Airline CEO interview with airBaltic, Chairman of Executive Board & CEO, Martin Gauss

airBaltic is the Latvian national carrier (80% state ownership) and a hybrid-LCC. It is the first national flag carrier airline to market itself as an LCC. The carrier is based in the Latvian capital Riga and also operates bases in the other Baltic capitals of Vilnius (Lithuania) and Tallinn (Estonia). The airline has also moved away from offering mostly point-to-point services in the Baltic region, and now pursues a network strategy, with Riga International the main hub. The airline operates scheduled services to destinations in Europe, the Middle East and the CIS, and is the launch customer of the Airbus A220-300, with plans of introducing an all-Airbus fleet of 50 A220-300 aircraft by 2022.

In this session, we welcome airBaltic, Chairman of Executive Board & CEO, Martin Gauss back to CAPA Live to provide an update on the carrier and offer insight into plans for the future.
