Tampere is real busy now with the new airBaltic base.

It's great! Do you know if they base flight crew in TMP? Or do they simply overnight here whilst on tour?

@@iamra_n3189 As far as I know a large chunk of the planes operating from Tampere are based from Riga, but they have registered 1 or 2 planes in Tampere and the crew from these planes probably either stay overnight or live in Tampere, or they get a flight to Riga at the end of the day.

Those P&W GTFs start & sound very cool!
