Mantas Vrubliauskas, VP Network Management at airBaltic: “We are delighted to add Faro to our network, marking the fourth destination we serve in Portugal alongside Lisbon, Porto, and very soon – Madeira. This new route opens a direct gateway for Latvian travelers to the Algarve – one of Europe’s most attractive leisure regions – while also offering passengers from Portugal convenient access to Riga and beyond. With Faro and our expanded winter schedule, we continue to broaden the variety of leisure options available during the colder months and to strengthen airBaltic’s role as the leading carrier in the Baltics.”
The flight time between is four hours and 55 minutes.
For the upcoming winter season, airBaltic will increase flight frequencies from all three Baltic capitals to Amsterdam – offering 19 weekly flights from Riga, and 14 weekly flights each from Tallinn and Vilnius (Lithuania), enhancing access to onward destinations through one of Europe’s largest hubs. The airline will significantly expand its presence in Dubai (United Arab Emirates) by launching daily flights from its home base in Riga and doubling service from Vilnius with four weekly flights between the two cities.
Furthermore, airBaltic will extend some of its summer season routes into the winter season, with flights from Riga to Pisa (Italy) and Porto (Portugal) operating through November. Meanwhile, flights from Riga to Catania (Italy) will begin earlier than usual – in March 2026 – providing travelers with even more leisure options. Additionally, the airline will increase its flight frequencies from Riga to Sharm El-Sheikh (Egypt) and Hurghada (Egypt), offering three flights per week to each destination. During the upcoming winter season, airBaltic also plans to resume flights between Riga and Dublin (Ireland), operating two weekly flights between the two cities.
Throughout the winter season, airBaltic will also offer an extensive selection of ski destinations, including Innsbruck (Austria), Salzburg (Austria), Geneva (Switzerland), Verona (Italy), and Kittilä (Finland) – covering some of Europe's top skiing resorts.
airBaltic operates more than 130 routes from Riga, Tallinn, Vilnius, Tampere and, seasonally, Gran Canaria, offering connections to a wide range of destinations in the airline's route network in Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and the Caucasus region.
