Dear passenger,
airBaltic has started a court-supervised financial reorganization - an important step to strengthen our financial position and support our broader plan to build a more efficient, stronger airline for the future.
For you as a passenger, the most important thing to know is that our operations continue as usual. airBaltic keeps flying, your tickets remains valid, and you can continue to book and travel with the airline as usual.
What has happened
airBaltic has voluntarily initiated a Chapter 11 financial reorganisation in the United States. This is a well-established, court-supervised framework that lets an airline restructure its finances while continuing to operate day to day. It has been used by SAS, United Airlines, Delta Air Lines, GOL and American Airlines. airBaltic is using this process to address its near-term financial obligations and to achieve a more sustainable capital structure, aimed at building a more efficient and financially sustainable airline for the future.
What this means for you
Nothing changes for you - rest assured, everything continues to run as normal throughout the process.
The procedure concerns the financial structure of the company and not its operations. Our aircraft, crews, schedule and service continue exactly as before, with the same focus on safety and operational reliability.
•
Flights: All flights are operating as scheduled.
•
Existing bookings: Tickets and reservations remain valid.
•
New bookings: You can continue to book and travel with us as usual.
•
Customer service: Continues as usual.
•
Refunds and vouchers: Handled in line with existing policies.
•
Gift cards and credits: Gift cards, and credits related to baggage or service claims, continue under existing policies.
•
Action required: None. Passengers with upcoming travel need take no action.
Erno Hildén, President and Chief Executive Officer of airBaltic:
"Our focus is on continuing to run the airline while implementing the changes set out in our new business plan. For our passengers, this process will not be noticeable – our operations continue as normal, and we are flying, selling tickets and planning our future schedule, with the same focus on safety and operational reliability. At the same time, we are taking the necessary steps to make airBaltic a more financially sustainable airline. This process allows us to continue that work while maintaining our day-to-day operations and serving our passengers and partners."
Where to find current information
All current and official information about this process is available on the
airBaltic website and is updated as the process progresses.
Looking ahead: winter and summer 2027 programme
airBaltic has already published its winter 2026/2027 schedule and recently announced its summer 2027 flight programme - both developed in line with the airline's new business plan. For the summer 2027 season, airBaltic will offer 57 direct destinations from Riga, 13 from Tallinn, and 8 from Vilnius. The number of seats offered will remain comparable to the summer 2026 season, with capacity concentrated on the routes with the highest passenger demand. Further information about the summer 2027 flight programme is available
here.
Thank you for flying with us. This process is an important step in strengthening airBaltic's financial position and supporting the airline's long-term operations and development.
