The daily flight will launch between the capitals of Latvia and England on Monday 28 October. Flights will operate on a mix of A320 and A321 aircraft, with return fares available from 90 EUR.
"We are grateful to British Airways for their cooperation and confidence in the growth potential of this important route for our passengers, increasing the frequency of flights to seven times a week. The daily flights and significantly improved flight times will expand the opportunities for passengers to fly connecting flights through London Heathrow Airport to North America, Asia, and other destinations daily. We also appreciate the investment of the Riga Investment and Tourism Agency in the work with the carrier and the opportunity to invest in the promotion of Riga as a travel destination both in the United Kingdom and in the wider network of British Airways routes,” said Laila Odiņa, Chairperson of the Board of RIX Riga Airport.
The airline previously operated flights to Rīga from 1997 to 2007.
