airBaltic to Continue Gran Canaria Base for Winter 2024/2025
The Latvian national airline airBaltic has announced the continuation of its operations from the seasonal base in Gran Canaria during the upcoming winter season. It will begin as of October 2024, and tickets for eight non-stop routes from Gran Canaria are already available for purchase on the airBaltic website http://www.airbaltic.com.
Martin Gauss, President and CEO of airBaltic: “Due to the success of our seasonal base in Gran Canaria and the resulting high demand, we are excited the continuation of our Gran Canaria operations with eight direct routes to the Nordic and Baltic countries for the winter of 2024/2025. During the winter months, when global passenger demand is traditionally lower, we have identified an opportunity to optimize our capacity for maximum efficiency. Establishing a seasonal base in Gran Canaria allows us to meet the increase in demand for sunny winter destinations. Our presence in Gran Canaria not only enhances connectivity but also offers passengers a wide range of convenient travel options and services, including travel in Business Class.”
