Riga. Latvian airline airBaltic will add two new routes in the 2026/2027 winter season – between Riga, Latvia and Turin, Italy, and between Vilnius, Lithuania and Geneva, Switzerland. With these additions, the total number of new routes for the upcoming winter season increases to 15. This further improves airBaltic’s European network, offering customers a broader and more diverse range of destinations.
Mantas Vrubliauskas, VP Network Management at airBaltic: “Winter remains an important season for leisure travel among our customers. These two new routes will provide even more opportunities to reach the Alps, access a wider range of ski resorts, and enjoy a variety of winter activities. For the upcoming winter season, our network is designed to offer something for everyone – warm, sunny destinations, winter sports holidays, and a wide range of city getaways across Europe.”

|---|---|---|
| Riga–Turin (Italy) | January 30, 2027 | One weekly flight |
| Vilnius–Geneva (Switzerland) | January 2, 2027 | One weekly flight |
The Riga–Turin flights will operate from January 30 to March 20, 2027, with one weekly service on Saturdays and a flight time of approximately 2 hours and 50 minutes. The Vilnius–Geneva flights will operate from January 2 to March 20, 2027, also with one weekly service on Saturdays and a flight time of approximately 2 hours and 50 minutes. Both new routes will be operated with Airbus A220-300 aircraft.
