EditorialThe economy in the Baltic region has been rapidly expanding, and will continue do so in the years to come. One driving force in this development has been the growing economic integration between the Baltic States and their Nordic neighbors. Markets in the Nordic region, for automobiles, washing powder, or banking services, are increasingly seen as constituting one single market. When talking about the Baltic region, one should not forget the Russian enclave Kaliningrad, a fast growing city that is increasingly successful in attracting not only Russian but also foreign investments. Integration of markets cannot proceed without a tightly meshed and efficient transport network. And in this respect, airBaltic has been playing an important role.
More flights within Baltics airBaltic has upped the number of flights it is offering yet again, this time with increased frequencies on workdays from Riga to Vilnius (4 times daily, one way tickets from 26 LVL), Tallinn (6 times daily, one way tickets from 32 LVL) and Liepaja (5 times daily, one way tickets from 12.70 LVL), offering convenient connections to no fewer than 47 destinations from Riga airport (Internet fare; all taxes included in all prices quoted).
Frequent fliers can turn up the volume If you’re a regular traveller within the Baltic countries, Scandinavia and Finland, airBaltic’s Volume tickets could make sense.
