Euro Jet has expanded its ground handling capabilities across the Baltic region, adding personnel in airports throughout Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania as part of a strategic growth initiative, while simultaneously preparing for increased summer traffic along the Adriatic coast.
The flight support provider has deployed additional representatives in the Estonian capital of Tallinn and at regional facilities including Tartu, Parnu, and Amari. Similar staffing expansions have taken place in Latvia’s Riga hub and across Lithuania’s three busiest aviation centers: Vilnius, Kaunas, and Palanga.
According to the company, the enhanced Baltic presence aims to service flight segments for business, diplomatic, humanitarian, and military operations, among others. Katarzyna Kopanska, Euro Jet’s manager for the Baltic region, noted, “Our new agents bring extensive experience in aviation, and we are confident that Euro Jet will attract new clients and strengthen our position in the region. Their expertise and connections will help us further enhance service quality and operational efficiency.”
The Baltic expansion coincides with Euro Jet’s preparations for what it expects to be a high-volume summer season throughout popular vacation destinations in Croatia, Montenegro, and Albania.
Services available across both regions include traditional ground handling, fuel coordination, permit acquisition, catering arrangements, and crew accommodations. Euro Jet maintains dedicated ramp vehicles and crew lounges at busier Balkan airports.
