In honour of Latvia's centenary, in 2018, airBaltic invited everyone to vote on their favourite towns and cities in Latvia, after which the company's Airbus A220-300 fleet was named. Starting with Kuldīga, these cities will now one by one be represented on the digital art pieces issued by airBaltic.

Now, in cooperation with service provider BitPay, airBaltic accepts also other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Cash, Ether and Dogecoin among others for bookings made on its website.
