airBaltic has inaugurated its seasonal base in Gran Canaria, Spain’s Canary Islands, launching two Airbus A220-300 aircraft to serve 10 direct routes during this winter period.
Martin Gauss, President and CEO of airBaltic, expressed delight in establishing this seasonal base, marking the airline’s first base outside the Baltics and Finland. The move aims to meet the rising demand for travel between Northern Europe and the Canary Islands, enhancing aircraft utilization during the winter months.
The seasonal base in Gran Canaria supplements airBaltic’s existing services to the Canary Islands, connecting the airport to nine new Northern European destinations alongside the already operational Riga-Gran Canaria route. The new routes will be operated by the Airbus A220-300, known for its efficiency and passenger-friendly features like wider seats, larger windows, increased cabin luggage space, and enhanced lavatories, promising improved performance and convenience for travellers and staff alike.
