Latvian airline airBaltic has announced an expansion of its route network for the upcoming winter season, running from late October 2025 to late March 2026. The airline is launching three new routes to offer travelers additional options during the colder months:

  • Riga (Latvia) – Faro (Portugal)
    Start date: September 6, 2025
    Frequency: Once weekly
    Fares from: €129 (Economy), €369 (Business)
  • Gran Canaria (Spain) – Ljubljana (Slovenia)
    Start date: October 25, 2025
    Frequency: Once weekly
    Fares from: €149 (Economy), €359 (Business)
  • Tallinn (Estonia) – Madeira (Portugal)
    Start date: October 26, 2025
    Frequency: Once weekly
    Fares from: €189 (Economy), €469 (Business)

As part of its winter schedule, airBaltic will also increase frequencies on several popular routes. Flights from the Baltic capitals to Amsterdam will be enhanced to 19 weekly flights from Riga and 14 weekly flights from both Tallinn and Vilnius, improving connectivity to one of Europe’s key hubs.

The airline is also expanding its operations to Dubai (UAE), introducing daily flights from Riga and doubling service from Vilnius to four weekly flights.

Additionally, airBaltic will extend several summer routes into the winter season. Flights from Riga to Pisa and Porto will continue through November, while Riga–Catania will resume earlier than usual, starting in March 2026. The airline is also increasing service to Egypt, offering three weekly flights each to Sharm El-Sheikh and Hurghada from Riga.

airBaltic will resume its Riga–Dublin route, offering two weekly flights during the winter season.

Winter travelers looking for ski holidays will benefit from an extensive range of destinations, including Innsbruck, Salzburg, Geneva, Verona, and Kittilä – connecting passengers to some of Europe’s top winter sports resorts.
