LaGardin pointed out that this new service is an excellent opportunity for vacationers.
Transport Ministry Aviation Department Director Arnis Muiznieks also appeared at the press conference, commenting: "Let's not talk about undesirable competition here, but about cooperation, resulting in added value."
Riga International Airport's board chairman, Andis Damlics, also spoke of "healthy competition in any event," pointing to Brussels as a hub for a multitude of further destinations, while Riga, for "Brussels Airlines, can serve as a hub for further travel to many points in, let's say, Scandinavia."
