Latvia's Air Baltic to launch flights to Dubai

Latvia's airBaltic will launch new flights between Riga and Dubai, starting from September 1, 2021.
The carrier has scheduled to connect both cities with four weekly flights.

Martin Gauss, Chief Executive Officer of airBaltic said, "Dubai for years has been one of the most significant unserved destinations from Riga."

Flights between Riga and Dubai will be operated by the Airbus A220-300 aircraft. A complete schedule of airBaltic flights and tickets for the new destinations are already available on the company's homepage at airbaltic.com.

Hanan Al Aleeli, Ambassador of the UAE to Latvia said: “Expo 2020 Dubai will be the first in-person global mega event since the pandemic began, which will be welcoming millions of visitors from all over the world.

“Therefore, the timing of these convenient and fast flights between Riga and Dubai before the event is exceptional, and will contribute not only to economic development, but also in creating further opportunities for political, cultural and people-to-people ties between the UAE and Latvia. Emiratis and Latvians themselves are what have created the demand for these flights, a direct result of the close relationship between our two nations.”
