In July, 75,682 passengers passed through Tallinn Airport, which is approximately 24% of the volume of passengers in July last year; however, the number of passengers more than tripled compared to June 2020.

"In the last two months, the number of destinations has increased significantly, offering people the opportunity to fly for both holidays and business trips. In July, flights to Warsaw, Milan, Dusseldorf, Edinburgh and Dublin were resumed," Riivo Tuvike, CEO of Tallinn Airport, said.


There were also a few single flights to Malaga and Girona in Spain, as well as to Ukrainian destinations such as Kyiv, Kharkiv and Lviv, which are currently suspended again. It was possible to fly to Greece by charter flights.


"Unfortunately, the situation is constantly changing and, depending on the number of infections in the countries of destination, the flight plan can change very quickly. That is why we urge passengers to follow the flight schedule in real time and contact their airline if necessary," Tuvike said.


The average load factor of flights also improved in July, reaching 53%. "The highest passenger volumes and higher load factors were mainly on flights to countries with low infection rates. Thus, in July, Vienna became one of the most popular destinations, with airBaltic, Ryanair and Wizzair flying there," Tuvike added.


A total of 2,140 flights took place in July, an average of 69 landings and take-offs a day.


As of the beginning of August, there are regular flights on a total of 20 direct routes. Tallinn Airport urges all passengers to familiarize themselves with the restrictions and requirements of the destination country before going on a trip. Information can be found on both the Reisi Targalt (Travel Smart) and Re-open EU websites.
