Two weekly flights to Latvian capital Riga

AIRBALTIC WILL fly to Edinburgh Airport this summer with flights between the Scottish capital and Riga from June.

It’s the Latvian airline’s first route from Edinburgh and there will be two flights per week on an Airbus A220-300 aircraft. The route is scheduled to begin on 4 June and will operate on Mondays and Fridays.

Gordon Dewar, Chief Executive of Edinburgh Airport said: “We’re always looking to add new routes and we are excited to be welcoming air Baltic to Edinburgh Airport and connecting the capital cities of Scotland and Latvia.

“We know people are eager to travel when conditions allow and we want to be able to offer some excitement through new destinations, and Riga is definitely one for people to check out and experience one of the finest cities in the Baltics.”

Martin Gauss, Chief Executive Officer of airBaltic, said: “We are delighted to announce our second destination in Scotland, thus expanding connectivity between Latvia and the UK. In addition to the new route, airBaltic also continues to offer convenient and safe connections between Riga and London, Aberdeen and Manchester in the UK.”
