CEO of #RigaAirport Laila Odina, attending today Aviation-Event 2023 discussion “The challenges and opportunities of new emerging markets of Central Eastern European aviation” with Jesús Caballero Pinto, CEO, Sofia Airport, David Ciceo, CEO, Cluj Avram Iancu International Airport, Eldin Dobardžić, Chair of the Board of Directors, Airports of Montenegro underlined: “The Baltic countries have a lot in common with the Balkan countries in the field of aviation: history, aviation restructuring in the nineties of the last century, when the old carriers disappeared and new ones appeared. Latvia's benefit and success from these changes was the national airline "airBaltic", which today is the most important player in our region. At the moment connectivity of these regions is expanding, discovering more and more new routes from the Baltic main Riga Airport to the Balkans. These new destinations strengthen the Riga Airport as a hub of the region and help to replace markets of Ukraine, Russia and Belarus lost due to the war.” #aviation #travel #development #cooperation #baltics #balkans
