Bertolt Flick, president and CEO of airBaltic: “The development of aviation in Latvia’s regions is of key importance. We know that domestic airBaltic flights to Liep?ja and the fact that the Liep?ja airport is now shown on international aviation maps with flights to Hamburg and Copenhagen – these have been very important initiatives which promote the development not only of Liep?ja and its surrounding region, but also of a substantial part of Lithuania.

“The Daugavpils airport, too, has great growth potential, and we at airBaltic are prepared to offer consultations so as to work on the development of aviation services here. The first step is the opening of our regional office in Daugavpils, which creates new aspects in the local tourism industry and makes opportunities for travel more accessible to folks in the region.”

airBaltic also plans to open offices in Liep?ja, Ventspils, Jelgava and Valmiera soon. A new sales point and a consultation office will be opened also in Riga, in addition to the existing office in Berga Bazars.
