The Latvian airline airBaltic has announced plans to launch direct flights between its seasonal base Gran Canaria (Spain) and Molde (Norway).
The route will be operated once weekly from October 29, 2025, to April 8, 2026, on Wednesdays, and the flight time will be approximately 5 hours 40 minutes.
This marks airBaltic’s seventh direct route from Gran Canaria, complementing its existing services to Riga (Latvia), Tallinn (Estonia), Vilnius (Lithuania), Billund (Denmark), Oslo Torp (Norway), and recently launched direct service to Ljubljana (Slovenia).
Thomas Alexander Ramdahl, chief commercial officer (Acting) of airBaltic: “We are excited to continue introducing new routes from our seasonal base in Gran Canaria to various destinations across Europe, further strengthening this regional connectivity.
“The new flights will offer Norwegian travelers seamless access to this sunny and warm destination during the colder winter months, while passengers from Gran Canaria will have the opportunity to explore Molde – a city known for its stunning fjord views and vibrant cultural scene.
“We believe this direct service will generate demand from both ends of the route, contributing positively to inbound tourism of each region.”
airBaltic will operate flights between Gran Canaria and Molde with Airbus A220-300 aircraft, offering both Economy and Business Class.
Furthermore, the airline also offers free high-speed SpaceX Starlink internet onboard, making it the first European airline to provide this service.
The airBaltic fleet, one of the youngest in Europe, consists of a single aircraft type – Airbus A220-300. The airline currently operates 50 of such aircraft and aims to double in size.
The aircraft offers an excellent flying experience, with benefits for passengers such as wider seats, larger windows, more hand luggage space in the cabin and improved lavatories, as well as better overall performance.
