After initially stating that flights to Israel would resume only on September 30, the company now updates that operations will restart on September 4, 2025, with a flight from Riga to Tel Aviv.
The return flight from Tel Aviv to Riga will take off shortly thereafter, thus restoring regular operations on the air route between Latvia and Israel, following a prolonged suspension due to security conditions.
According to the company's announcement, represented in Israel by Tal Aviation, they will initially operate two weekly flights:
✈ From Riga to Tel Aviv and back on Thursdays and Sundays
The flights will be operated by the company's new A220 aircraft, recently unveiled as their 50th Airbus A220 with a special livery.
A highlight of airBaltic's new flight experience is the high-speed satellite internet service by Starlink – a SpaceX company by Elon Musk.
