Improvement in Riga Airport’s financials but uncertainty about Ryanair’s presence

23-Jun-11 2:58 PM

Latvia’s Riga International Airport (RIX) reported a profit of EUR705,000 in 1Q2011, compared with a loss of EUR21,150 in the previous corresponding period, in a report submitted to the governing body of the Ministry of Transport. The airport, a home to aggressive airBaltic, handled 939,630 passengers and 15,373 flight movements. But Ryanair, which has a significant presence could still move away.

Airports struggle with life after Ryanair

11-Nov-10 3:41 PM

Ryanair has been cancelling or suspending services at a wide range of airports across Europe, including in countries where it is growing.

European and Middle East carriers fighting for market share on Europe-Middle East route

28-Oct-10 5:07 PM

European carriers are becoming increasingly concerned by the Middle East airline threat on their core international businesses. CEOs from British Airways, Air France and Lufthansa have all voiced their opinions lately, as Middle East airlines continue to expand their global networks. But the European flag carriers are not standing idly by. Several are rapidly expanding their presence in the Middle East, to maintain and/or grow their share of this promising market. Emirates is the clear market leader, with a 21.0% share of capacity on Middle East-Europe routes. Qatar Airways is the second largest, with 8.7%, while Lufthansa, British Airways and Air France have just 5.6%, 3.5% and 2.7% shares, respectively.

Air Baltic CEO, Bertolt Martin Flick AirBaltic gets Riga and Bigger

5-Jul-10 11:57 AM

Latvian flag carrier and dominant regional airline airBaltic has announced plans to serve more destinations over the forthcoming northern winter and to offer additional flights to improve connections for travellers flying via northern hub Riga to/from more than 70 destinations in Europe, CIS and the Middle East.
