Tero Taskila, Chief Commercial Officer of airBaltic: “We are pleased to have signed an agreement with the German government on the provision of airline services for the country’s Civil Service. This is the third time this year that a European government has chosen airBaltic services – the Danish government did so in January, and an agreement was signed with the Finnish government in September. The fact that governments from these highly valued countries are choosing airBaltic shows clearly that our promise of high-quality services at an attractive price is effective.”
