Share

In May 2025, airBaltic carried 458,900 passengers, a 6% increase compared to May 2024, despite operating 0.4% fewer flights (approx. 4,300) due to earlier network adjustments. The load factor rose by 3.4 percentage points to 78.6%, marking the airline’s highest-ever May performance.

The airline also achieved a flight regularity of 99.86%, reflecting strong operational reliability.

From January to May 2025, airBaltic served 1.86 million passengers, an 8% year-on-year increase, setting a new record for this period.

Looking ahead to the winter 2025/26 season, airBaltic will launch three new routes:

  • Riga–Faro (Portugal)
  • Tallinn–Madeira (Portugal)
  • Gran Canaria–Ljubljana (Slovenia)

The airline will also:

  • Expand Riga–Dubai service to daily flights
  • Double Vilnius–Dubai capacity to four weekly flights
  • Boost Amsterdam connectivity with 47 weekly flights across all Baltic capitals

airBaltic continues operating around 130 routes from its five hubs, reinforcing its network across Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and the Caucasus.
