"Over the last days we have seen a significant reduction in short-term forward bookings for the Milan destination and therefore a decision has been taken by Air Baltic to reduce the amount of flights," Martin Gauss, CEO of Air Baltic, said. 

"Even though short-term demand for travel to Milan and Verona has decreased, we see that the interest for travel to Italy, especially for the summer months, remains high. In the summer season, Air Baltic plans to relaunch its seasonal flights to Catania, Olbia and Venice," Gauss added.

Between March 23 and May 31, 2020, Air Baltic will continue to offer two weekly flights from Riga to Milan. Passengers who already have bookings for the affected flights to Milan from March 23 until May 31 will be rebooked on other flights. In addition, the passengers will be offered to rebook their affected reservations free of charge to another Air Baltic destination in the vicinity -- Zurich, Geneva, Munich or Vienna instead of Milan.

Until March 23, Air Baltic currently plans to continue operating flights from Riga to Milan and Verona according to the planned schedule.
