Latvian carrier airBaltic has unveiled its summer 2027 flight schedule, covering operations from late March until the end of October 2027. The upcoming seasonal programme will continue to strengthen Riga, Latvia, as the airline’s central hub, offering the largest selection of direct routes across its network. Meanwhile, Tallinn, Estonia, and Vilnius, Lithuania, will support the wider network through a range of selected point-to-point connections.

Aligned with airBaltic’s updated business strategy, the summer 2027 schedule reflects a more focused and demand-led approach to network planning. The airline is prioritising routes with stronger market demand and higher revenue opportunities across both business and leisure segments. At the same time, airBaltic will increase flight frequencies on important routes, giving travellers more choice, improved flexibility, and greater convenience when planning their journeys.

A key element of the new programme is the further optimisation of Riga’s hub operations. airBaltic has adjusted flight timings and connection windows through the Latvian capital to create smoother transfers and more efficient links between destinations across its network. The updated structure aims to improve the overall passenger experience by making connections easier and more convenient.

During the summer 2027 season, airBaltic will operate direct flights to 57 destinations from Riga, 13 destinations from Tallinn, and 8 destinations from Vilnius. The network will continue connecting passengers to major European business and leisure destinations, including Amsterdam, Barcelona, Copenhagen, London, Munich, Paris, Rome, Stockholm, and several other key markets. The complete destination list for each Baltic capital will be announced as part of the airline’s full summer schedule.

Mantas Vrubliauskas, VP Network Management at airBaltic: “With our summer 2027 programme, we continue to provide direct and convenient connectivity from all three Baltic capitals. Our network is designed around the travel needs of our passengers and the markets we serve, with a strong selection of destinations for both business and leisure travel. At the same time, we are increasing frequencies on a number of popular destinations, offering even greater flexibility and strengthening connectivity between the Baltic region and key destinations across our network.”
