“This year Estonian Air resumed summer seasonal flights much earlier than last year, which also had a positive influence on the results. In the first part of March we resumed flights to Paris and Berlin and in the beginning of April to Vienna and Nice. In addition, in the end of April we will add flights to Split which was very well received already last year, and Milan – a new destination in our summer flights network,” added Randveer.
