airBaltic Announces More Pop-Up Flights For Summer

For the summer season 2024, Latvian carrier airBaltic has confirmed additional pop-up flights. For the record, pop-up flights operate during a particular period to cater to an increased demand. The new pop-up services include a domestic flight between Riga and Liepaja and a link between Tallinn, Estonia and Palma de Mallorca, Spain, towards the end of summer.

The Riga-Liepaja flight will operate twice a week between July 11 and July 22 and August 1 and August 5. One-way ticket prices are EUR 39 for Economy Classic and EUR 99 for Business Class. The service between Tallinn and Palma de Mallorca will operate once a week, on Mondays. On this route, the one-way ticket prices start at EUR 99.

Before these two pop-up services, airBaltic had announced similar operations from Riga to Ostrava, Czechia. Flights on this route will operate on May 11, 13, 17, 20 and 22. Latvia’s men’s hockey team will be in action on these dates at the IIHF 2024 Ice Hockey World Championship.

Like all other airBaltic flights, the pop-up services will also be provided on an Airbus A220-300.

Farnborough Airshow: Airbus And Abra Group Sign MoU For A350s

The majority investor of Avianca and Gol Airlines, Abra Group, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Airbus at the Farnborough International Airshow 2024. The MoU involves five A350-900s to strengthen long-distance flight operations and increase capacity. The idea is to provide better connectivity from Latin America to the rest of the world.

The Airbus A350 can accommodate 300 to 410 passengers, depending on the configuration. With its aerodynamic design, lightweight materials, and new-gen engines, the aircraft can fly up to 9,700 nautical miles nonstop. Compared to the previous-gen jet, the A350 offers a 25 per cent reduction in fuel consumption, operating costs and CO2 emissions. Airbus also claims a 50 per cent reduction in noise.

Airbus has sold more than 1,300 aircraft in Latin America and the Caribbean. The European manufacturer has a leading market share of in-service passenger jets, with 800 already in operation and the remaining 500 are yet to be delivered.

Farnborough Airshow: flynas Intends To Buy 90 More Airbus Jets

At the Farnborough International Airshow 2024, flynas and Airbus inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for 90 more aircraft. The low-cost carrier from Saudi Arabia has shown interest to purchase 75 A320neo family aeroplanes and 15 A330-900s. This is in addition to the airline’s order for Airbus narrowbody jets, a deal the duo cracked during last year’s Paris Air Show.

The additional aircraft order with the European manufacturer will help the carrier strengthen its regional and international routes. Per the paperwork, the A330-900 will feature a two-class configuration, offering seating capacity for 400 passengers. The aircraft comes packed with two new-gen Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines, new wings and several aerodynamic enhancements. As a result, it delivers a 25 per cent reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions compared to its predecessor. The Airbus A330-900 offers a range of 8,150 nautical miles (15,094 km), plenty for those long routes.
