The airline operates a Baltic-focused network with important bases and services through Riga, Tallinn, Vilnius and other selected airports. A single itinerary can include airBaltic-operated flights, interline sectors or codeshares, so passengers should check the operating carrier before relying on baggage, check-in or special-service rules.
