Õhus on armastust
Love is in the air
Just praegu, kevadel, tuleks minna
reisile, et nii üle saada pikast talvest
tekkinud päikesevitamiinide puudusest.
Estonian Air tervitab kevadet
uute lennukite ning tihedamate lennuühendustega.
Aga kuhu siis ikkagi
reisida ning miks valida just meid?
Estonian Airi sihtkohtade valik peegeldab
meie klientide pikaaegseid
eelistusi ning katab Eesti riigi jaoks
äriliselt ja kultuuriliselt olulisi
sihtturge.
Sellel kevadel soovitame kindlasti
minna romantilisse Pariisi, kuhu tuntud
frankofiil Lauri Leesi on jõudnud
juba kuuskümmend neli korda – põhjustest
räägib ta mõni lehekülg edasi.
Kevadest on meil palju tihedam lennuühendus
paljude Euroopa suurlinnadega,
kuhu nüüd on meie lennukitega
võimalik teha ka lühikesi paaripäevaseid
puhkusereise. Minna
näiteks Brüsselisse sööma sooje
vahvleid, võtta Kopenhaagenis üks
ehtne smørrebrød, šopata Londonis,
uidata Amsterdami kanalite ääres või
nautida kontserti Berliinis. Pikema
puhkuse huvilistele pakume näiteks
Prantsuse Riviera avastamist Nizzas
või alati hedonistlikku Barcelonat.
Miks valida Estonian Air? Tulge ise
vaatama, aga ühes võite kindlad olla
– te lendate otse ja omadega! Ning
hoolimata ilmast ja aastaajast on
õhus alati hoolivust ja armastust...
Meeldivat lendu!
Spring is in the air and now is the
best time to go travelling to overcome
the vitamin deficiency brought
on by the long winter months. Estonian
Air welcomes spring with new
planes, an enlarged fleet and more
frequent flights. What then are the
destinations to choose from and
why fly with us? The selection of
our destinations largely reflects
the long-term preferences of our
customers and covers the target
markets important for the business
and cultural life of Estonia.
This spring, we recommend taking
a trip to romantic Paris. As from
this spring, we are also increasing
the frequency of flights to many
other European cities perfect for a
city break. From now on, you can fly
to Brussels with us and enjoy the
local waffles, make a trip to Copenhagen
and grab an authentic smørrebrød
or you can shop in London,
stroll on the banks of the Amsterdam
canals or enjoy a concert in Berlin.
For those of you who prefer longer
holidays we recommend Nice and the
French Riviera or the everexciting
city of Barcelona.
But why fly with Estonian Air?
Well, come and see for yourself!
There is one thing, however, you
can always be sure of – you will be
flying safely among friends because
regardless of the weather or time
of the year there is always love in
the air...
Enjoy your flight!

Estonia at a
Estonia
Estonia is situated on the eastern
coast of the Baltic Sea, with a
coastline more than 3700 km long.
Estonia lies south of Finland, north of
Latvia and west of Russia. It has an
area of 45 227 km 2 , but much of this
is divided up into islets and islands.
The biggest islands are Saaremaa,
Hiiumaa, Muhu and Vormsi.
The eastern border of Estonia is on
Lake Peipsi, the fourth largest lake
in Europe.
The population of Estonia is 1.34
million with 400 000 of them living in
the capital city Tallinn. Tallinn was first
mentioned on the Arabian cartographer
Al Idrisi’s map in 1154.
Old town
of Pärnu,
the summer
capital of
Estonia.
Other
largest towns
University town Tartu (population
100 000), situated 190 km south-east
of Tallinn.
Border town Narva (population 70
000), situated 210 km east of Tallinn
The sea resort of Pärnu (population 45
000), situated 130 km south of Tallinn.
The oil-shale mining center Kohtla-
Järve (population 45 000), situated
160 km east of Tallinn.
The population density is 30 people per
km 2 , among the lowest in the world.
Almost one third of the Estonian population
lives in the capital city Tallinn.
According to the year 2000 Census,
the ethnic Estonians made up 67.9% of
the total population. The second largest
group is Russians (25.6%), followed
by Ukrainians (2.1%), Belarussians
(1.2%) and Finns (0.9%).
The highest point in Estonia is Suur
Munamägi (the Big Egg Hill) in South
Estonia at 318 meters above sea level.
From the top of this hill you can see
as far as Latvia and Russia.
The average temperature is –7 C in
January and +22 C in July. It gets dark
at 3–4 pm in wintertime, but in the
summertime the sun sets for only
a few hours.

History
Roman politician and historian Tacitus
wrote about Estonians in his „Germania”
in the year 98 AD. He recorded
Estonia and described the people of
Estonia: „Aestiorum gentes, their
customs, clothing and their unfamiliar
language.”
Estonia has been attractive to many
conquerors: the Teutonic Orders,
Danes, Swedes, Poles, Russians.
The independence of the Estonian
State is quite recent.
The Danish king, Valdermar II, conquered
Tallinn in 1219. According to
legend, the Danish flag Danebrog fell
from the sky during the battle. Tallinn’s
name may be derived from Taani +
linn (Danish + town).
Tallinn, Tartu, Pärnu and Viljandi
Tallinn’s medieval
city wall.
belonged to the Hanseatic League.
The Lübeck law came into effect in
Tallinn on 15 May 1248.
The times under the Swedish crown
(1561–1710) between the Livonian War
and the Northern War are remembered
in Estonian folklore as the Good Old
Swedish Times.
For 200 years (1710–1918) Estonia was
governed by Russian emperors and
escaped from the worst Russification
thanks to the Baltic German landowners,
who maintained a special Baltic rule.
After the Declaration of Independence
on 24 February 1918 and the War of
Independence that ended with the Tartu
Peace Treaty, Estonia was independent
for 22 years. The Tartu Peace Treaty
is one of the very few treaties where
Russia acknowledges her defeat.
As a result of the Molotov-Ribbentrop
pact, Estonia was occupied by the
Soviet Union in 1940 and eventually
restored her independence on
20 August 1991.
The end of 1980ies is called the Singing
Revolution – people held huge singing
rallies to protest against Soviet occupation.
On 23 August 1989 Estonians, Latvians
and Lithuanians joined their hands
to form a 530 km long Baltic Chain
connecting the three Baltic capitals.
The Soviet – then already ex-soviet –
forces left Estonia on 31 August 1994,
thus ending World War II in Estonia.
Estonia became member of NATO
and EU in 2004.

Estonian Economic Overview
Economic growth
accelerates
tekst: Olavi Grünvald,
(PricewaterhouseCoopers)
2010
was the year of
recovery from the
economic crisis in
Estonia as well as
in the European
Union as a whole. According to Statistics Estonia,
the Estonian GDP growth rate increased to 5.0
percent in the third quarter of 2010 compared to
the same period of 2009, which is the second consecutive
growth quarter after nine successive quarters
of decline. Although the external sector is
considered to be the locomotive of the growth, the
statistics show that domestic demand is recovering
at the same pace as total GDP. In the first three
quarters of last year the GDP increased by 1.9
percent, which is very close to the two-percent
threshold expected by many analysts for a the
whole of 2010.
This growth pattern continued to be strong also
in the last quarter of 2010, which makes expectations
likely to come true. The locomotive of the
upturn has been industrial production, which grew
by 23 percent in 2010 compared to the previous
year, but oscillated between 35-39 percent in its
last three months. This was influenced most by the
branches holding bigger shares – manufacturing of
electronic products, where production increased
by nearly two times, and manufacturing of wood,
where production grew by more than a quarter.
When Estonia was the country with the largest
decrease in manufacturing production among the
EU Member States in the middle of 2009, with a
decline exceeding 30 percent, then since the 2nd
quarter of 2010 it has become the country with
the fastest growth in industrial production. The
growth of industrial production was mainly influenced
by external demand – more than two thirds
of the whole production of manufacturing was
sold on the external market. Demand on the do-
mestic market was significantly lower, but also
increased continually during the year. This is
confirmed by the figures of retail sales, which
decreased by 4 percent in 2010, but increased
in September 2010 and accelerated to 5 percent
in the last two months of the year.
Positive expectations for 2011
Prospects are good also for the current year, which
is demonstrated by the upward correction of the
expected GDP growth by analysts. The EBRD
has raised its growth expectation to 3.6 percent
compared to the 3.2 percent assumed for 2011 in
October 2010. Danske Bank has put its mark to
3.9 percent in its latest prognosis – in comparison
Lithuania and Latvia are expected to reach 3.6
and 2.9 percent respectively. The IMF is very
close to Danske, with its 3.6 percent and points at
the necessity for an active labour market policy,
as unemployment, which is currently at a very
high level, is about to decrease very slowly.
The institutions with a stronger local presence
seem to be even more optimistic. LHV Pank is
backing its 4.8-percent prognosis with trust in
an increase of household consumption and investment
activities. According to LHV the export
markets will continue to support the economy,
and as a result investments into new technology
are inevitable to adjust to production capacity.
Household consumption is expected to benefit
from the increasing income, decreasing unemployment
and improving consumer confidence.
On the other side, the biggest local bank, Swedbank
has lowered its growth prognosis slightly,
from 4.5 percent in September last year to 4.2
percent in January of the current year. This is
because of a pessimistic view of internal demand
and more specifically due to the dragging investment
activities. The exceptional winter condi-

Stock exchange
continues its recovery
Similar to the global market, the small Baltic stock
exchanges continued the turning pattern in 2010
that had started already in the second half of 2009.
Tallinn and Vilnius stock exchange indexes have
moved very closely since the start of the recovery
but have decoupled from the third Baltic exchange,
the OMX Riga. The latter has stagnated
since mid 2010. In 2010 the Tallinn stock exchange
index rocketed by 73 percent, the biggest
growth ratio in the history of OMX Tallinn.
Vilnius and Riga performed just as well with 56
percent and 41percent respectively. In the same
year globally, the developed markets stock indexes
increased on average by 9 percent and the
developing markets by 16 percent.
One can monitor two steep upturns of the OMX
Tallinn index since the beginning of 2010, which
can be related to the euro. The first jump took
place in January 2010, when it was evident that
the euro criteria would be met by the country.
This was followed by a stabilisation or even downturn
period up to July. The latter, which actually
started at the beginning of May, is specifically
drawn back to the peak of the Greece credit crisis
and the fear that this could influence the other
euro zone countries.
The second jump happened on January 1,
2011, together with the launch of the euro in the
country. This seems to undermine the hypothesis
that the elimination of the currency risks and the
related decrease in interest rates would have the
most immediate effect on the prices of financial
assets. The longer historical trend line however
does not support this fully when compared with
Lithuania.
Although the index seems to have calmed
down after the first outbursts of emotion, analysts
forecast a solid rise also for the whole of 2011.
They expect the index to grow by 15% to 35%
based on the solid macroeconomic fundamentals.
Capitalization of the main list of OMX Tallinn
has fallen heavily since 2007, when it was EUR
4.1 billion, to EUR 1.8 billion in the beginning
of 2011. Beside the crisis the reason for the deeconomy
tions, which some enjoy, many claim have
notably contributed to this. The positive sides of
the reserved investment activities are the decreasing
debt burden of the Estonian residents as well
as a decrease in foreign debt of the Estonian
economy – the latter was considered the biggest
risk to the economy in pre-euro times.

cline was the fact that there have been only two
newcomers to the market since 2007, Arco Vara
(2007) and Premia Foods (2010), but many large
companies have left, including Estonian Telecom
and Norma (Autoliv), the seat belt producer.
The companies that have suffered the most
due to the credit downturn are at the top of the
best performers today. The biggest gainers in
2010 were Silviano Fashion Group by 250 percent,
Tallink Group with 114 percent and Olympic
Entertainment Group with 94 percent. The
loser in 2010 was Tallinna Vesi with a 21% drop.
Reasons for this decrease are a huge dividend
payout as well as uncertainties related to water
prices because of a new law that sets price limits
for monopolies. Most of the listed companies
managed to improve their results due to improving
markets and adjustments made during the
crisis. Silvano also had a share buyback and is in
a very decent situation financially. Tallink recorded
record numbers in passenger and cargo volumes.
Reasons for the hike of Olympic shares are
the successful opening of an online casino and
the opening of numerous casinos in new markets
like Slovakia.

Filmiprodutsent Riina Sildose käe all on hakanud filmielu elama sellised
linateosed nagu „Polli päevikud“, „Leiutajateküla Lotte“, „Klass“, „Mina olin siin“.
Tänavu kevadel valmib Riina Sildose osalusel ka
teine täispikk Lotte multifilm „Lotte ja kuukivi saladus“
ning Pariisis on käimas mängufilmi „Veel üks
croissant“ võtted, mille produtsendiks ta samuti on.
„Veel üks croissant“ on Eesti-Prantsuse-Belgia
koostööfilm, mille ettevalmistamine on olnud päris pikk ja aeganõudev
protsess. Filmi stsenarist ja režissöör on Ilmar Raag,
kelle käe all valmis samuti Riina produtseeritud, koolivägivallast
pajatav linateos „Klass“, mida võib pidada üheks läbi aegade
edukaimaks Eesti filmiks – see on müüdud 91 riiki ja saanud
enam kui 70 rahvusvaheliselt festivalilt 25 auhinda.
Täispikk animafilm „Lotte ja kuukivi saladus“ valmib Eesti
Joonisfilmi ja Läti filmitootmisfirma Rija Films koostööna.
Eesti kinopublik näeb filmi mais, seejärel algab filmi rahvusvaheline
elu. Eelmine lugu „Leiutajateküla Lotte“ valmis 2006
ja vallutas laste südamed ka mujal maailmas, filmi on nähtud
enam kui 55 riigis.
Filmi „Veel üks croissant“ puhul räägiti palju prantsuse
tippnäitleja Gérard Depardieu palkamisest, kellega pidasite
läbirääkimisi. Miks on nii oluline kuulsa näitleja – seekord
siis filmilegend Jeanne Moreau – kaasamine ja miks kaup
Depardieuga katki jäi?
Mulle meeldivad need spekulatsioonid – kõigile meeldib
näitlejaid rollidesse paigutada ja unistada.
Filmi tegemine on pikk protsess ja näitlejate
valik on üks väga oluline osa sellest,
sest sellega on eriti mujal maailmas seotud
ka filmi finantseerimine. Rahvusvaheliselt
tuntud näitleja tagab teatud huvi filmi
vastu ning vastavalt ka sissetuleku. Loomulikult
ei saa see kindlustada filmile 100%
edu. Kui lugu on nõrk, siis esimestel nädalatel
vaatajad võib-olla tulevad kinno oma
lemmiknäitlejat vaatama, aga edaspidi
huvi hääbub. Depardieu kõrval kaalusime
ka teisi prantsuse meesnäitlejaid. Prantsusmaal
on kolm globaalset meesstaari, kuid
kahjuks ei sobinud ükski neist oma tüpaažilt
meie filmi.
Jeanne Moreau kaasamisest unistasime
pikalt ning mul on hea meel, et ta luges
stsenaariumi kahe päevaga läbi ja oli kohe
nõus. Prantsuse näitlejatel on oma agendid,
kes räägivad läbi peamiselt prantslastega,
ja Eesti filmitootjatel on raske jalga
ukse vahele saada. Ilmar Raag on küll
ennast tõestanud filmitegijana – „Klass“
on olnud enneolematult edukas –,
aga prantslaste jaoks on Ilmar võõras, tundmatu nimi. Seda
enam tegi heameelt Jeanne Moreau usaldus tema vastu.
Lotte ja
ja kuukivi saladus
Polli
päevikud
Milles seisneb Ilmar Raagi filmi „Klass“ fenomen?
See on erakordne linateos, dramaturgiliselt väga tugev.
Osatäitjad on ühtlasi ka loo kaasautorid. Noored mängisid
enda jaoks tavapärases keskkonnas – neile sobis teema teravus,
ausus ja otsekohesus.
Koolivägivalla probleem on ju ülemaailmne: näiteks Venemaalt
tuli lainena kirju ja nende hulgas polnud ainsatki negatiivset.
Venelased mõistsid seda filmi väga hästi. Kahjuks peame
tõdema, et filmis näidatud vaimne vägivald ümbritseb meid
iga päev. See on osa olelusvõitlusest, mida võib ette tulla nii tööl
kui ka perekonnas. Seetõttu on sihtgrupp, kellele see film korda
läheb, väga suur – ja see on hirmutav.
Teiselt poolt on loomulikult ka inimesi, kes on öelnud, et film
annab liiga tugeva emotsiooni ning nad ei suuda seda vaadata.
Need on inimesed, kes on tulnud turvalisest keskkonnast ja elavadki
õnnelikku, harmoonilist elu. Nemad ei ole selliste probleemidega
kokku puutunud ja seetõttu on neil psüühiliselt
keeruline seda filmi taluda.
„Klass“ on Eesti ühiskonnas aidanud kaasa diskussiooni puhkemisele
ja see on näide sellest, kuidas kunst võib aidata kaasa
maailma päästmisele. Väga julge samm oli sellist filmi teha.
Teatud hulk õpetajaid tahtis seda isegi
ära keelata, mis näitas, et puudutame
väga teravat teemat ja oleme sisenemas
n-ö keelatud alale.
Film eelnes traagilistele sündmustele
Soomes – koolitulistamisele. Soome on
ka üks väheseid riike, kuhu „Klassi“ ei ole
müüdud. Olen mitmeid kordi rääkinud
oma Soome kolleegidega ja nende jaoks ei
olnud seda teemat võimalik ekraanilt vaadata
– liiga vara ja liiga valus. See ajendas
meid arendama ka teleseriaali, mis käsitleks
sündmusi pärast koolitulistamist.
Film püstitas küsimusi ja teleseriaal
püüdis leida vastuseid.
Mis on Lotte filmi fenomen?
Filmil „Leiutajateküla Lotte“ oli Eesti
kinos vaatajaid 56 000, millega tal on
kindel koht Eesti filmide vaadatavuse
esikümnes läbi aegade. Filmi edu taga on
eeskätt Heiki Ernitsa väga hea kunstnikutöö,
Janno Põldma loodud värvikad karakterid
ning Lotte maailma heatahtlikkus.
See on erandlik, sest enamasti on lastelood

persoon
mustvalged: seal käib tants, trall ja tagaajamine.
Lotte puhul on olemas galerii, kuhu mahuvad
kümned tegelaskujud. See on turvaline keskkond,
kus puudub vägivald ja probleeme lahendatakse
huumori ning absurdinaljaga.
Kuna olukordade lahendused ja tegelaste mõttemaailm
ei ole Lotte filmis tavapärased, siis panevad
need lapsi kaasa mõtlema, rikastavad nende
maailma. Lotte on parim lapsehoidja maailmas.
Mäletan isegi, kuidas võisin rahuliku südamega
jätta lapse Lotte hoolde ehk Lotte filmi vaatama.
Mind hämmastas, et mu tütar võis vaadata filmi
neli korda päevas ja kaks kuud järjest. Alati leidis
ta sealt midagi uut, sest Lotte filmi iga kaader on
lihtsalt niivõrd detailirikas. Näiteks Lotte tuba –
kõik detailid on hoolikalt valitud ja läbi joonistatud,
igal pildil, maakaardil, trepil on oma lugu.
„Lotte ja kuukivi saladus“ linastub kevadel.
Milliste ootustega läheb meeskond oma
uue filmiga vaatajate ette?
Usun Lotte tegijatesse ning prognoosin samasugust
edu, nagu oli eelmisel filmil. Uus film on
dramaturgiliselt minu arvates isegi huvitavam.
Ka seekord on Lottel pikk ja põnev teekond ees,
mille käigus ta viibib kõige uskumatumates
kohtades ja kohtub toredate tegelaskujudega.
Ka filmi visuaalne külg on lummav.
Kust tekkis idee hakata Lotte kaubamärgi
all erinevaid tooteid müüma?
See oli väga lihtne ja kuidagi loogiline jätk filmile
endale. Vaatasin oma last, kes vaimustus Pipi
kummikutest, ning mõtlesin, miks ei võiks ta
rõõmustada hoopis Lotte kummikute üle. Juba
algusest peale oli meie sooviks tuua lapsed
spordi ja tervisliku toitumise juurde.
Me ei anna Lotte kaubamärki välja kergekäeliselt:
pakkumisi tuleb iga nädal, aga kaalume
hoolega, kellele ja miks seda kasutada anda.
Lotte tooted peavad lapsi arendama.
Filmi tegemine on pikk protsess. Kui pikalt
sa ette tead, mis filmid on Eestis tulemas?
Tean oma plaane aastani 2018, tavapäraselt läheb
idee tekkimisest ekraanile jõudmiseni vähemalt
3–5 aastat. Suurte filmide puhul aga tunduvalt
kauem. Eks see ole seotud ka sellega, et elame
tillukesel turul ja suure eelarvega filmi on keeruline
rahastada – eelarved algavad 2-3 miljonist eurost,
aga meie maksimumtoetus filmifondidest on
500 000 eurot.
Olen kümme aastat korraldanud Pimedate
Ööde filmifestivali ajal rahvusvahelist kaastootmisturgu
nimega Baltic Event, mis on kujunenud
Põhja- ja Ida-Euroopa suurimaks filmituruks.
Selle käigus valitakse Skandinaaviast, Venemaalt,
Eestist, Lätist, Leedust ning Kesk- ja Ida-Euroopa
riikidest välja ligi 20 filmiprojekti, mida tutvustatakse
võimalikele rahastajatele.
Väga suur osa minu ajast kulubki filmiprojektide
lugemisele. Lisaks nendele, mis laekuvad meie,
Rotterdami, Berliini ja Cannes’i filmifestivali
kaastootmisturgudele, pean olema kursis ka teiste
Euroopa filmiprojektidega. Selle info põhjal tekib
maatriks filmitööstuses toimuvast. Suudan prognoosida,
millal üks või teine film läheb tootmisesse
ja kui edukas see saab olema. Aga mingi
kummaline x-faktor on siiski filmikunstis alati
olemas. Maagia, mis on seletamatu. Vahel võib
üks väike film saavutada enneolematu edu, teinekord
täiesti korralik linateos aga läbi kukkuda,
isegi kui on tehtud professionaalsed turunduskampaaniad.
On see ilm, meeleolu, meediamüra,
mis segab, ei tea...
Milline on su lemmikfilm?
Esimesena tuleb meelde „Kodanik Kane“, mis oli
ka minu diplomitöö teemaks. Viimase aja eredamaks
elamuseks on Iñárritu „Baabel“. Eesti filmide
puhul ei taha eelistust välja tuua, sest nendega
on enamasti emotsionaalne side.
Miks sa ajad rahvusvahelist filmiäri?
Olen valinud sellise tee. Tean, et lihtsam oleks
toota väikse eelarvega Eesti filme. Meil on suurepäraseid
autoreid ja tahan, et neid tuntaks ka
väljaspool Eestit. Tahan vahetada meie lugusid,
elusid, mõtteid teiste kultuuridega.
Aga mingi kummaline
X-faktor on siiski
filmikunstis alati olemas.

Estonian film producer, Riina Sildos, has played an important
role in the making of films, such as „The Poll Diaries”,
„Lotte from Gadgetville”, „The Class” and „I Was Here”.
Spring 2011 sees the release of the
second feature-length animated
film about the cheerful puppy girl
called „Lotte and the Moonstone
Secret”, produced by Riina Sildos.
At the same time another feature film „One
More Croissant” produced by her is underway
in Paris.
„One More Croissant” is a joint film
production of Estonia, France and Belgium,
the preparation of which has been
rather long and time consuming. The
scriptwriter and director of the film is Ilmar
Raag who also directed Sildos’ production
„The Class” which is by far the most successful
Estonian film ever – it has been sold
to 91 countries, participated in 70 international
film festivals and received 25 awards.
The feature-length animated film „Lotte
and the Moonstone Secret” was produced
in co-operation by two production companies,
Eesti Joonisfilm from Estonia and Rija
Films from Latvia. In Estonia, the film is
screened in May after which it goes on international
release. The first animated film
about Lotte – „Lotte from Gadgetville”, was
released in 2006 and soon won the hearts
of children in more than 55 countries.
There was a lot of talk about engaging
top French actor, Gérard Depardieu,
to play in the feature film, “One More
Croissant”. Why didn’t it work out with
Depardieu and why is it so important to
cast someone famous?
I just love the speculations that come with the territory. Filmmaking
is a long process and casting is a very important part of it
as it is directly connected with financing, especially abroad. Internationally
famous actors guarantee a certain level of interest
in the film and box office earnings accordingly. Film stars alone,
however, do not guarantee the 100 per cent success of the film.
When the story is weak, people come to see their favourite actor
during the first few weeks but after the general release of the film
they tend to lose interest. We also considered other French male
actors for the role – there are three international stars in France
– but unfortunately none of them quite suited us for the role in
question.
We dreamed of casting Jeanne Moreau as from the very beginning
and I am glad she agreed to read the script – which she
did in just two days – and accepted the role. French actors have
agents who prefer to negotiate mainly with the French and
therefore Estonian producers have a hard time
getting noticed. Although Ilmar Raag has
proven himself as a director and „The Class”
has been extremely successful, for the French,
he is still an unfamiliar name. Therefore,
I am extremely glad Jeanne Moreau put
her faith in him.
What is the appeal of „The Class”
by Ilmar Raag?
It is an exceptionally strong film based on
an exceptionally good script. The actors are
also the co-authors of the story i.e. young
people who played in surroundings familiar
to them and they loved the acuteness,
honesty and bluntness of the story.
The issue of school violence is universal.
For instance, we received an awful lot of letters
from Russia and there was not a single
one among them saying negative things about
the film. Russians related to the theme well.
Unfortunately, we were compelled
to admit that the kind of psychological
violence shown in the film is everywhere
around us. It is perhaps part of the struggle for
existence that is manifest in a workplace or in
a family. Therefore, the target audience of the
film is very large – and it is frightening.
On the other hand, there are people who
have said that they could not watch the film
as it arises emotions too powerful to deal with.
As a rule, these are people coming from a safe
environment, people living happy and harmonious
lives. They have not been forced to face
this kind of problems and thus it is psychologically hard for
them to watch the film.
In Estonia, “The Class” has contributed to the discussion
in society about it being a good example of how art contributes
to the “saving” of the world. I believe it was a very brave move
to make this kind of film. Several school teachers even sought
the banning of the film which proved that we had hit a nerve
and were breaking taboos.
The film anticipated the unfortunate event of the school
shooting in Finland – one of the few countries where “The
Class” has not been shown. I have discussed the film with my
Finnish colleagues on several occasions and every time they
have said that they could not watch the film – as it was too soon
after the tragedy and too painful. This was partly why I decided
to make a TV series that would deal with the events after the
school shooting. The film left a lot of questions unanswered and
the TV series tries to deal with them.

What is the phenomenon of the
Lotte-story?
The first film, “Lotte from Gadgetville”,
attracted 56,000 viewers in Estonia
– securing it a place in the top 10 of most
popular Estonian films ever. The success
of the film has much to do with the good
artistic work of Heiki Ernits, the colourful
characters created by Janno Põldma and
the benevolence of Lotte’s world. The
latter is an exception because, as a rule,

children’s stories tend to be black and white – there is the good
and the evil and a struggle between them. The Lotte-story, however,
features dozens of characters in a safe environment where
there is no room for violence and where problems are solved
with humour or even surreal humour.
As the solutions to certain situations as well as the way of
thinking of the characters are rather unconventional it makes
children think, enriching their world. I would even say that
Lotte is the best baby-sitter in the world. I remember the time
I could leave my child in Lotte’s care – that is I could leave
her watching the Lotte film. I was amazed by the fact that my
daughter could watch the film four times a day for two months
in a row. And every time she discovered something new because
every frame is so rich in detail. Every object in Lotte’s room,
for example, has been carefully chosen and drawn in detail –
it almost seems that every picture, map or staircase has a story
to tell. Every time you watch the film there is another surprise
in store for you.
“Lotte and the Moon Rock Secret” is released in the
spring. What are the expectations of the filmmakers?
I have faith in the filmmakers and expect the film to be
as successful as the previous one. My personal opinion is
that the script of the new film is even stronger. Lotte goes
on a long and exciting journey, she visits fabulous places
and meets fabulous characters. The visual side of the film
is also enchanting.
Filmmaking is long process. How far ahead do you plan
what Estonian films are to be screened?
Right now my personal schedule is planned until 2018.
Usually it takes between three to five years to make a film
and, in the case of bigger films, even longer. This is due to
the fact that our market is small and it is difficult to finance
films with a budget from two or three million euros when
the maximum grant of our film foundations is 500,000
euros.
For ten years I have organised the international Baltic
Event Co-production Market in the framework of the Black
Nights Film Festival and it has become the largest film
market in Northern and Eastern Europe. The aim of the
market is to select 20 film projects from Scandinavia, Russia,
Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and countries of Central and
Eastern Europe and introduce them to potential financers.
A large part of my work involves assessing different film
projects. In addition to the ones presented to the Baltic
Event co-production market as well as those of the Rotterdam,
Berlin and Cannes film festivals I must be familiar
with other European film projects as well. Based on this
information I get a fairly adequate picture of the current
situation in the film industry and I am able to predict when
a certain film should go into production and how successful
it will be. But there is always the mysterious X-factor in the
film business. The magical element no one is able to foresee.
Sometimes a rather marginal film enjoys an extraordinary
success while quality films fail despite of professional
marketing campaigns. Is it because of the weather conditions,
state of mind or other media events that contribute...
I can not say.
What is your favourite film?
“Citizen Kane” is the first to come to mind – even my diploma
thesis was based on it. When talking about more recent
films, I was deeply impressed by Alejandro González Iñárritu’s
“Babel”. I would not like to talk about my preferences concerning
Estonian films as I have an emotional bond with most of
them. All the films have been part of a certain stage in my life
and have, therefore, been significant.
Why are you involved in the international film business?
I made my choice even when knowing that it would probably
be much easier to produce Estonian films with small budgets.
We have talented filmmakers, however, and my mission is to
introduce them beyond Estonia, to exchange our stories, our
way of life and our thoughts with other cultures.

Tuntud frankofiil ja koolipapa Lauri Leesi kirjutab oma viimasest reisist ning
jagab kogemusi, kuidas Pariisi külastamisest võimalikult palju rõõmu tunda.
Kui ma 3. jaanuaril reisilt koju jõudsin,
hüüatas naabriproua mind kohvriga
treppidel nähes: „Jälle Pariisist?” –
„Jälle.” – „Mitmes kord, seitsmekümnes?”
– „Ei, kuuekümne neljas.” –
„Ära ei tüüta?” – „Mis te nüüd!”
Rahvamassist mööda
Kas mul seekord Pariisi asja ka oli? Oli. Grand
Palais’s oli üleval Claude Monet’ maailmanäitus
ja Opéra-Bastille’s etendati Nurejevi lavastatud
„Luikede järve“. Nüüd küsib nutikas maailmarändur,
kuidas saab külastada Monet’ näitust,
kui hoone ees on 800 meetri pikkune järjekord ja
sees on rahvast nii, et tapab. Vastan: kellaajalise
täpsusega näitusepiletid ostsin internetist
septembris ja balletietendusele oktoobris.
Seekord ei olnud ma valguse linnas üksi, vaid
seitsme kolleegiga. Kui juba grupi või suguvõsaga
Pariisi sõita, ongi arv kaheksa (seitse + giid) ideaalne!
Selline minigrupp mahub ära kahte taksosse
või ühte mikrobussi; nii pääseb kergemini kohvikusse
– kaks lauda lükatakse kokku ja ongi rahvas
toidetud! Selline grupp tunneb end maailmalinnas
turvaliselt, sest grupijuht on pilguulatuses
metroos, tänaval, isegi Montmartre’il ja Champs-
Élysées’l, kus on tõesti suur oht rahvahulka ära
kaduda. Kuid Pariis on turvaline linn: iga paarisaja
meetri järel ilutseb rahustav täht M (metroo),
kuhu eksinud turist peab sisenema, et koduhotelli
randuda.
Ideaalsed seitse päeva
Reisi daatum paigas, tuleb internetis lennupiletid
osta ja hotell kinni panna. Kui lendate suvel,
eelistage Estonian Airi, millega jõuate Roissy
Charles-de-Gaulle’i lennujaama terminali nr 1.
Teadke, et Roissy on küla nimi ja seal paiknevad
lennujaama terminalid 1, 2 ja 3. Linna sõitke bussiga
(Roissybus), mis peatub ukse 32/34 vastas.
Võite ka rongiga (RER) linna sõita, kuid rongijaam
on veidi eemal ja sinna toimetab teid tasuta
sõiduk. Mina eelistan bussi, mis viib mind Ooperihooneni.
Sealt lähen hotelli jalgsi.
Ideaalne on Pariisis veeta seitse päeva. Arvestades
Estonian Airi lennugraafikut, tuleks Pariisi
lennata teisipäeval. Kui teie käsutuses on viis päeva,
lennake Pariisi ikkagi teisipäeval ja tagasi pühapäeval.
Kuna enamik muuseume on teisipäeval
suletud, kulubki esimene päev saabumise, majutuse
ning kvartaliga tutvumise peale.
Kui järgite minu nõu, saate Pariisist meeldiva
elamuse, kui ei – süüdistage ennast. Vältige 1-2
tärniga hotelle! Rootsi lauaga hommikusöök
(buffet) algab kolmandast tärnist.
Hotell olgu Louvre’i või Ooperihoone läheduses!
Kui internetis otsida, saate 140–150 euro eest
korraliku chambre double’i. Booking.com on

kümme piletit. Ühekaupa ärge pileteid ostke.
Ise olen veelgi nutikam: juba lennujaamas ostan
kassast “Tourisme-Information“ nädalakaardi

metroosse, bussi ja Montmartre’i funikulöörile.
Samas müüakse 2-4-6 päeva muuseumikaarte
Museum Pass, millega saan külastada pea kõiki
muuseume. Muuseumikaardiga pole vaja pikas

Pariisis on palju muuseume, kuid kolm on
neist kohustuslikud: a) Louvre, b) Orsay muuseum
(impressionistid, neo- ja postimpressionistid,
juugend) ja c) Pompidou keskuse kaasaegse kunsti
muuseum (Kandinsky, Chagall, Modigliani jt).

hotellide reserveerimisportaalidest usaldusväärseim.
Loomulikult on neljatärnihotell veelgi
etem: toad suuremad, liftid mahukamad, hommikueine
kopsakam.
Kohe Louvre’ist üle tee paiknev Hôtel du
Louvre on ideaalne neile, kes minust jõukamad
(seal on ka hea köök). Ise peatun sama hoone
kõrval asuvas Normandy’s, kus kahe inimese toa
hinnaks 170–180 eurot. Rivoli tänava head hotellid
Regina, Brighton jt on üliarmsad ööbimiskohad,
kuid minu jaoks on nad kallid: 230–300
eurot tuba. Lähedal paiknevad ka unelmate
lossid Le Meurice, Crillon ja Ritz. Neis tuleb
toa eest välja käia 700–1000 eurot. Siin kuuleb
tihti vene keelt.
Kaart kaasa
Tallinna lennujaamas võtke Estonian Airi kassast
Pariisi kaart, et sellega lennu ajal tutvuda. Kohe
märkate, et Seine’i jõgi jagab linna kaheks. Jõest
põhja poole jääb parem kallas, jõest alla vasak
kallas. (Mina peatun paremal kaldal, sest suurem
osa vaatamisväärsustest on siin.)
Nüüd otsige üles kvartal, kus paikneb
teie hotell, ja vaadake, mis
nime kannab lähim metroopeatus.
Pariisi metroo ei ole maa-alune palee nagu
Moskvas või Peterburis, kuid ta viib teid kõikjale.
Ettevaatust: Pariisis on kaks metrood:
M – tavaline metroo ja RER – kiirmetroo,
mis ühendab perifeerseid asumeid
linnaga. Linnas läheb teil vaja esimest.
Kassas öelge eestipäraselt „Ö(n)
karnee, silvuplee!“ (üks komplekt,
palun) ja te saate kümne euro eest
Kui järgite
minu nõu,
saate
Pariisist
meeldiva
elamuse,
kui ei –
süüdistage
ennast.
Kus süüa?
Teadke, et sõnad café, restaurant ja brasserie on
tänapäeval sünonüümid. Uhkel disainil ja toidu
kvaliteedil ei tarvitse olla mingit seost. Eelistage
kohti, kus palju kohalikku rahvast. Vältige lokaale,
mis vaatamisväärtuste vahetus läheduses!
Maailma esikokk Alain Ducasse vaaritab
hotelli Plaza Athénée esimese korruse restoranis.
See on üks linna seitsmest kolme Michelini tärniga
pärjatud “sööklatest“. Kui rahaga pole midagi
targemat teha, võib seda ka kõhtu investeerida!
Südalinnas õilmitsev Maxim’s on selles vallas
tuntud röövel.
Mida teha õhtul? Esimesel õhtul käige läbi
Champs-Élysées kogu selle säras ja uhkuses.
Alustage jalutuskäiku Tähe väljaku võidukaarest
ja lõpetage Concorde’i väljaku obeliskiga. Kui
Tuileries’ aia väravad veel lahti, minge Louvre’i
püramiidini. Teisel õhtul jalutage Montmartre’il.
Kolmandal õhtul külastage üht kolmest kabareest:
Moulin Rouge, Lido või Paradis Latin. Neljandal
õhtul patseerige kahel saarel, Cité’l ja Saint-
Louis’l. Jääbki üle Ladina kvartal ja Saint-
Germain-des-Prés, kus soovitan söögikohaks
linna vanimat kohvikut Le Procope. See on
taskukohane.
Juba saabumise päeval püüdke kaelast ära
saada kaks rituaali: käige ära Jumalaema kirikus
ja Eiffeli torni tipus.
Viimased soovitused: pass, lennupilet ja raha
jäägu hotelli seifi! Rahakotti panete igal hommikul
summa, mis ühe päevaga ära kulub! Suurtes
poodides maksate pangakaardiga! Daamid, kandke
käekotti mitte õlal, vaid kaelas! Veelgi mõistlikum:
daam annab raha ja pangakaardi meesterahva
kätte, kes hoiab neid oma pintsaku sisetaskus.
Kui nii toimite, jääb teile Pariisist
unustamatu mälestus.

samuti ühistranspordiliinid. Kasutusel on ühispiletid
(rong, tramm, buss, veesõidukid).
Zürichi rahvusvaheline lennujaam on vaid 10 kilomeetrit
linnast väljas, kesklinna saab sealt rongiga.
Zürichi pearaudteejaam on muide üks Euroopa
suuremaid raudteesõlmi.
Zürich West:
kõrvuti
moderne
ja klassikaline.
Mida vaadata?
Maailma panganduspealinnana tuntud
Zürichis on palju kauneid suurejoonelisi
ehitisi, väljakuid, eriilmelisi
kvartaleid ja parke. Kindlasti tasub
käia Augustinergasse tänaval ning
Paradeplatzil, millest hõngab sajanditetaguse
kaubalinna fluidumit.
Ostlejaile pakuvad elamusi pearaudteejaama
juurest algava Bahnhofstrasse
kaubandustänava lõputud
ostuvõimalused, ajaloohuvilistel
aga tasuks ära käia juba 853. aastal
asutatud Fraumünsteri kirikus ja
Grossmünsteri kirikus ning väisata
linna vanimat, Schipfe kvartalit.
Linnale avaneb suurepärane vaade
Lindenhofist. Kindlasti tuleks teha
üks õhtune jalutuskäik järveäärsel
promenaadil. Mitmekülgseid elamusi
nii kunsti, gastronoomia kui ka ostlemise
vallas pakub Zürich West.

INTIME I kevad/spring 2011

Paradeplatzilt
saab alustada
trammisõitu.
Belcanto pakub
maitsva toidu
kõrvale ka kaunist
järvevaadet.
Kus ööbida?
Zürichis on vähemalt 250 ööbimispaika,
seljakotituristide hostelitest
alates kuni kõige luksuslikumate
hotellideni välja, igale maitsele ja
igale rahakotile sobivaid. Raudteejaama
ja vanalinna lähedal on
näiteks X-tra hotel (Limmatstrasse
18), kus kahene hommikusöögiga
tuba maksab talvel 214 Šveitsi
franki ehk 167 eurot öö.
On ka hulga odavamaid, näiteks
samas lähedal, üle jõe Niederdorfstrasse
5 asuv City Backpacker
/ Hotel Biber, kus ööbimine
neljases toas maksab hommikusöögita
vaid 47 franki. On ka noortehosteleid,
kus terve nelja voodiga
toa saab 42 frangi eest.
Kus süüa?
Söögipaiga valik sõltub sellest, kui suurt
rõhku maitseelamusele ja ka ilumeele
rahuldamisele pannakse. Ooperimajas
asuv Belcanto on näiteks vaid paariminutise
jalutuskäigu kaugusel järveäärsest
Bellevuestrassest, Zürichi klassikalist
ja modernset kokakunsti nautides võib
samas ka osa saada aknast paistvast
kaunist järvepanoraamist.
Šveitsi kulinaariat pakub näiteks eCHo
Marriotti hotellis. Muidugi on elustiili
pealinnaks nimetatud metropolis
saadaval ka Ameerika (Cheyenne),
Irokeesi (Iroquois), Tai (White Elephant),
Aasia (Restaurant du Lac), Itaalia
(Totò) ja muud rahvustoidud.
Siin on ka 1898. aastal Euroopa esimese
taimetoidurestoranina avatud Hiltl.
Kohvikuist pälvib tähelepanu Kunsthausi
ehk Zürichi kunstimuuseumi nurga taha
peituv Berner Da Noi oma küpsetiste, üle
linna kuulsate Wäheni puuviljatortidega,
soojemal ajal on kohvikul lauad ka väljas.
Zürichi kohvikud on enamasti väga stiilsed.
Ööklubid tuleb soovijatel endal üles
leida, paljud soovitavad Diagonali.
sihtkoht
Millal minna?
Uusi trende lillekasvatuses ja aianduses
pakub näiteks 16.–20. märtsini
messikeskuses peetav Giardina-

10.-11. aprillil toimub iga-aastane
Zürichi gildide kevadfestival Sechseläuten
– ajaloolistes kostüümides

CRJ
jõudis koju
Jean-Guy Blondin,
Andrus Aljas, Joakim Helenius
ja Anne Woodyatt ja kuldvõtmeke.
25. jaanuari hommikul maandus Tallinna lennuväljal Estonian Airi esimene
uus ilus Bombardier CRJ900 NextGen lennuk, registritunnusega
ES-ACB. 29. jaanuari hommikul saabus teine, ES-ACC. Allpool
mõned meenutused sellest, kuidas esimene lennuk koju jõudis.
Reede, 21. jaanuar
Pärastlõuna. Estonian Airi neljaliikmeline
delegatsioon naudib rahulikult lendu Amsterdamist
Montreali, kui tuleb KLM Dutch Airlinesi
stjuuard, jääb Estonian Airi presidendi Andrus
Aljase juurde seisma ja küsib: „Niisiis, kus teil
see suur kotitäis raha on?“
Vastuseks hämming meie kõigi silmades, pärast
mõõdukat pausi küsib Andrus: „Kuidas palun?“
Stjuuard (energiliselt): „Kus raha on? Ma kuulsin,
et te lähete Kanadasse lennukit tooma, siis teil
peaks ju olema kaasas suur kotitäis raha?“
Mõistvale naerule meie ridades järgneb sõbralik
vestlus sel teemal, mitu lennukit on Estonian Airil,
kuhu me CRJ900 NextGen lennukitega lendama
hakkame jne. Natukese aja pärast tuleb lennuki
kapten ja küsib, kas Estonian Airi president sooviks
tõelise lennuki kokpitti külastada.
Vastab Estonian Airi
president Andrus Aljas
Miks regional jet?
Mõte, et Estonian Airi koduturule
sobiksid lendama kõige paremini
regional jet tüüpi (väiksemad,
vähem kui 100 istekohaga) lennukid,
on tegelikult tänaseks rohkem
kui kümme aastat vana.
Lennunduses nii oluline seat cost
(kulu istekoha kohta) ei ole väikestel
turgudel kõige parem argument,
kuna reisijatele sobivate
tihedate lennugraafikute pakkumiseks
muutub meie jaoks esmase
tähtsusega faktoriks cost per
roundtrip (kulu edasi-tagasi lennu
kohta). Ning see on regional
jet tüüpi lennukitel oluliselt madalam
kui suurematel lennukitel.
Miks Bombardier?
Regional jet tüüpi lennukeid toodab
seeriatootmises hetkel maailmas
ainult kaks valmistajat –
kanadalaste Bombardier teeb
CRJ tüüpi lennukeid ning brasiillaste
Embraer E-jet tüüpi lennu-

Jäine Montreal.
Meie meelest on CRJ900 NextGen sama tõeline
lennuk kui MD-11, aga Andrus võtab lahke kutse
siiski vastu ja vestleb pikalt elust ja tööst KLMis
kapteniga, kellele see on juhtumisi eelviimane lend
enne pensionileminekut. Estonian Airis ruleerib
pensionile minev kapten viimaselt lennult saabudes
lennukiga läbi tuletõrjeautode abil tekitatud vesiväravate,
KLMi viimase lennu traditsiooniks on
võimalus valida ise oma unistuste tiim.
Esmaspäev, 24. jaanuar
Hommik. Pärast nädalavahetust jääkülmas, ligi
kolmekümne miinuskraadini langenud temperatuuriga
Montrealis on lõpuks ometi käes see päev,
mil Estonian Air saab kätte oma uhiuue sinilinnu.
Bombardieri tehases Mirabelis kruvitakse põnevust
ülevaatega Bombardieri eri mudelitest ja tootmisest.
Seejärel suundume ekskursioonile mööda
lennukitehast, kus näidatakse valmimise eri
etappides olevaid lennukeid.
Viimase angaari tagumisest otsast paistab maailma
kõige ilusam sinine saba! Selleks ajaks, kui
sinna jõuame, on lennuki ette sätitud punane vaip
ja toolirivid – Estonian Airi esimene Bombardier
CRJ900 NextGen on tõesti üleandmiseks valmis.
Lõuna. Pärast lühikest elevil sagimist lennuki
ümber ja sees võtame istet ja tseremoonia algab.
Tänusõnu ja häid soove jagavad Bombardieri
CRJ-programmi direktori Jean-Guy Blondin ning
Bombardieri asepresident Anne Woodyatt. Juttu
on CRJ NextGen lennuki plussidest – täiustatud
interjöörist, väiksemast kütusekulust, madalamatest
käitamis- ja hoolduskuludest – ning eesmärgist
pakkuda imelist kliendikogemust („amazing customer
experience”). Seejärel kutsub Anne Woodyatt
Estonian Airi presidendi Andrus Aljase ja nõukogu
esimehe Joakim Heleniuse vastu võtma suurt
sümboolset lennukivõtit.
Joakim Helenius rõhutab uute lennukite olulist
rolli Estonian Airi strateegias, Andrus Aljas tänab
oma sõnavõtus soojalt Bombardieri ja Estonian
Airi tiimi – kõiki, kes on aastatepikkusesse protsessi
oma panuse andnud –, ning kinnitab, et lendame
õhtul tõesti selle lennukiga koju.
Töö selle nimel, et kogu mitut osapoolt (Estonian
Airi, Kanada Ekspordiagentuuri, Bombardieri
ja Eesti Lennuametit) hõlmav paberimajandus
saaks korda, on käinud sõna otseses mõttes viimase
minutini. ÕHUS on kergendust nii ühel kui ka
teisel pool Atlandi ookeani, kui kõik vajalik on
lõpuks tehtud ja olemas.
Pärastlõuna. Tseremooniale järgnenud lõunasöögi
järel tuleb Jean-Guy Blondin, teeb paar
telefonikõnet ja teatab siis, et kõik on valmis selkeid.
Bombardieri CRJ kasuks
sündis otsus tegelikult väga
lihtsalt – tegemist on hinnakvaliteedi-kasutusefektiivsuse
suhtena meie jaoks parima valikuga.
Lisandusid soodsatel tingimustel
tootjagarantiid ja erinevad
paketid lennukite võimalikult
sujuvaks kasutuselevõtuks.
Millised on olnud olulisemad
verstapostid ja pöördelised
hetked?
Tõsised läbirääkimised CRJde
ostuks algasid 2007. aasta teisel
poolel ning ostulepingule kirjutasime
Bombardieriga alla
2008. aasta jaanuaris. Lennuki
ost ning eriti lennuki ostu finantseerimine
on väga keeruline ja
kompleksne protsess ning Estonian
Airi puhul segasid vett
vahepeal saabunud majanduslangus
ning meie tolleaegse
suuromaniku SASi soov ettevõtte
osalus müüa. Sellises ebakindlas
seisus jäi kogu protsess
venima ning võttis lõpuks umbes
poolteist aastat kauem aega
kui esialgu planeeritud. Samas
uskus Estonian Air kogu aeg, et
kolm uut lennukit ühel päeval
Tallinnas maanduvad. Ka keerulises
olukorras on alati lahendus
olemas, kui seda kindlalt uskuda
ning selle nimel kõvasti tööd
teha. Pöördeliseks hetkeks oli
valitsuse otsus suurendada
osalust Estonian Airis, mis
andis lennukite ostu finantseerijatele
vajaliku kindluse ettevõtte
pikaaegse jätkusuutlikkuse osas.
Sellest hoolimata olid läbirääkimised
tehingu kõigi pooltega
keerulised ja lõplik lahendus
saabus alles 2010 augustis.
Mis tunne on nüüd, kui lennukid
on lõpuks käes?
See on ühelt poolt muidugi väga
hea tunne, teiselt poolt on see
alles protsessi algus. Uued lennukid
ei ole ju eesmärk omaette,
vaid ainult vahend ettevõtte
strateegia elluviimiseks. Selle
nimel, et Estonian Air jõuaks
stabiilsesse kasumisse ning
meie kliendid oleksid rahul nii
pakutavate lennuühenduste kui
ka teeninduse kvaliteediga, käib
igapäevane töö edasi. Aga loomulikult
on uute oma lennukite
maandumine Tallinnas Estonian
Airi jaoks märgilise tähendusega
sündmus, mida päris iga päev ei
juhtu. Seega on põhjus uhkust
tunda kõigil – nii meie töötajatel
kui ka klientidel!

The CRJ
comes home
Before take-off.
Jean-Guy Blondin,
Andrus Aljas, Joakim Helenius,
Anne Woodyatt and the Golden Key.
On the morning of January 25th, a brand
new Bombardier CRJ900 NextGen regional
jet, registration mark ES-ACB, purchased by
Estonian Air, landed in Tallinn Airport.
January 29th witnessed the arrival of
a second plane, the ES-ACC. The following
is a short overview of the events.
After take-off.
Friday, January 21
Afternoon. A four-member delegation from
Estonian Air is enjoying a peaceful flight from
Amsterdam to Montreal when a KLM Dutch Airlines
steward comes up to the President of Estonian
Air, Andrus Aljas, and demands: “So, where
is that big bag of money of yours?”
With our eyes reflecting nothing but bewilderment
Andrus asks after an unhurried pause: “Excuse
me?”
The steward repeats energetically: “Where’s
the money? I hear you are going to Canada to
purchase a plane, so you should be carrying a
big bag of money with you.”
Our hearty laughter at this was followed by a
friendly conversation concerning the number of
airplanes currently operated by Estonian Air, on
what routes our new CRJ900 NextGen are going
to fly and so on. After a while the captain of the
plane comes and asks whether Andrus would like
to visit the cockpit of a “real” airplane.
We are of the opinion that the CRJ900 Next-
Gen is as real an airplane as the MD-11 in which
we are currently flying, but Andrus accepts the
kind offer and talks for a long time about life and
work with the KLM captain who, as it turns out, is
on his last but one flight before retiring. Estonian
Air has a tradition that a retiring captain, upon
returning from his last flight, taxies in through the
watery gates formed by the water jets of fire trucks.
In KLM, however, the retiring captain has the
privilege to choose the dream team for his last
flight.
Monday, January 24
Morning. After having spent a weekend in a
freezing Montreal with a temperature of 30 degrees
below zero, the day when Estonian Air is to
get its brand new aircraft finally dawns. At the
Bombardier Aerospace plant in Mirabel, tension is
being notched up by giving us an overview of the
different aircraft models produced by Bombardier,
after which we head off for a tour of the plant to
get an in-depth understanding of the different
production stages.

And then, at the very end of the final hangar we
see the most beautiful blue tail of an airplane! By
the time we make our way there, a red carpet and
chairs have appeared in front of the plane – everything
is ready for the handover ceremony of the
first Estonian Air Bombardier CRJ900 NextGen!
Midday. Following a period of brief and excited
commotion inside as well as around the plane
we take our seats and the ceremony begins. The
Bombardier CRJ programs director, Jean-Guy
Blondin, and Vice President, Anne Woodyatt, say
their words of thanks and wish the plane and its
crew all the best. They also speak of the advantages
of the CRJ NextGen regional jets, such as the
stylish cabin interior, lower fuel consumption and
lower maintenance and servicing costs, as well as
the company’s aim of offering an „amazing customer
experience”. Anne Woodyatt then asks the
President of Estonian Air, Andrus Aljas, and the
Chairman of the Council, Joakim Helenius, to
accept the large ceremonial key to the airplane.
Joakim Helenius emphasizes in his speech
the important role the new planes will play in the
Estonian Air strategy and Andrus Aljas, in turn,
thanks the Bombardier and Estonian Air teams in
his warm and emotional address – everybody who
has contributed to the long production process
– and assures us that we are to fly home in the
evening with the very same plane.
Completing all necessary paperwork by several
parties (Estonian Air, Export Development Canada,
Bombardier and Estonian Civil Aviation Administration)
has lasted up to the very last minute
and everybody is relieved, on both sides of the
Atlantic, when everything is finally signed and
sealed.
Afternoon. After the ceremony and the following
lunch, Jean-Guy Blondin makes a couple
of phone calls and tells us that everything is ready
for us to take off sometime after 5 p.m. (in Estonia,
it is past midnight). Several quick press releases
and blog postings later we bid a warm farewell
to our hosts and the following minutes seem like a
dream: I open the door of the plant’s nice kitchenette,
step outside and start walking. There are no
tedious customs procedures, only the plane standing
a few steps away in the dusk, stairs invitingly
waiting. I pause for a moment – this is it then…
Estonian Air
fleet during
the first
20 years
Estonia’s national carrier,
Estonian Air, was founded as
a state-owned public limited
company on December 1, 1991
after the restoration of Estonian
independence.
Estonian Air inherited from
Aeroflot, the Soviet Union
airline, twelve Antonov AN-2,
twelve Tupolev TU-134A and
four Jakovlev JAK-40 type
planes.
Estonian Air sold the AN-2 type
planes rather quickly — the last
of them being deleted from the
national civil aircraft register
in 1996. The TU-134A type
planes were in service until
1996. Estonian Air sold the last
JAK-40 type plane in 1998.
In 1995, Estonian Air leased
its first new Boeing 737-500.
The first Fokker 50 was leased
in 1996 and Estonian Air operated
altogether four Fokker
50 planes, the last one was
redelivered in 2004.
In 2006, Estonian Air got
its first Boeing 737-300.
Estonian Air has operated
altogether twelve Boeing
planes.
In 2007, subsidiary, Estonian
Air Regional, started operation
with two SAAB 340 type planes.
In 2011, Estonian Air purchased
two new regional jet type
CRJ900 NextGen planes from
the Bombardier Aerospace in
Canada. A third plane of that
type will be delivered in 2012.
As of February 2011, the Estonian
Air fleet consists of two
88-seat CRJ900 NextGen
planes, three 118-seat Boeing
737-500 and two 142-seat Boeing
737-300 planes. Estonian
Air Regional has two 33-seat
SAAB 340 planes.

latter what it feels like, he says at first that he has

that it is much better to fly „our very own plane”.

illustrate their words, play with lights like children.
Estonian Air Vice President Commercial, Rauno
Parras, transforms swiftly into a steward and
offers superb on-board service passing with a tray
to and fro in an impressive frequency. It is surpris-
ing but the more pleasant to realize that it is actually
possible to celebrate on board the new plane.
The fourteen of us on the flight over the Atlantic
feel like children let loose in a candy store as every
moment offers exciting new things to discover or
experience – there is the sign next to the cockpit
door saying „This aircraft not for revenue service”
(actually it is, the sign is there for the flight home
only); we set a new Estonian Air altitude record of
12,600 meters; and admire the dream-like palegreen
northern lights in the star-lit sky just before
landing for fuel in Iceland; and are later stunned
by the yellow, pink and blue skies above the white
froth of clouds.
When approaching Tallinn, I am offered for
the first time in my life the possibility to be in the
cockpit during the flight. I am seated on a jump
seat behind the two pilots. The plane seems to
sink from the light blue skies into a grey fuzz of
clouds. I wait… and suddenly there is the snowy
landscape and the Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport
runway in front of us. It is 9.40 a.m. local time and
I almost hear the time stop and hold breath when
I do the same on my jump seat witnessing a truly
historic moment.
In 2011, Estonian Air celebrates its 20th
anniversary. In Time Magazine celebrates the
year with a series of articles about Estonian Air
and aviation in general.
President of the
Estonian Air, Andrus Aljas
Why regional jets?
We actually started thinking of having
regional jet type planes serve the Estonian
Air home market over ten years
ago. The seat cost so important in
aviation generally is not the best argument
at small markets where the cost
per roundtrip becomes more important
as we have to offer frequent flight
schedule suitable for our customers.
And this indicator is far more advantageous
in the case of regional jet type
planes.
Why Bombardier?
The regional jet type planes are currently
manufactured by two producers
– the Canadian Bombardier Aerospace
produces the CRJ type planes and the
Brazilian Embraer produces the E-jet
type planes. The choice in favour of the
Bombardier’s CRJ was easy to make as
they offered the best price-qualityefficiency
ratio. In addition, we were
offered advantageous producer’s warranty
as well as different packages for
the trouble-free and smooth entry into
service of the planes.
Which were the most important
milestones and turning points?
Serious negotiations with Bombardier
for the purchase of the CRJs began in
the second half of 2007 and we signed
the contract of purchase in January
2008. Plane purchasing and especially
the financing part of the process is
extremely complex and for Estonian Air
things were further complicated because
of the recession and fact that the
majority shareholder of Estonian Air at
the time, SAS, wanted to sell its share in
the company. In this apprehensive
situation the process dragged on and
took a year and half longer than anticipated.
Estonian Air, however, never lost
faith that sooner or later all three new
airplanes would land in Tallinn. There is
a way out of every complex situation
when you believe in it and are willing to
work for it. The turning point came
when the Estonian Government decided
to increase state’s shareholding in
Estonian Air and the financers, in turn,
saw it as a guarantee for the long-term
sustainability of the carrier. In spite of
this, the multilateral negotiations were
complicated and the final agreement
was only reached in August 2010.
What are the feelings after first
two planes are delivered?
On one hand, it is a great feeling; on the
other hand we are only at the beginning
of a long process. New planes were not
an objective in itself but only the means
for carrying out the strategy of the
company. The everyday work with the
goal of attaining sustainable profit,
while offering our customers flights
that meet their needs along with quality
service, is ongoing. Nevertheless, the
arrival of new planes is a special occasion
for Estonian Air — and our
customers — to celebrate.

Kadriorg is one of the most prestigious
residential districts in Tallinn the development
of which has been greatly
influenced by the life-style of the
Tsarist Russian nobility.
The palace and park built under the order of
Peter the Great and named Kadriorg after his wife
Catherine I has been visited by most of the rulers
of Russia. Since 1929, the Kadriorg Park is also
the home of the official residence of the Estonian
President.
Grand plans
The Great Northern War that broke out in 1700
between Russia and Sweden helped Peter the
Great to fulfil his dream to have a „window to
Europe” or access to the Baltic Sea. The ancient
port town of Tallinn, conquered during the war,
became one of the most important strategic points
of that „window” and therefore the Emperor of

The museums
of Kadriorg
Russia needed a residence there. Peter initially
stayed in a rather modest summer cottage in
Kadriorg but was fascinated by the surroundings
and decided to build a palace and park ensemble
worthy of the Russian Empire.
After having hired an Italian architect, Niccoló
Michetti, Peter ordered the works to commence
in summer 1718. Michetti remained true to
the Italian trends of the time according to which
the palace and its extensions were built on a
natural terrace.
The local terraced relief also dictated the layout
of the park – the Lower Garden was designed
in front of the palace and the Upper Garden at
the back which, in turn, was also located on
different levels.
Niccoló Michetti designed the palace in three
parts. The well preserved main hall is one of the
finest examples of Baroque architecture in Estonia
as well as of Peter’s era Russia and of the entire
Northern Europe. The entrance hall has
preserved its authentic look as have many of
the stoves in the palace.
The palace complex comprises several
adjacent buildings, the majority of which have
been renovated. The development of a grandiose
park ensemble with many auxiliary buildings,
canals, ponds and almost 50 fountains
was unfortunately cut short by the death
of Peter the Great in 1725.
Picturesque park
The Kadriorg Park is a fine example of Tsarist
extravagance and is also a typical cut of the
world trends of the time. While the palace is
unmistakably of Italian style, the garden was
already designed to present French features
that prevailed in Europe at the time. The
northern part of the park was intended to
have the look of a natural landscape with an-

well as the “Swedish King’s oak” planted
by Gustav V during his visit to Tallinn in 1929.

composition. In 1731, the five alleyways were
lined with more than 600 trees and lawns with
neatly trimmed hedges. The numerous flower
beds boasted roses, carnations, tulips and
daffodils.
The attraction of the Flower Garden on the
lower terrace of the Upper Garden was the
Mirage wall with its many sculptures, fountains
and a cascade in the centre. Behind the
Mirage wall, on the highest part of the Upper
Garden a Mirage pond was constructed with a
round island in the middle. After the death of
Peter the Great and subsequently Catherine I
in 1727 the development of the park, including
the erection of the Swan Pond was laid
aside. The works commenced in 1740 after
which the Swan Pond and Sea Alley were
completed.
By the year of 1827 when Kadriorg was
visited by Tsar Nicholas I the once magnificent
park had degraded. Nicholas ordered the
park and palace to be restored and gave it to
the leader of the Governorate of Estonia who
turned it into his summer residence.

estonians
With their novel 3D-camera,
Kaur and Kaspar Kallas hope to conquer
both Hollywood and Bollywood.
The brothers Kaur and Kaspar Kallas have developed, together with the
USA camera producer, Silicon Imaging, probably the world’s first stereoscopic
video camera that is able to record a three-dimensional image.
text: toivo tänavsuu (eesti ekspress)
photos: tiit blaat (eesti ekspress)
This wonder gadget has already drawn
the attention of many of the world’s
top directors, including James Cameron
and Werner Herzog who used it
for shooting his latest documentary
last summer.
Myth busters
The Kallas brothers have successfully busted the
myth according to which the making of a 3D-film
takes a truckload of special equipment, at least
three technicians and that setting up a scene takes
half a day.
Actually, the 3D-camera is not a camera in the
traditional sense of the word but a modular system
comprising two camera heads and a recorder.
The set is portable and can easily be adjusted for
special purposes. Without a lens the device
weighs four kilograms and enables the playing
of a recorded 3D-picture at the film set.
Until now, the production of a 3D-picture took
two separate cameras and a special device to
merge images from different cameras into a 3Dimage.
The cameras had to be synchronised for
the timing of each frame to be exactly the same.
It was all rather complicated and there was always
a risk that the quality of the 3D-effect would be
poor. And more importantly, the solution was
neither mobile nor cheap.
Cameron showed interest
Kaur Kallas says that the 3D-camera was produced
by the US company, Silicon Imaging. Estonians
developed the mobile hardware solution or the
recorder for Silicon Imaging camera heads that
enables the recording of a 3D-image and also

helped to create the necessary software. The
camera set costs approximately 64,000 euros.
So far Silicon Imaging has sold one to the world
famous director, James Cameron, whose film
“Avatar” recently broke all box office records.
Fast technological development, however, does
not favour the sale of these camera sets. It is more
practical to offer the service which includes equipment
rental together with the services of a specialist.
And that is what the Kallas brothers are now
focusing on. Panasonic and Sony have also used
the same business model with their high-end
digital cameras.
The camera heads and recorder rental costs
980 euros a day and auxiliary equipment, such
as a mirror rig, wireless HD and 3D monitoring,
wireless follow focus, lenses and a work station
for viewing recorded material costs another
1500–2000 euros a day.
The very first work
The new technology was used for the first time in
December 2009 in Finland to make the 3D commercial
that was shown before “Avatar”. In summer
2010, Werner Herzog used this novel camera
to record his first 3D documentary called “Caves
of Forgotten Dreams” that premiered at the Toronto
Film Festival in September. The European
premier is scheduled to take place in February at
the Berlinale. In Estonia, the Acuba 3D-camera
is used in the production of a documentary and
a 3D short feature, both of which should be out
this spring.
The Kallas brothers also co-operated with the
artist Raul Rajangu in the making of an experimental
3D short film, “Luminous Darkness”,
which was recently premiered.
“It was a great recognition for us that Werner
Herzog chose us and our equipment for his new
film. I believe it is one of those exceptionally rare
cases when film-making equipment and knowhow
has been exported for reasons other than
cost,” says Kallas. “In addition to working on
the set we also did all the post production of the
film right down to the 3D-master.” Negotiations
are currently under way with several well-known
directors who would like to use Estonians’ equipment
for their upcoming projects but Kallas is
unwilling to name any names yet.
It was a great recognition for us
that Werner Herzog chose us and
our equipment f or his new film.
in London. The set belonging to the Estonians is
in Warsaw where the company owned by the
brothers, Digital Sputnik, recently expanded and
where Kaspar Kallas, the main architect of technical
solutions lives. Digital Sputnik’s camera is
being tested for the Polish film industry as the
Estonian market is too small for it. A further goal
is to take the camera to the Indian film market.
“Estonia lacks the market for this kind of
equipment and therefore we focus our efforts
outside,” says Kaur Kallas.
Meanwhile the brothers continue to work on
optimising the camera casing. Within a year the
entire system has become more compact and it
is now possible to monitor and operate the camera
with no wires attached.
The 3D-camera was developed on the basis of
the 2D-camera that was also produced by Estonians
in co-operation with Silicon Imaging and
used for filming Kadri Kõusaar’s controversial
“Magnus”. The same technology was used for
the Hollywood feature film “Slumdog Millionaire”
that last year won the Academy
Award for Best Cinematography. The
camera head of a 3D-camera actually
consists of two 2D-cameras, one of
which records for one eye while the
second records for the other eye. As
eyes see images differently, a 3D spacious
effect is created in the brain.
The new camera makes
the 3D film-making so
easy that there is no need
for a truckload of
equipment.
Camera is in Poland
The target group for the new camera includes
producers of feature films, documentaries, and
commercials as well as others interested in the
development of cinematic art. One of the 3Dcameras
is currently in Hollywood and another

ja euroopa vabaduse eest.
tekst: raimo pullat
fotod: arhiiv
Eesti ja Poola sõjaväelised suhted enne
Teist maailmasõda ja selle ajal moodustavad
kahe riigi sidemetes põneva peatüki.
Eesti sõjaväelendurid teenisid
Briti kuninglike õhujõudude (RAF)
koosseisus pärast 1939. aasta 1. septembrit, mil
Danzigi (Gdansk) all Westerplattes algas Saksamaaga
verine võitlus elu ja surma peale. Brittide
õhujõududes võitlesid Eesti, Inglismaa, Poola ja
kogu Euroopa vabaduse nimel eestlastest leitnandid
Ants Liblikmaa ja Mihkel Kristiani ning
lennukaptenid Peeter Olt ja Endel Susi, samuti
teadaolevalt ka kaks naislendurit – Raja Tamm
ja Lea Lintrop-Hughes.
Surm treeninglennul
Järvamaalt pärit 1917. aastal sündinud leitnant
Ants Liblikmaa, kes dokumentides esineb nime
all Jan Anton Liblikman, teenis sõjaeelse Eesti
Vabariigi õhukaitseväes. Nagu paljud teisedki
sõjaväelased NSV Liidu poolt okupeeritud Eestis,
viidi ta Teise maailmasõja puhkedes sundkorras
Nõukogude tagalasse.
Ants Liblikmaa ja Mihkel
Kristiani hauad Inglismaal.
1942. aastal mobiliseeriti Liblikmaa Punaarmeesse,
saadeti Sverdlovskisse, demobiliseeriti ja
suleti laagrisse nr 109, kus oli üle 500 poolaka.
Peagi põgenes lendur koos kahe poolakaga laagrist.
Põgenike tee viis läbi lugematute ohtude
Venemaalt Kasahstani kaudu Iraani, kust Ants
Liblikmaa jõudis Inglismaale, seal võttis ta
uueks eesnimeks Jan ning ühines kuninglike
õhujõududega.
22. novembril 1944 startis tema DH Mosquito
MK II nr HJ 650-1 harjutuslennule. Lennuk purunes
teadmata põhjustel, piloot hukkus Birminghami
piirkonnas ning leitnant Liblikmaa maeti
sõjaväeliste auavaldustega Worcesteri Astwoodi
surnuaiale. Enne oma traagilist hukkumist osales
ta mitmes lahingulennus.
Hauad Poola vapi all
Tallinnast pärit Mihkel Kristiani (poolakeelsetes
dokumentides ka Michal Kristiani) oli samuti
õppinud Eestis lennukoolis ning ka tema sattus
üsna pea pärast sõja algust Venemaale laagrisse.
Juunis 1942 jõudis ta NSV Liidu liitlasteks saanud

eesti keelele inglise, vene,
poola ja saksa keelt rääkinud
lendur haigestus paraku raskekujulisse
neeruhaigusesse
ja suri juunis 1944. Kaks
aastat hiljem autasustati teda
postuumselt medaliga.
Nii puhkavad kaks Eestist pärit

hauasambal Poola vapp ja kivisse raiutud
sõnad „Polish Forces“.
DH Mosquito oli laiaotstarbeline briti
lahingulennuk, millega lendasid nii
Endel Susi kui ka Ants Liblikmaa.
Eesti naised Briti lennuväes
Eesti naislenduritest on tollest ajast teada vaid
kaks nime: Briti WAAFis ehk Women’s Auxiliary
Air Force’is teeninud Raissa (Raja) Gillespie
(Tamm), kes abiellus inglasega ja kelle saatus
hiljem Lõuna-Aafrikasse pillutas, ning Briti salateenistustega
seotud Lea (Karin) Lintrop-Hughes.
Temagi abiellus briti jalaväekapteniga. Lintrop-
Hughes hukkus novembris 1944 lennueksamil
kokkupõrkes teise lennukiga. Äärmiselt kohusetruu
võitlejana tuntud naine maeti sõjaväeliste
auavalduste saatel. Need kaks neiut sattusid Inglismaale
1937. aastal, kui läksid sinna oma inglise
keele oskusi täiendama. Sõja puhkedes aga astusid
nad vabatahtlikena sõjaväe teenistusse.
Poola aumärkide kavaler
Tartust pärit, 1914. aastal sündinud Endel Susist
sai Eesti Vabariigi sõjaväelendur aastal 1935.
Augustis 1941 viidi ta Nõukogude okupatsioonivõimude
poolt Venemaale ja nii kujunes temagi
saatus üsna sarnaseks kahe eelneva lenduri
omaga – juba juunist 1942 viibis Susi Inglismaal.
Endel Susi ülendati kuninglikes õhujõududes
kapteniks ning ta lendas Mosquito tüüpi hävituslennukitega
sõja lõpuni. Teda autasustati mitme
Inglise ja Poola aumärgiga. Pärast sõda elas Susi
Andrewsi nime all Kanadas, oli seal teist korda
abielus ja ka suri seal. Susi ei suhelnud oma esimese
perekonnaga, kes elas Eestis, ega rääkinud
ka kellelegi oma tegevusest sõja ajal. Arvatavasti
seetõttu, et ta olevat olnud seotud sadade tuhandete
kaitsetute tsiviilisikute, sealhulgas naiste
ning laste elusid nõudnud Dresdeni ja Leipzigi
pommitamisega.
Poolas sündinud Eesti ohvitser
Kapten Peeter Olt sündis aastal 1899 (mõnedel
andmetel 1896) Varssavis. Ta õppis lennundust
ja pilotaaži Venemaal ning Prantsusmaal ja sõdis
Kapten Peeter Olt
(vasakul) ja
kapten Laaks.

Endel Susi võitles koos

Gillespie’ga (Tammega),
kes elas kõrge vanuseni
Kaplinnas.
1918–1920 Vene kodusõjas valgete poolel Wrangeli
ja Denikini armees. Pärast Wrangeli ja Denikini
purustamist elas Olt Türgis, läbis seejärel
Königsbergis merelennuväe ning Tallinnas aviomotoristi
kursused. Seega oli tegu omas ajas äärmiselt
laia sõjalise ettevalmistusega mehega.
Kapten Olt oskas juhtida mitut tüüpi lennukeid ja
veesõidukeid, valdas vene ja saksa keelt ning
tundis Eestit, Prantsusmaad, Saksamaad, Lätit,
Leedut, Türgit, Tšehhoslovakkiat ja eriti Poolat.
1942. aasta algul teenis Olt mõned kuud NSV
Liidu territooriumil formeeritud Poola väeüksustes.
Kui Liblikmaa ja Susi pommitasid Saksa
linnu, siis Olt olevat lennanud peamiselt transpordilennukitega
ning toonud USA-st ja Kanadast
Euroopa sõjatandrile uusi lennukeid. Pärast sõda
elas Peeter Olt mõnda aega Inglismaal ning olevat
1950.–1960. aastail töötanud peamehhaanikuna
Panama aurikul Astra ning eestlastele kuulunud
laevadel Anne, Lorna ja August.
See huvitav lehekülg Eesti ja Poola sõpruse
ajaloos kirjutati tänu mõlema riigi lendurite
sõjaeelsetele sidemetele ning pani aluse soojadele
ja usalduslikele suhetele kahe maa ja rahva vahel,
mis kestavad tänaseni.

30 minutes.
Cut the cucumber in half and slice into thin
strips. Slice the radishes and put into a bowl
together with the cucumber, watercress and
sprigs of dill. Sprinkle with lemon juice and
season with salt and cumin. Add one tablespoonful
of olive oil and mix. Let the salad
stand for a few minutes to season.
Heat the olive oil on a frying pan and fry the
whitefish for two minutes on both sides. Take

& their
orchestra
The 2011 concert season
of the Nordic Symphony
Orchestra titled „The
Meeting Place Tallinn” brings
celebrated musicians from
all over the world to Tallinn.
Fourteen years ago conductor Anu
Tali founded, together with her twin
sister, manager Kadri Tali, the Estonian-Finnish
Symphony Orchestra
which quickly evolved into the Nordic Symphony
Orchestra bringing together musicians
of various nationalities from all over
the world.
“We have become an international orchestra
that introduces Estonia and Estonian
music to the world,” says Anu Tali.
“We commission music from Estonian
composers and then play and record it with
the participation of some of the best musicians
in the world.” In a word, the orchestra
aims at making Estonian music known
throughout the world.
In addition to Estonian pieces the orchestra
also plays music by composers
from Europe as well as other parts of the
world. The concert at the Berlin Philharmonic,
for example, comprised the 6th
Symphony by Estonian composer, Erkki-
Sven Tüür, and the 6th Symphony by
Tchaikovsky.
On May 2nd and 3rd, Tallinn – the European
Capital of Culture 2011 – presents the
Nordic Symphony Orchestra and their concert
programme, “Meeting Place Tallinn.
WoW” at the Estonia Concert Hall. The programme
was named after the composition
“Wing on Wing” by renowned Finnish composer
and conductor, Esa-Pekka Salonen.
“In November, we played music by
Shostakovich on a rather sombre note
with no attempt to make things brighter,
but in May we open our concerts with the
much lighter “Searching for Roots” by
Erkki-Sven Tüür,” says Anu Tali. “The programme
also includes „Wing on Wing” by
Esa-Pekka Salonen written for the opening
of the Los Angeles Disney Hall. We end
our programme with the 10th Symphony
by Mahler.”
In autumn, the orchestra presents, within
the European Capital of Culture programme,
2 concerts “Meeting Place Tallinn,
NSO” on the 25th and 26th of November in
Tallinn following which we go on to a Central
Europe tour, including Budapest, Bratislava,
Zagreb and Maribor, the next Capital
of Culture. The programme comprises music
by Pärt, Grieg and Sibelius. We will also
have the talented Estonian pianist, Mihkel
Poll, playing with us.”
According to the sisters, Mihkel Poll, currently
living in London, is one of the most
talented and promising of Estonian musicians.

Estonian Airi kommertsala
asepresident Rauno Parras
armastab maailma avastada hea
seltskonna ja kerge pagasiga.
Millised on lemmiksihtkohad, kuhu läheksid
alati tagasi?
Mulle väga meeldib reisida ja omal käel avastada,
seega on palju neid kohti, kuhu alati tagasi
minna – Tai, New York, Itaalia, Alpid jne. Ei ole
just palju meeldivamaid elamusi kui minna keset
meie karmi talve Taimaa päikese kätte, nautida
sealset kliimat, sõbralikku ja usaldusväärset kohalikku
rahvast, suurepärast toitu, vihmametsi,
mererandu jne.
Üheks korralikuks nädalaseks city breakiks sobib
ideaalselt New York. Pean väga lugu mäesuusatamisest
ja seega on mu nõrkuseks ka Alpid. Ükskõik
kas Austria, Prantsusmaa, Šveits või Itaalia, peaasi,
et mäed oleksid kõrged, nõlvad lumised ja vaated
sellised, et iga hetk, mil saad mahti ringi vaadata,
armud uuesti. Ühtlasi meeldib mulle Itaalia köök,
sealne söögikultuur ja elustiil.
Liigutava kogemuse sain hiljutisel Montreali
reisil, kus käisin vaatamas maailma tugevaima
hokiliiga NHLi kohtumist Montreal Canadiensi
ja Anaheim Ducksi vahel. Endise hokimängijana
on see spordiala mulle hingelähedane, kuid seda,
kui oluline on jäähoki kanadalastele, sain teada
alles sellel reisil. Tänu headele tuttavatele õnnestus
mul saada pilet Canadiensi 21 000 pealtvaatajat
mahutavas ja alati lõpuni müüdud koduhallis
sellesse sektorisse, kus hooajapiletitega istuvad
klubi kõige tulisemad poolehoidjad.
Milline on sinu unistuste sihtkoht?
Sitsiilia. Olen suur Mario Puzo raamatute
austaja ja seega tahaksin näha seda vastuolulist ja
keerulise ajalooga maad. Ühel päeval on mul
plaan proovida heliskiingut – helikopteriga viiakse
grupp suusatajaid mäe otsa, kuhu tõstukid ei lähe,
et sealt siis looduse meelevallas alla sõita.
Mille alati reisile kaasa pakid?
Asjadest olulisem on pere. Puhkus on kvaliteetaeg
ja me proovime selle enamasti koos veeta.
Asjadest tasub kaasa võtta pass (olles enne veendunud,
et see ka kehtib ning sisaldab kõiki vajalikke
viisasid), fotoaparaat ja kindlasti ka hea raamat, et
pikki lennureise ja võimalikku ajavahest tingitud
unetust mõnusalt mööda saata. Suvisele reisile
minnes pakin alati kaasa korralikud plätud, suusareisile
aga oma suusasaapad. Üldiselt eelistan
reisimist kerge pagasiga – seljakotiga, mille saab
salongi kaasa võtta
Hea idee või nõuanne reisimiseks?
Kõik algab alati meeleolust ja seega oleks minu
nõuandeks paindlikkus, sõbralikkus, seiklustahe ja
otse loomulikult hea seltskond.
Palun kirjelda oma tööd Estonian Airis.
Kommertsala asepresidendina vastutan selle
eest, et Estonian Airi lennuplaan oleks kokku pandud
nõnda, et see oleks meelepärane meie klientidele
ja tulus firmale, et Estonian Airi kaubamärk
oleks nähtav ja hinnatud ning meie lennud
reisijate jaoks esimene valik.

proovime

What is the destination of your dreams?
Sicily. I am a big fan of Mario Puzo and his
books and I would really like to see that controversial
country with its complex history. And one
day I shall try heliskiing – off-piste, downhill skiing
where a helicopter drops you off on top of mountain
not accessible by ski-lifts and then you have
to come down at the mercy of nature.
Estonian Air
Vice President
Commercial,
Rauno
Parras, likes
to discover
the world
travelling
light in good
company.
What are your favourite destinations – those
which you are always willing to visit again?
I love to travel and discover the world on my
own and, therefore, there are many places in the
world I would like to visit again – Thailand, New
York, Italy and the Alps to name but a few. Almost
nothing beats the feeling of leaving behind our
harsh winter and travelling to sunny Thailand to
enjoy the benign climate, excellent food, the rain
forests and lovely beaches and meet the friendly
and reliable locals.
New York, however, is ideal for a week long
city break. I also love downhill skiing and therefore
I have a soft spot for the Alps – be it Austrian,
French, Swiss or Italian Alps as long as the mountains
are high, the slopes are snowy and the panoramas
breathtaking – making you fall in love with
the mountains over and over again. I also love
Italian cuisine, the local food culture and life
style in general.
I recently had an exciting experience during
my trip to Montreal where I had a chance to see
a NHL match between Montreal Canadiens and
Anaheim Ducks. I used to play hockey myself and
this sport is still close to my heart. But it was only
in Canada that I realised how important it is to
Canadians. Thanks to my good friends I managed
to get a seat in the “always sold out” home arena
What do you always take with you when
travelling?
Family comes first. A holiday is quality time
and we try to spend it together. But when talking
about things – well, I always take my passport after
having made certain it is still valid and that I have
all the necessary visas. I also take my camera and
a good book to pass time on long flights or to
overcome jet lag induced insomnia. In summer,
I always pack a comfortable pair of flip-flops.
When planning a skiing trip I always take my
skiing boots. I like to travel light – preferably
with a backpack.
Do you have any good advice for travelling?
I believe that one’s state of mind is what it all
comes down to and therefore my advice is to be
flexible, friendly, and adventurous and travel in
good company.
Please describe the nature of your work at
Estonian Air.
My job as the Vice President Commercial is
to make sure that Estonian Air flight schedule suit
our customers while being profitable for the company;
that the Estonian Air trade mark is visible
and appreciated; and that we are our customers’
first choice of airline.

Mis on nakkuslik
rubriik
Nakkuslik hepatiit ehk kollatõbi
on maksapõletik, mille
põhjuseks on nakatumine
ühega viiest viirusetüübist:
A-, B-, C-, D- või E-hepatiidi
viirusega. Kõik need viirused
võivad põhjustada ägedat
haiguse kulgu.
Mõned viirused, nagu B-või C- hepatiidi
viirused, võivad põhjustada ka kroonilist
nakkust.
Kuidas levivad hepatiidid?
A-hepatiidi viirus levib:
• Ohtlikeks nakkusallikateks võivad olla
saastunud joogivesi, joogid või jääkuubikud;
nõud, mis on A-hepatiidi
viirusega saastunud, isegi siis kui nad
paistavad puhtad.
• A-hepatiit võib edasi kanduda ebapiisavalt
kuumutatud toiduga ning mereandidega,
toore köögivilja, puuvilja
või salatitega.
• A-hepatiit võib levida viirusega saastunud
esemetega, sealhulgas ka meditsiiniseadmetega
(näiteks süstlad).
• Hepatiidi risk suureneb oluliselt viibides
hepatiidiohuga riigis või ka hepatiidi
puhanguga riigis. A-hepatiidi oht on
seotud peamiselt halbade hügieenitingimustega
arengumaades.
B-hepatiit on väga nakkav! Viirus
kandub edasi nakatunud inimese
vere või kehavedelikega.
• B-hepatiit levib verega saastunud
esemetega,näiteks tätoveeringute tegemisel,
augustamisel, meditsiiniprotseduuride
käigus, süstimisel.
• B-hepatiidi viirus võib siseneda organismi
ka väga väikese nahakriimustuse
kaudu. Isegi igapäevaselt kasutatavad
tarbeesemed, nagu laenatud hambahari
või žilett, võivad nakkust edasi kanda.
• Viiruse levik toimub ka seksuaalkontaktide
kaudu või sünnituse käigus nakatunud
emalt lapsele.
hepatiit?
Kus võib esineda B hepatiiti?
Maailma Tervishoiu Organisatsioon
(WHO) jagab riigid lähtuvalt B-hepatiidi
esinemismäärast elanikkonna hulgas suure,
keskmise ja madala riskiga riikideks.
Soovitav on end vaktsineerida keskmise ja
suure riskiga riikidesse reisides või seal pikemalt
peatudes. Eesti on
riik, kus hepatiit B-sse
nakatumise riski hinnatakse
keskmiseks*.
A-hepatiidi esinemine
on seotud halbade
hügieenitingimustega
arengumaades. Samas
ei saa välistada ka piirkondlikke
puhanguid arenenud
maades. Nii oli 2008.
aastal Lätis alanud puhangusse
nakatunud üle 2200 inimese. Eestis on A-
viirushepatiiti haigestumine viimastel aastatel
madal ning enamik haigusjuhtudest
on sisse toodud.
Kui tõsine haigus on hepatiit?
Hepatiidi kõik vormid võivad kulgeda
ilma haigusnähtudeta.
A-hepatiit lõpeb harva surmaga, kuid
haiguse kulg võib olla raske ja vajada pikaajalist
haiglaravi või põhjustada haigusnähtude
kordumist kuni kuue kuu
jooksul.
B-hepatiidiga kaasneda võiv maksapõletik
on sageli palju tõsisem haigus. B-hepatiidi
viirus võib põhjustada kroonilist
haigust, mis võib mitme aasta pärast areneda
maksatsirroosiks või maksavähiks.
Nimetatud haigustesse sureb maailmas
umbes miljon inimest aastas. A- ja
B-hepatiidi läbipõdemisel saavutatakse
eluaegne immuunsus kummagi viiruse
suhtes eraldi.
Missugused on hepatiidi
sümptomid?
Pika peiteaja – kolm nädalat kuni kolm
kuud või enam – tõttu võtab kaua aega
enne kui märkate, kui üldse märkate,
A- või B-hepatiidi viirusega nakatumise
nähte. Tüüpilised ägeda haiguse sümptomid
on kollane nahk, väsimus, kõhuvalu,
iiveldus. Terveks saamiseni võib kuluda
mitu kuud.
Missugune on parim viis ennast
hepatiidi eest kaitsta?
A-hepatiidist on võimalik hoiduda piinlikku
puhtust pidades. Tähtis on pärast
tualetis käimist, mähkmete vahetamist
või enne söömist vee
ja seebiga käsi pesta.
Parim kaitse A-hepatiidi
vastu on vaktsineerimine.
Kuigi kondoomi kasutamise
tõhusus B-hepatiidi viiruse
edasikandumise vältimisel ei
ole teada, võib kondoomi kasutamine
nakatumisohtu vähendada.
Tuleks vältida teiste inimeste hügieenitarvete,
nagu raseerijate ja hambaharjade,
kasutamist. Tuleks arvestada ka
B-hepatiidi nakkusohuga mitmete kosmeetiliste
protseduuride nagu tätoveerimise
ja kõrvade augustamise käigus.
Vaktsineerimine on parim viis ennast
kaitsta!
Vaktsineerida on võimalik nii A- kui ka
B-hepatiidi vastu. Nende jaoks on olemas
vaktsiinid.
Pikaajaline kaitse saavutatakse:
• pärast A-viirushepatiidi vaktsiini kahte
annust;
• pärast B-viirushepatiidi vaktsiini kolme
annust.
Saadaval on ka A- ja B-hepatiidivastane
kombineeritud vaktsiin.
Selle vaktsiini kasutamisel saavutatakse
kaitse kolmeannuselist vaktsineerimisskeemi
järgides.
Kontrolli, kas oled saanud kõik vajalikud
vaktsiiniannused!
Kui oled juba ühe viirushepatiidivormi
vastu vaktsineeritud, siis tasub alati kaaluda
vaktsineerimist teisegi hepatiidivormi
vastu. Revaktsineerimine või kordusvaktsineerimine
ei ole vajalik.
Ennast vaktsineerides hoiad ära enda
haigestumise ja vähendad oluliselt ka oma
lähedaste haigestumise riski.
Lisateavet vaktsineerimise kohta saab
perearstilt või lähimast vaktsineerimist
teostavast raviasutusest.

Lennutame talendid koju
Läinud aasta oktoobris käivitas Eesti Kaubandus-Tööstuskoda
projekti Talendid Koju, mille eesmärk on viia kokku kodumaised
tööandjad ning välismaale õppima ja tööle lahkunud,
et soodustada inimeste tagasipöördumist Eestisse või koostööd
siinsete ettevõtjatega.
Veebruari alguses sõlmisid koostööleppe Eesti Kaubandus-
Tööstuskoda ning Estonian Air, et võimaldada Eestisse tagasipöördujatel
soodsalt ja mugavalt lennata. Kokkuleppe järgi
saavad projekti raames kodumaal tööd otsivad eestlased Estonian
Airi otselendudel olulist allahindlust nii ühe suuna kui ka
edasi-tagasi pileti puhul. Allahindlus ei hõlma lennujaamamakse.
Lisandub lennuühendusi
Seoses uute lennukite lisandumisega lennukiparki, läheneva
puhkuste kõrghooajaga ning üleminekuga suvisele lennugraafikule
märtsikuu viimasel pühapäeval, tihendab Estonian Air
lennugraafikut mitmel aastaringsel ja hooajalisel liinil.
Estonian Air suurendab lendude arvu järgmistel liinidel:
Tallinn-Brüssel, Tallinn-London, Tallinn-Moskva, Tallinn-
Amsterdam, Vilnius-Amsterdam. Lisaks alustas Estonian Air
veebruari lõpus lende Tallinna ja Tartu vahel, mai alguses avab
Estonian Air uue lennuliini Vilniuse ja Berliini vahel. Estonian
Air alustab senisest tihedama lennugraafiku alusel taas lendamist
hooajalistel liinidel: Tallinn-Minsk, Tallinn-Pariis,
Kuressaare-Stockholm, Tallinn-Berliin, Tallinn-Barcelona,
Tallinn-Milano, Tallinn-Nizza.
Uute lennukite nimed
on Lotte ja Bruno
Estonian Airi kaks uhiuut
Bombardier CRJ900 NextGen
lennukit saavad nimeks Lotte
ja Bruno. Ühtekokku pakuti
Estonian Airi kodulehel
toimunud nimekonkursi
käigus välja 9734 nime.
„Lotte ja Bruno eristusid
teistest nimepaaridest selle
poolest, et tegu on kodumaiste
populaarsete Leiutajateküla
joonisfilmi- ja raamatutegelastega,
kelle karakterid toetavad
meie ettevõtte uuenduskontseptsiooniga
seotud tegevusi,“
selgitas nimevaliku tagamaid
Rauno Parras, Estonian Airi
kommertsala asepresident. Ja
nii nagu Lotte ja Brunoga liitus
hiljem hea sõber Albert, saabub järgmisel aastal Estonian Airi
esimesele kahele Bombardierile seltsiks kolmas lennuk.
We fly talents home
Last October, the Estonian Chamber of Commerce and Industry
started the project Bring the Talent Home, the aim of which is to
bring together Estonian employers and people who have left to
study or work abroad in order to facilitate their return to Estonia
or co-operation with the Estonian entrepreneurs abroad.
At the beginning of February, the Estonian Chamber of Commerce
and Industry and Estonian Air concluded a co-operation
agreement. According to the agreement, Estonian searching for
work in Estonia within the framework of the project will receive
significant discount on direct flights of Estonian Air for one way
as well as return tickets. The discount does not include airport
taxes.
More frequencies
Due to the approaching summer holiday
season, recent upgrade of the fleet with
new aircraft and transition to the summer
flight schedule on the last Sunday
on March, Estonian Air will increase
frequencies on a number of year-round
and seasonal routes.
Estonian Air is increasing the number
of flights on the following routes:
Tallinn-Brussels, Tallinn-London,
Tallinn-Moscow, Tallinn-Amsterdam
and Vilnius-Amsterdam.
As from February, Estonian Air also
flies between Tallinn and Tartu, and in
May Estonian Air opens a new route
between Vilnius and Berlin. Estonian
Air has also increased the number of
flights on seasonal routes: Tallinn-Minsk,
Tallinn-Paris, Kuressaare-Stockholm,
Tallinn-Berlin, Tallinn-Barcelona,
Tallinn-Milano, Tallinn-Nice.
New aircraft will be
called Lotte and Bruno
Estonian Air’s brand new Bombardier CRJ900 NextGen aircraft
are named Lotte and Bruno. Altogether, 9734 names were proposed
on the Estonian Air website during the name contest.
“Since we have two identical new generation planes, the name
pair had to fit with each other as well as the type of the aircraft.
Lotte and Bruno stood out from other name pairs as popular
domestic cartoon and book characters from Gadgetville, whose
characters match our renewal concept,“ explained Rauno Parras,
Vice President Commercial of Estonian Air.
And, like a good friend Albert later joined Lotte and Bruno,
so will a new plane arrive next year.

kaob, on teil võimalik pilet tagastada. Kasutamata pileti

Lennupiletid
Estonian Airi kodulehelt
Estonian Airi kodulehelt saab osta lennupileteid rohkem kui
180 sihtkohta – lisaks Estonian Airi otselendudele ka partnerfirmade
jätkulendudele. E-pileti ostmiseks internetist minge
aadressile www.estonian-air.ee, valige sihtkoht,
lennu kuupäev ja tasuge.
Majutus ja rendiauto
Estonian Airi kodulehel www.estonian-air.ee on võimalik
lisaks lennupiletite ostmisele broneerida endale lihtsalt ja
kiirelt majutus.
Estonian Airi kodulehelt www.estonian-air.ee saab
tellida rendiautot nii Eestis kui ka välismaal. Tutvuge meie
kodulehel pakkumistega ja leidke endale sobiv lahendus!
E-registreerimine
E-registreerimine võimaldab teha check-ini interneti teel, valida
istekoha lennukis ning trükkida pardakaardi. Interneti teel
saab end Tallinnast väljuvatele lendudele registreerida mitte
rohkem kui 22 tundi enne plaanipärast väljalendu. Interneti
teel saab end lennule registreerida nii käsi- kui ka äraantava
pagasiga reisija. Lennujaamas võib käsipagasiga reisija minna
otse turvakontrolli. Äraantav pagas tuleb registreerida pagasi
äraandmislauas väljalennu päeval. Pagasi äraandmislaud
suletakse 45 minutit enne väljalendu.
Varajane lennule registreerimine
Tallinna lennujaamas on võimalik end Estonian Airi lennule
registreerida lennupäevale eelneval päeval kell 12-21, aga mitte
varem kui 23 tundi enne väljalendu. Nii saab vältida eelkõige
varahommikusel ajal lennule registreerimise järjekorras seismist.
Kui reisija on end eelmisel päeval lennule registreerinud
ja pagasi ära andnud, on soovitav olla lennujaamas vähemalt
45 minutit enne väljalendu, et jõuaks läbida turvakontrolli.
Äriklassi ootesaal
Estonian Airi kliendid saavad Tallinna lennujaamas
kasutada mugavat äriklassi ootesaali,
kus saab enne lennukisse suundumist
rahulikult aega parajaks teha. Külastajatele
pakutakse kergeid suupisteid ja
jooke, võimaldatakse tasuta traadita
interneti ja arvuti kasutamist jpm,
suitsetajatele on eraldatud suitsunurk.
Äriklassi ootesaal on alati tasuta
äriklassi piletiga reisijaile, lisaks
SAS EuroBonus Pandion ja
Kuldkaardi omanikele koos
kaaslasega (sõltumata reisiklassist).

luggage you can go straight to the security check.
Early check-in
Estonian Air is offering its passengers the chance to check in at
Tallinn Airport on the day before their departure between 12.00
noon and 9.00 pm but not earlier than 23 hours before departure.

day, it is recommended that you arrive at the airport at least
45 minutes before your flight’s departure time, to allow sufficient
time for security check.

Pardale lubatav käsipagas
Lennuki salongi võib turistiklassi reisija kaasa võtta ühe käsipagasi
ühiku, mille mõõtmed ei ületa 45x35x20 cm ning kaal
8 kg, või ülikonnakoti. Äriklassi reisijal võib kaasas olla üks
käsipagasi ühik, mis peab mahtuma laealusesse pagasilaekasse
või eesoleva istme alla. Käsipagasi mõõdud ja kaal on piiratud,
sest laealuste pagasilaegaste kandevõimet ei tohi ületada ega
vahekäigus liikumist takistada.
Lapsega reisile
Pilet väikelapsele, kes lendamise ajaks ei ole veel 2aastane,
maksab 10% täiskasvanud reisija pileti hinnast. Lastele vanuses
2-11 (kuni lapse 12. sünnipäevani), kehtib allahindlus 33%
täiskasvanud reisija pileti hinnast.
Alla 5aastased lapsed tohivad reisida ainult koos vähemalt
16aastase kaaslasega, kes suudab reisi vältel lapse eest hoolitseda
(lapsevanem, hooldaja või nende poolt ametlikult määratud
isik).
Ka üksi reisival 5-11aastasel lapsel peab olema
vähemalt 16aastane saatja. Kui sellist saatjat reisil
pole, peab piletit ostes ette tellima lapse saatmise
teenuse. Saatmise teenustasu on 32 eurot ühe suuna
kohta ühe pere kuni kahele lapsele. 12-15aastased
lapsed võivad reisida iseseisvalt, kuid
ka neile on võimalik tellida saatja.
Estonian Air ei paku lennukis turvatoole,
kuid kasutada võib auto
turvatooli, mida saab
kinnitada lennukiistme
turvarihmadega
ja kui selle sügavus
ei ületa 65 cm ja
kõrgus 45 cm.
Turbiinipoiss
Turbiinipoiss tutvustab lastele Estonian Airi sihtkohti ja lendamise
põnevat maailma. Turbiinipoisi keskkond asub Estonian
Airi koduleheküljel aadressil: www.kids.estonian-air.ee
Lemmikloomaga reisima
Lemmiklooma vedu on tasuline eriteenus, mida saab tellida
Estonian Airi kõnekeskusest. Loom tuleb paigutada spetsiaalsesse
transpordikasti, mis tagab looma turvalise ja mugava
transpordi, ning reisija vastutab looma riigist väljaviimiseks ja
sihtkohariiki (ning transiitriiki) sissetoomiseks vajalike
dokumentide olemasolu eest.
Koeri (välja arvatud juhtkoerad) ja kasse võib lennuki
salongi võtta vaid järgmistel tingimustel: loom peab olema
puhas; loom ja tema transpordikast ei tohi ületada 8 kg.
Üks reisija tohib kaasa võtta vaid ühe looma, kes peab
kogu lennu jooksul viibima transpordikastis, et õhku
satuks võimalikult vähe allergeene – kaasreisijate seas
võib olla allergikuid.
Cabin baggage
One piece of cabin baggage (max 45x35x20 cm) or a folding
clothes bag, weighing not more than 8 kilos, is allowed on board
in travel class. In business class, one piece of cabin baggage is
permitted, to be stowed under the seat in front or in the overhead
compartment. The measurements are restricted to ensure
that the overhead compartment is not overloaded and the aisle
is not obstructed.
Travelling with children
Fare for the infant is 10% of the adult fare. An infant is a passenger
who has not reached his/her 2nd birthday. Estonian Air offers
for children in the age 2-11 years (until the 12th birthday) 33%
discount from all available fares.
Child under 5 years of age must be accompanied by a person
not younger than 16 years of age who is capable of taking care of
the minor during the journey: the child’s parents or guardian or a
person assigned by these.
For children aged 5-11 (incl) travelling without such companion,
Estonian Air offers escort service. Escort service is mandatory
for unaccompanied children aged 5-11 (incl). The request must be
placed at the time of booking a ticket. The service fee is 32 EUR
per sector. If two unaccompanied minors travelling together are
brothers/sisters, only one-time fee is charged. Children aged 12-15
may travel alone. However, the unaccompanied minor service
similar to children aged 5-11 is available.
Estonian Air does not provide car-type baby seats but passengers
may use their own, provided that the seat can be secured
with the aircraft seatbelt and the seat’s maximum horizontal
measure does not exceed 65 cm and the height 45 cm.
Turbine boy
The Turbine Boy gives children the chance to get
to know more about Estonian Air’s destinations
and the exciting world of flying. More information:
www.kids.estonian-air.ee
Travelling with pets
Carriage of pets is a special service that can be booked
via Estonian Air Call Centre. Pets are not included in
the free baggage allowance.
The Passenger is responsible for securing proper
documentation for health, entry and transfer for all
countries on route and providing a suitable container
to ensure safe and comfortable transport of the pet.
The only pets accepted in the cabin (except guide dogs)
are dogs and cats on the following conditions: the pet
must be clean; the container must be leakage proof,
with weight together with the pet not exceeding
8 kg.
A passenger may carry only one container,
and the pet must be kept in the container throughout
the whole flight.

Mobiiltelefonid peavad olema välja lülitatud kogu lennukis
viibimise aja jooksul. Palume järgida salongipersonali juhiseid.
