KD-avia has launched 4 new flights to Germany

Kaliningrad. A trip to Russia-on-the-Baltic has just got a whole lot easier: The regional Russian airline KD-avia has launched four new direct flights to West European destinations.

Besides the existing Berlin-Kaliningrad route, Kaliningrad’s KD-avia will also in the future fly to and from Hamburg, Hanover, Dusseldorf and Munich, with one Boeing 737-300 daily per destination.

These flights will run during the summer months until October. If demand holds, the flights will continue through the winter, announced KD-avia director Leonid Iskov.

“The routes are a fixed part of our strategy of transforming Kaliningrad into an air-hub between the Russian regions and Western European airports.”

This ambitious aim has just started looking fully realisable. The new destinations see Kaliningrad connect to the 13th Russian and 12th Western European airport.

Happy landing



KD-avia declared itself completely happy with the start of the new routes, a spokeswoman said. All planes were almost booked up. The carrier expects tickets sales to average at 55% of capacity for the summer.
