Martin Gauss, Chief Executive Officer of airBaltic: “Our customers have long wanted to be able to read a book, review documents and photos, or watch a movie on their electronic devices whenever they are onboard one of our flights. We are delighted that in the busy Easter travel period our passengers can begin enjoying the use of their electronic devices in all phases of flight.”

Under the rules, passengers need to place their electronic devices in airplane mode. Mobile phones may not be used for calls and all devices must be turned off in rare cases when instructed by crew members. Laptops and other larger devices must be stowed during takeoff and landing so they do not pose a safety hazard. Furthermore, passengers are also kindly asked to follow safety demonstrations.

airBaltic serves sixty destinations from its home base in Riga, Latvia. airBaltic offers convenient connections via Riga to its network which spans Europe, Scandinavia, Russia, the CIS, and the Middle East. For summer 2014, airBaltic has introduced six new destinations - Burgas and Varna (Bulgaria), Palma de Mallorca (Spain), Bucharest (Romania), Gothenburg (Sweden), and Aberdeen (Scotland, within the UK).
