AirBaltic, compania aeriană națională a Letoniei, a cerut să intre sub protecţia legii falimentului în SUA pentru a-și putea finanța datoria de 350 de milioane de euro

Latvian airline AirBaltic has filed for bankruptcy protection in the U.S. to restructure its finances and reduce debt. The airline will continue operations normally during this process, with customer services unaffected. AirBaltic secured a €350 million debtor-in-possession financing commitment from various creditors to support its operations. The Latvian government is negotiating with a strategic investor to address the airline's financial difficulties, emphasizing the importance of maintaining its hub in Riga. Rising costs since the Iran conflict have highlighted structural issues within airlines, raising investor concerns about debt repayment capabilities.
