“The passengers’ volume has been in upward trend since June, and we believe the growth during the second half of the year will compensate the fall of the first half. The increase in passengers’ volume has been influenced by bigger number of destinations and good performance of charter flights.

This is a good alternative for business passengers giving them faster and more convenient service when flying to Stockholm,” says Indrek Randveer, the CCO of Estonian Air. “At the same time we have to take measures to respond to the impact of unstable situation in Ukraine and intensified competition which have negative effect on our results,” added Randveer.
