VILNIUS- Latvian airline company airBaltic has announced it will add more flights to its new Palanga-Riga route, which it started in April, with two more flights on per week starting June 1. It will also fly larger aircraft on its Vilnius-Riga route to create more transit through its main hub in Riga.
AirBaltic currently operates eight flights a week between Riga and the Lithuanian resort town of Palanga.
The company said the new route has enabled Lithuanians from the western part of the country to access Western Europe.
"The greatest interest in the new flight currently comes from passengers willing to travel between Palanga and Western Europe and the Mediterranean region," AirBaltic said in a press release.
Passengers will fly aboard a Fokker 50 airplane with 45 minutes flight time. One-way ticket will cost around 25 lats (35.70 euros).
Currently airBaltic operates six daily flights on Vilnius-Riga route. Starting from April 15, an additional flight will be operated by bigger aircraft Boeing 737 instead of the current Fokker 50.
Routes from Vilnius to Stockholm, Munich and Milan will all be cancelled in mid-April.
The cancellations are part of the long term strategy of the company to route all traffic through its hub in Riga.
