Estonian Air Adds Seasonal Tallinn – Venice Service

Posted 04/01/2012

Baltic carrier Estonian Air is to launch a seasonal service to the Italian city of Venice from the country’s capital Tallinn during summer 2012.  The airline is to fly twice weekly on the route between June 9, 2012 and September 1, 2012 enhancing travel options for holidaymakers between the Baltic States and the Adriatic coast.

Demand for the new seasonal link was partly brought to the airline’s management’s attention by an online customer survey which asked consumers which destinations they would like to fly to from the Estonian capital.  “The definite winner was Venice,” said Rauno Parras, Chief Commercial Officer, Estonian Air.  “Venice is an attractive recreation and holiday area by the Adrian Sea where we have not offered any direct flights before.”

In the past year an estimated 92,000 O&D passengers travelled between Estonia and Italy, a market that is currently only served on a scheduled basis by Ryanair with year-round flights between Tallinn and Bergamo Orio al Serio.
