About airBaltic

Founded in 1995, airBaltic is now one of Northern Europe's most dynamic airlines, based in Riga, Latvia.

Italian routes

Italy is also part of the company's expansion strategy. During the 2025 summer season, airBaltic operates direct connections from Riga to Milan Malpensa, Rome Fiumicino and Venice, with frequencies ranging from two to five flights per week depending on route and period.

In addition, seasonal connections to other Italian airports such as Naples and Verona are also active. These routes allow Italian passengers easy access to the Baltics, Scandinavia, and numerous other destinations served via convenient connections via Riga. There is, however, the minor flaw of wetlease that often flies Carpatair planes, or those of other carriers, Instead of the modern A220s.
