Riga Airport to Offer the Widest Network of Destinations in the Baltics this Summer

During the summer flight season, which will begin this weekend with the transition to summertime, Riga Airport will offer the widest range of destinations in the Baltics – almost a hundred direct destinations from Riga. On several important routes, airlines will significantly increase the number of flights this summer, ensuring extensive connection options from Riga for further trips.

This summer season, LOT Polish Airlines will offer significantly more flights and 50 % more seats on the Riga-Warsaw route, while British Airways will offer flights between Riga and Heathrow. 

National carrier airBaltic will increase the frequency of flights to Amsterdam to three times a day, thus providing passengers from Riga with even wider connectivity to further destinations elsewhere in the world. The frequency of flights between Riga and Tampere will increase from the current seven flights per week to 13 flights per week. airBaltic will also increase the frequency of flights to Tallinn, Porto, Alicante, Stockholm, Istanbul, and other destinations, as well as launch charter flights to a new destination – Lamezia Terme in Italy.

Finnair will significantly increase flight frequency and seat availability on its Helsinki route compared to last summer. Weekly flights will rise by a fifth, while available seats will grow by nearly two-fifths. 

Norwegian will expand its range of destinations from Riga in the summer season, offering flights to Burgas, Split, and London, as well as continue flights to Alicante launched in the winter season.

Turkish Airlines plans to increase flights on its regular route to Istanbul, while Lufthansa is adding more flights to Frankfurt. Irish low-cost carrier Ryanair will also increase the frequency of flights to Prague, Cologne, Dublin, Leeds, London, and Manchester. 

A total of 11 airlines will provide regular passenger flights at Riga Airport this summer season, while charter flights will be provided by six carriers. Although charter flights to Antalya from Riga Airport operate regularly, it is noteworthy that the Turkish tour operator Mavi Gok plans to use a higher-capacity Boeing 777 on the Riga–Antalya–Riga route this summer.

In the 2024 summer season, the top destinations from Riga Airport by passenger numbers were Helsinki, London, Stockholm, Oslo, and Tallinn.
