Poland’s capital, Warsaw, overtook Riga and Helsinki as the most popular route by passenger volume from Tallinn Airport for the first time in April, data from the company shows.
In April, 313,000 passengers passed through Tallinn Airport, 12 percent more than a year earlier.
The growth was driven mainly by an increase in Wizz Air’s flights and the company’s connection to Warsaw opened in March.
“April’s result clearly shows that demand for air travel remains strong. Among airlines, Wizz Air grew the fastest, having flown only to London from Tallinn as recently as the middle of last year. At the end of last year, routes to Kraków, Venice, Budapest and Vilnius were added,” said Tallinn Airport Management Board member Eero Pärgmäe.
Wizz Air also opened a route to Rome this year, a connection with Poland’s Baltic Sea city Gdańsk will launch in May and a direct flight to Tirana, Albania will start in June.
