airBaltic has substantially lowered fares this year, now starting as low as EUR 15,- and generated additional passengers on its direct routes linking Tallinn with Vienna, Berlin, Riga, Paris.

As previously reported, in April and May 2016 airBaltic for the first time in history became No. 1 airline in Estonia by passenger numbers. airBaltic has further strengthened its offering out of Tallinn by launching a direct service to Vilnius with two convenient morning and evening departures and prices starting at 29 EUR.
