On June 1, the Latvian national airline airBaltic will open a base in the capital of Estonia, to support the airline’s growth at Tallinn Airport.
Latvian airline airBaltic carried overall 199,085 passengers in January 2010 (from Riga, Vilnius and Tallinn), representing 12% more than in the same month in 2009, when airBaltic transported 177,197 passengers
Attracted by lower prices in hotels and restaurants, and the marketing campaigns under the city brand LIVE Rīga, the number of travellers have been steadily increasing to Riga since the year end in 2009, helping the Latvian capital to outpace its neighbours.

The Latvian national airline airBaltic is reorganising its corporate structure – in the future, the Board Members will only have executive functions. The aim of the reorganisation is to ensure a more efficient management.
Latvia’s national airline, Air Baltic, will start operations on the first of five direct routes from Vilnius.
