Furthermore, airBaltic will also launch flights from Tallinn to Palma de Mallorca on a once-weekly basis.

Gauss: A New & Innovative Concept…
Commenting on the plans for these new flights from Riga & Tallinn was airBaltic CEO Martin Gauss:
“Pop-up flights represent a new and innovative concept for airBaltic, designed to offer seamless, temporary travel options directly tied to consumer demand and special events.”
“These flights enable us to provide more flexibility, which greatly benefits our customers, especially during peak travel times to high-demand destinations.”
The airline has already got additional pop-up flights in place.
For the IIHF 2024 Ice Hockey World Championship, flights to Ostrava in Czech Republic will be operated on May 11, 13, 17, 20 and 22.
Overall…
In conclusion, it appears that airBaltic has found an interesting market to target from Riga & Tallinn.
Looking ahead, all eyes will be on how these temporary flights perform for the airline.
If demand is strong, then there could be scope to turn these routes into permanent services on their network.
