Latvian airline airBaltic is expanding its network for 2026/2027 winter season, running from late October 2026 to the end of March 2027, with the addition of 12 new routes from Riga (Latvia), Gran Canaria and Tenerife (both in Spain), and Kuusamo (Finland).
As part of the expanded schedule, the airline will further strengthen its existing Gran Canaria seasonal base, establish a seasonal base in Tenerife, and operate weekend services from Kuusamo.
Mantas Vrubliauskas, VP Network Management at airBaltic: “Winter remains an important time for our customers to travel for leisure, and decisions around new routes must be made well in advance to secure the best opportunities for them.
“As the current winter season comes to a close, we are already looking ahead to the next one, starting in late October 2026.
“With additional routes to sunny destinations such as Gran Canaria and Tenerife, alongside new connections to Kuusamo for winter sports and Nordic experiences, we continue to diversify our network and adapt to evolving travel demand.”
airBaltic will add flights from its home base in Riga to Kuusamo. From Gran Canaria, the airline will launch new routes to Warsaw, Poznan, Katowice (all three in Poland) and Liege (Belgium). From Tenerife, airBaltic will introduce services to Liège (Belgium), Ljubljana (Slovenia), and Palanga (Lithuania).
From Kuusamo, the airline will add flights to Berlin and Hamburg (both in Germany), Manchester and London Gatwick (both in United Kingdom).
