Mantas Vrubliauskas, VP Network Management at airBaltic: “The new route between the two cities is expected to attract more tourists from Slovenia to Gran Canaria during the colder months, when travelers in Central Europe are seeking sunny and warm destinations, while also providing residents of Gran Canaria the opportunity to explore Ljubljana, famous for its beautiful old town, and lively atmosphere. We are grateful to our partners in Gran Canaria for supporting this expansion, which improves the island’s connectivity to a variety of destinations in Europe.”
The flights between Gran Canaria and Ljubljana will be operated by modern Airbus A220-300 aircraft. The aircraft offers an excellent flying experience with such benefits for passengers as wider seats, larger windows, more hand luggage space in the cabin, and much more. Furthermore, the airline is gradually equipping its fleet with free high-speed SpaceX Starlink internet, becoming the first European carrier to offer this service.
During this winter flight season, airBaltic will operate seven direct routes from Gran Canaria to Billund (Denmark), Ljubljana (Slovenia), Molde (Norway), Oslo Torp (Norway), Riga (Latvia), Tallinn (Estonia), and Vilnius (Lithuania), providing more travel opportunities form the island, while at the same time contribute to incoming tourism for the Gran Canaria.
airBaltic’s first destination in Spain was to Barcelona, back in 2005. Since then, the airline has continued to expand its network, now offering direct connectivity from eight Spanish destinations and making Spain one of the airBaltic’s key markets. In late 2023, the airline also launched a seasonal base in Gran Canaria, providing direct flights to the Baltics and Scandinavia. Operating from Alicante, Barcelona, Gran Canaria, Madrid, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca, Tenerife, and Valencia, airBaltic offers Spanish travelers a wide range of options for visiting the Baltics and surrounding regions.
Over the past 30 years, airBaltic has evolved into a globally respected carrier. Now the airline is connecting the Baltic States to 80 destinations across Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and the Caucasus region, providing essential infrastructure and global connectivity for the region.
