airBaltic’s expansion into markets of Eastern Europe, including countries in the former Soviet Union, is taking new steps forward: we will open a new route from Riga to Tashkent during the beginning of the winter traffic season, while we some weeks ago opened already a new route from Vilnius to Chisinau.

airBaltic is continuing its relentless expansion eastwards and has launched a new route from Vilnius to the capital of Moldova – Chisinau.
airBaltic is continuing its new strategy of opening new routes not only to capital cities throughout Europe and beyond, but also to regional centres. Last year, besides launching flights to a variety of capitals, routes were also opened to such important regional centres of Northern Europe as Gothenburg, Bergen and Stavanger.
From Riga, airBaltic is ready to launch flights to two more exotic places – Hurghada, the exciting resort on Egypt’s Red Sea Riviera, and Tashkent, the colourful capital of Uzbekistan.
Taking into account the excellent results and passenger demand on its new domestic Riga–Liepaja route, airBaltic has decided to fly between the two Latvian cities in winter too. It will also add two additional frequencies at the weekends.
airBaltic’s network of offices in other countries continues to broaden. This autumn, the airline opens two new representative offices, one in the UK capital and the other in the Ukrainian city of Odessa.
Regular airBaltic passengers who have Gold Membership in their EuroBonus frequent flier programme, or any passengers who are travelling Business Class, are welcome to use their airport’s special business lounges before the flight. EuroBonus Gold Members can bring a guest along too.
airBaltic introduced its new Internet check-in system this summer and it has proved extremely popular with passengers. Until the end of September, it was available only for passengers travelling from Riga and already more than 5,000 passengers have used it.
EuroBonus is an advantageous frequentflyer loyalty programme operated by airBaltic and its sister airlines across the SAS Group. Partners also include the airlines of the Star Alliance, hotels, car rentals and other services.
Autumn is the time for laying in stores for the long winter months ahead. With airBaltic you can combine that search for the perfect winter coat with an autumn treat – and go shopping in some of Europe’s most vibrant cities. Here’s our pick of five of the best.
At the crossroads of the world, Uzbekistan has, over the centuries, been part of the Persian, Macedonian, Arab, Mongol and Russian Empires, and was itself the heart of one of the most fearsome empires the world had ever seen – under the legendary rule of Amur Timur in the 14th century. The sweep of history across the Central Asian steppe has left Uzbekistan scattered with ancient gems – the names of its most famous cities – Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva conjure heady images – of the exotic Silk Route, adventure and riches, and turquoise cupolas as vivid as the cloudless sky. All those things can still be found in today’s Uzbekistan – whether you’re wandering the mosques and madrasahs of the ancient cities, exploring the wide open lands of the wild steppe, or immersed in the scent of the pungent spice stalls at one of Uzbekistan’s many markets.
