Latvian airline airBaltic is launching direct flights between the Albanian capital Tirana and Vilnius.

Flights will be scheduled twice a week until September 30, the airline said on Tuesday.

“Since the launch of direct flights from our home base in Riga to Tirana last year, demand for travel between the Baltics and Albania has grown significantly, making it one of our most popular summer destinations,” Mantas Vrubliauskas, VP Network Management at airBaltic, said in the statement.

“As a result, we have decided to expand our presence in the Albanian market by introducing new direct service from both Tallinn and Vilnius as well. These new routes offer excellent leisure opportunities for travellers from the Baltics, support inbound tourism from Albania to our region, and enhance connectivity to the Baltic states and beyond, across our network of more than 70 destinations.”

This summer season, airBaltic will operate 16 direct flights from Vilnius to destinations in Europe and beyond, as well as from Palanga to Amsterdam.
