Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Air India will market single‑ticket itineraries via Riga to eight European hubs (Amsterdam, Paris, Frankfurt, Copenhagen, Milan‑Malpensa, Vienna, Zurich, London‑Gatwick), expanding onward feed and booking options without immediate widebody schedule changes.
  • The deal leverages airBaltic's strengthening European feed and its recent deeper codeshare with Lufthansa, reinforcing Riga's role as a regional transfer hub (see airBaltic and Lufthansa expand RIX–FRA codeshare).
  • The pact complements Air India's recent interline moves (eg. with STARLUX) and aligns with broader capacity expansion trends in India, where carriers have scheduled about 3% more winter flights for 2025.
