Latvian airline airBaltic has appointed Airline Services GSA as its cargo GSSA for Finland saying the company’s long-standing expertise in the eastern European markets was a major factor in its choice.

airBaltic currently operates five flights per day from Helsinki to its Riga hub, with frequent connections to 53 destinations spanning Europe, eastern Europe, Turkey, Israel and Egypt. The airline operates a 28-strong fleet of B737 and Fokker F50 aircraft with up to 1,000kg capacity per flight. From its summer schedule, airBaltic will increase flights from Helsinki to six per day.
