Airline hails Estonia flight

BUDGET airline Ryanair has celebrated the first flight on its route between Edinburgh and the Estonian capital Tallinn.

The Irish carrier now has around 30 routes from Edinburgh Airport, having expanded its operations in recent years.

Ryanair's Maria Macken said: "Ryanair is delighted to welcome passengers on board its inaugural flight from Edinburgh to Tallinn.

"Ryanair will operate three flights a week to the Estonian capital on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays."

In November the airline launched new services to Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands and the Swedish city of Gothenburg.
