In the first half of the current year, the Latvian Air Baltic was able to achieve the highest turnover in the company's history. According to preliminary figures, the carrier has taken in around 285 million euros.
“The first half of 2023 exceeded our expectations and delivered a strong commercial performance for Air Baltic. We've had a strong summer season so far, with each month showing an improvement and increasing trend. Compared to the first six months of 2022, we are seeing significant growth in preliminary revenue, passenger numbers and flights operated. Our goal remains to achieve sales of 2023 million euros and a significant increase in passenger numbers to 700 million by the end of 4,4," says company boss Martin Gauss. “Moreover, our main focus for the future remains to be the leading provider of connections to and from the home cities of Riga, Tallinn, Vilnius and Tampere. Here Air Baltic has strengthened its position and strives to improve the flight experience for passengers and make an important contribution to the economy”.
In the first six months of 2023, the carrier carried nearly 2,0 million passengers, up 52% from the same period last year. The number of flights operated increased by 20% to 20.300.
