In April 2005, airBaltic first operated a flight from Riga in Latvia to Paris in France. Now in 2025, airBaltic is celebrating two decades of connecting the Baltics and the City of Love.
Twenty Years of Flights to Paris
This April 30, airBaltic is celebrating twenty years of operating flights between their home base of Riga in Latvia and Paris in France. Across the two decades, airBaltic has carried 1.8 million passengers and operated over seventeen-thousand flights between the two cities.
Mantas Vrubliauskas, VP Network Management at airBaltic said:
“As we mark 20 years of flying to Paris, the city remains one of our most demanded destinations, with steadily growing passenger numbers. Paris stands at the crossroads of Europe’s political, economic, and creative life – attracting a steady flow of both leisure and business travellers. With up to 21 weekly flights from the Baltics, we offer convenient access to the French capital and smooth onward connections worldwide through our codeshare partners – reinforcing Paris’ role as a key hub in our network.”

In addition to flights to Paris, airBaltic offers greater links between the Baltic States and France with their network of six direct routes from Riga in Latvia, Tallinn in Estonia, and Vilnius in Lithuania to Nice.
