Following growing local demand, this airline has been increasing its presence in Estonia, by adding more direct destinations from Tallinn Airport.

It is the greenest commercial aircraft currently available. It is the first aircraft to have a transparent declaration of the life-cycle environmental impact, helping to reduce CO 2 and NO X emissions by 20 per cent and 50 per cent respectively.
