On June 1, the Latvian national airline airBaltic will launch a new route from the Finnish City of Oulu to the Swedish capital of Stockholm.
Riga – Tero Taskila, Chief Commercial Officer of airBaltic: “In February, airBaltic announced the largest airline expansion in Finland’s history, by unveiling seven new routes in a single day. Now we take a step forward, and add the fourth direct airBaltic flight from Oulu to strengthen our service in the Northern Finland. The new Oulu-Stockholm route will add to the existing airBaltic’s services to Umea, Lulea, Vaasa, Turku, and encourage business and tourism in the Gulf of Bothnia region.”
