Ryanair will be flying to Riga 5 times a week from the winter (up from 3 just now).so the route remains served.
Baltic lease 12% of their fleet to SAS and Eurowings.

easy and BA meanwhile are grounding planes they are already paying for, paying for their parking and then paying for wetleases.
Obviously crewing issues but amazing none the less
