Ryanair will increase Riga capacity by 6% for winter 2026, adding 40,000 seats and operating 16 routes with two based aircraft following reduced airport charges. In contrast, it plans to cut capacity in Estonia and Lithuania by around 25%, or 550,000 seats, citing higher airport costs. The expansion comes as Air Baltic restructures its operations, reducing its A220-300 fleet to around 36 aircraft by end-2026 and pursuing a financial turnaround following its September US Chapter 11 filing.

Titan Airways has begun a five-year contract operating an Airbus employee shuttle between Hamburg-Finkenwerder and Toulouse, using an A320 currently registered G-POWM. The aircraft will shortly become 9H-ZTE, the first aircraft registered under Titan Airways Malta's EU AOC. The move gives Titan improved access to European ACMI and charter customers by allowing it to offer EU-registered capacity without the regulatory complications associated with UK-registered aircraft.
