Gran Canaria, Spain. The Latvian airline airBaltic has announced plans to launch direct flights between Gran Canaria and Molde (Norway). This will be 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 Gran Canaria to various destinations across Europe, strengthening the island’s connectivity. The Norwegian city Molde, known for its stunning fjord views and vibrant cultural scene, is a great addition to our growing network in Spain. We look forward to welcoming passengers on board and providing them with our high-quality service and seamless travel experience aboard our modern Airbus A220-300 aircraft, which are gradually being equipped with free SpaceX Starlink internet.”
The flights on this route will be operated once weekly from October 29, 2025, to April 8, 2026, on Wednesdays, and will take approximately 5 hours and 40 minutes. Tickets are already available for purchase on the company’s homepage in both service classes, with prices starting from EUR 139* in Economy Class and EUR 395* in Business Class.
On flights between Gran Canaria and Molde, airBaltic will offer both Economy and Business Class. Business Class passengers can enjoy a comprehensive full-service package, including priority check-in and boarding, a front-of-cabin seat with a free seat for added privacy, a gourmet meal perfectly paired with a curated selection of premium beverages, and quicker disembarking upon arrival. Throughout the flight, a dedicated Business Class cabin crew ensures exceptional 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.
Furthermore, the airline offers free high-speed SpaceX Starlink internet, making it the first European airline to provide this service. The entire fleet is planned to gradually be equipped with this service.
Back in 2005, Barcelona was airBaltic’s first destination in Spain. Since then, the airline has continued to expand its network, now offering direct connectivity from eight Spanish destinations and making Spain one of the airBaltic’s key markets. In late 2023, the airline also launched a seasonal base in Gran Canaria, providing direct flights to the Baltics and Scandinavia. Operating from Alicante, Barcelona, Gran Canaria, Madrid, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca, Tenerife, and Valencia, airBaltic offers Spanish travelers a wide range of options for visiting the Baltics and surrounding regions.
airBaltic operates nearly 130 routes from Riga, Tallinn, Vilnius, Tampere, and, seasonally, Gran Canaria, offering connections to a wide range of destinations in the airline’s route network in Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and the Caucasus region.
