Not only can passengers now fly direct to Riga, they can also connect there to a range of destinations such as Tallinn, Vilinius, Russia and the Middle East.”
Martin Gauss, Chief Executive, airBaltic, said: “Riga is a dynamic city and the key business centre of the Baltic states. We are excited to connect Dublin and Riga as it opens up connections not only to Latvia but also to our wider home region with Tallinn and Vilnius, as well as many destinations in Scandinavia, the CIS and Middle East.”
