallinn Airport.
   Instead, Nordica has directed its full focus to the role as a capacity provider to other airlines, leaving only three routes on the carrier's network of scheduled services - and even these are operated not by Nordica, but by its partner, the Polish carrier LOT, from July 1, 2019.
   The company cited strong competition and oversupply of seats on Tallinn routes as the reason for the pull-out, and the change in the market is not least caused by the build-up of Latvia's airBaltic in the Estonian market.  
    This is fully documented by the advances reported by airBaltic in its figures on trends in August 2019.
   -The number of passengers carried by airBaltic to and from Estonia during the first eight months of 2019 grew 48 percent, y-o-y, to 430,000 passengers, the company says in a release.
   airBaltic opened its base at Tallinn Airport in November 2014, and now has two Airbus A220-300 aircraft allocated to serving direct flights to Riga, Amsterdam, Berlin, Brussels, Copenhagen, London, Malaga, Oslo, Paris, Stockholm, Vienna and Vilnius, with a new route to Salzburg to be launched in December 2019.
