The Supervisory Board of Tallinn Airport has chosen Riivo Tuvike, who has international finance and banking experience, as its new chairman, to start on June 1.

Last month, passenger numbers through Tallinn and Tartu airports were much higher than the same time last year, reflecting rising numbers of flights and changing schedules.

TLL wants to more than double the size of its capacity, while also building 150,000sqm of office and accommodation.

Competing directly with its neighbour’s flag carrier, airBaltic is already flying or about to fly to all three Scandinavian capitals.

The number of passengers at Tallinn Airport increased by 14% in February – and nearly by 40% on the Tallinn-Stockholm route.

Airports in the Nordic and Baltic countries are among the winners of the ACI’s airport service quality awards.

The Latvian and increasingly pan-Baltic airline carried a record 4.1mn passengers in 2018 – and will expand further in 2019.

One Nordic route from Tallinn is axed but two remain, as aircraft and crews from three unprofitable routes go elsewhere.

All of a sudden, Stockholm has the most flights per day to and from the Estonian capital.

Riga-based airBaltic is mapping expansion in neighbouring Estonia, with plans for 12 routes from TLL in 2019, including Copenhagen.

TLL beat other airports in the category such as Cork, London City and Torino by making big investments.

The cornerstone has been laid for the biggest car park in Estonia, a €13 million structure at Tallinn Airport.
