Description

AirBaltic began operations in 1995 as a joint venture between SAS and the government of Latvia. Initially, the airline flew Saab SF340s and Avro RJs. Later, Boeing 737-500s and -300s were added. In April 2008, the first of two Boeing 757-200s (former Iberia aircraft) was painted in full airBaltic colors. Originally delivered without winglets, both aircraft were later retrofitted with them.
