The new flights will be performed twice times weekly on an Airbus A220-300 aircraft.


The airline reminded that the safety and health of the passengers is airBaltic’s top priority. airBaltic has introduced strong safety measures and the new flight operations follow the recommendations issued by authorities. All passengers on board of airBaltic aircraft are provided with a complimentary basic care kit consisting of a protective face mask and disinfection wipes.
