Tampere-Pirkkala (TMP), located in southern Finland, is set to become a new base for Latvian airline airBaltic. The carrier currently has three bases-at Riga in Latvia, Tallinn in Estonia, and Vilnius in Lithuania. Tampere will therefore become the airline's first base outside its Baltic heartland. "We at Finavia have been cooperating with airBaltic for years and this new opening takes our cooperation to the next level," airport operator Finavia deputy CEO Jani Jolk-konen said. "Tampere-Pirkkala Airport is a very important airport for Finavia and during the recent years we have invested almost €20 million in developing the airport." Six nonstop routes will be launched from the Finnish city beginning in May.
