In addition, Estonian Air has adjusted departure times from Tallinn so that travellers can get to 13 connecting flights in Europe, Scandinavia and CIS countries with maximum of one hour and 30 minutes waiting time in Tallinn airport.

For passengers starting their flight from Tartu and continuing flights with Estonian Air one-way fares from Tartu to Tallinn are 23.03 euros. The one-way fare for travelling only on the Tallinn-Tartu route starts from 27.6 euros, if purchased from www.estonian-air.com, including all fees and taxes, subject to availability. For passengers arriving to Tallinn with any Estonian Air direct flight and continuing their flight from Tallinn to Tartu one-way fares are 23.03 euros.

According to Rauno Parras, the Commercial Manager of Estonian Air, there is a big potential to increase the number of passengers in Tartu and Southern-Estonia.”We hope that the latest changes – switching the departure time and improved connections from Tallinn – is an important step to attract more people to fly from Tartu,” said Parras. “Tartu airport needs to be acknowledged by all Southern Estonians as their own airport in order to reach the sustainablity,“ added Parras.
