airBaltic carried 114,700 passengers in June, or 70 per cent more than the previous month.

The Latvian airline performed 1,780 flights.

Martin Gauss, chief executive of airBaltic, said: “Many of us have been waiting for an opportunity to travel and now airBaltic provides many safe and exciting travel destinations.

“Even though we have seen a large passenger increase, in June we carried 79 per cent less passengers than before Covid-19, in June 2019.

“We expect traffic volumes to continue picking up.”

During June, the 15-minute flight punctuality indicator for airBaltic reached a level of 87 per cent.

This means that more than 87 out of every 100 airBaltic flights departed at the planned time or with a delay of no more than 15 minutes.
