Pros

Modern fleet, very communicative CEO

Cons

Modern fleet with problematic engines, Safe but requires extra maintenance. Flying a lot of ACMIs out for various other airlines, crew are sent to hotels in various cities for weeks at a time, have to call for other ACMIs in to cover the flights from Riga. No teamwork, it's becoming a very egoistic atmosphere as people are getting more and more discontent, dispatch not willing to make adjustments with the schedules. Salaries haven't changed for more than a decade although living in Latvia has become very expensive. The very communicative CEO reminds his employees every week that if their are not happy, they can leave.

Pros

Skip this company to save your nervous

Cons

Oh, where do I even begin with the magnificent experience I had with Air Baltic Airlines? It was truly a masterclass in customer service, if by "masterclass" you mean the complete absence of it. Firstly, the leg space on their aircraft is a true testament to their commitment to making passengers feel like sardines in a can. It's like they've taken inspiration from a can of soda and thought, "Let's make our passengers feel just as cramped!" And let's not forget the delightful surprises that come with delayed flights. No hotel? No problem! Who needs a good night's sleep when you can camp out at the airport? And as for food, well, who needs nourishment after hours of waiting? Oh, and when they canceled my flight, I was overjoyed by the sheer lack of compensation. It's as if they believe canceling flights is a service they're providing for our benefit. In conclusion, if you're looking for an airline that takes pride in making your journey as uncomfortable and inconvenient as possible, Air Baltic is the undisputed champion. Kudos to them for setting the bar so high!
