Therefore, having learned about potential opportunity for getting new carrier in our region, especially European one, we latched onto this idea. For us this flight is significant chance enhancing for better operation with the European market as well as opportunity for our tour operators. Today we are closely working with Germany, Finland and establishing more active contacts with Spain, France, Portugal, thus this carrier is very interesting for us. There was big competition among the Russian cities, where AirBaltic was supposed to come, and I’m very pleased that both Airline Company and Mrs. Ambassador personally, have invested plenty of efforts, and this carrier appeared in Kazan. This is great opportunity for us.”
