February 26 (TravelAndy): Low cost carrier airBaltic, which is the flagship carrier of Latvia, will introduce a direct flight between Riga, the Latvian capital and Abu Dhabi, the capital of UAE.

The route will commence from October 29, 2017, said the airline.

Four flights a week will operate on the new route.
