Direct flights with airBaltic (BT) - Find all destinations

airBaltic was founded in 1995 as the flag carrier of Latvia. The closure of other airlines in the region in the 2010s and 2020s has made airBaltic the only flag carrier for all the Baltic countries - Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia.

airBaltic flies to more than 85 destinations from its bases in the three capitals - Riga, Tallinn, and Vilnius, as well as Tampere in Finland. It focuses on connecting the region with Europe’s largest airports as well as providing direct flights to holiday destinations.

The airline operates exclusively Airbus A220‑300 aircraft - it is the largest A220 operator in Europe with 50 in service and 40 on order. This limits airBaltic to flights within a 7-8 hours radius - enough to reach the Middle East but not to fly direct to the US or East Asia.
