Latvia’s national airline AirBaltic files for Chapter 11 protection in New York to restructure its debts, according to reporting in multiple outlets. The company states that its flight operations are continuing while it pursues the reorganisation process.
Both sources say AirBaltic’s services to the UK are still operating. They report that flights between London Gatwick and Riga continue, and that services also run to Manchester. One outlet adds that a twice-weekly seasonal route between Aberdeen and Riga is in operation.
While the outlets agree on the filing and the continued operation of specific UK routes, they differ in the emphasis of route detail. The Daily Record foregrounds the company’s position that flights from the UK are proceeding “as normal,” while The Mirror highlights AirBaltic’s connections to London and Manchester and specifies the Aberdeen service as seasonal and limited to two weekly flights.
