The Latvian airline airBaltic announces addition to the list of direct flights from its base in Tampere (Finland) – to Nice (France) and Milan (Italy). Starting from May, the new destinations will be connected with two weekly flights.

Martin Gauss, President and CEO of airBaltic: “In a few months we will be celebrating the first anniversary of our base in Tampere, and so far the demand from Finnish passengers has met our expectations. Following the success, we at airBaltic are thrilled to add these two beautiful cities to our route network, as both Nice and Milan are very popular travel choices. We hope that this year the passenger demand will gradually grow even more, therefore we may launch additional new destinations to various business hubs and leisure destinations over time.”

airBaltic already performs direct flights from Tampere to Copenhagen (Denmark), Munich (Germany) and Amsterdam (Netherlands) as well as sunny leisure destinations Malaga (Spain) and Rhodes (Greece), in addition to continuing flights to Riga (Latvia).
