Air Baltic Reviews
Air Baltic Corporation, operating as AirBaltic and styled as airBaltic, is the Latvian flag carrier airline and a low-cost carrier, with its head office on the grounds of Riga International Airport in Mārupe municipality, near the capital, Riga. Its main hub is at Riga International Airport. It has been state owned since 30 November 2011.
In Europe, CIS and the Middle East airBaltic has operated 27 more routes in the summer season of 2010, compared to summer 2009. In the summer season of 2011 airBaltic announced three new destinations – Budapest, Gdansk and Bari. AirBaltic previously had strong links with SAS, which owned 47.2% of the airline until January 2009. It operates frequent flights to SAS hubs in Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm. The airline formerly used the SAS EuroBonus frequent flyer programme, but now has its own: BalticMiles. Some products and services are still shared with SAS, including coordinated timetabling and shared airport lounges. Air Baltic is not a member of any airline alliance. At the moment, however, codeshare agreements are in place with several Star Alliance airlines and others.
Air Baltic was chosen for anna.aero ANNIES Award in 2010 as Europe’s largest flag carrier by new routes.
