Section incidents and accedents is missing, in particular arrest and jail sentence of drunk pilots of the company in August 2015 in Norway.— Precedingunsigned comment added by77.165.173.131 (talk)17:23, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Okay who is the one wher who cant do math, we list destinations in the info box not routes and airBaltic serves 36 destinations, u cant just do 14 + 35, all destinations served from Vilnius is also served from Riga! Please do not change it again...
While this isn't stated in the article itself, the head office of airBaltic isinside the terminal of Riga Airport. For this reason, ithere is no dedicated image representing the HQ.WhisperToMe (talk)06:56, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
http://www.riga-airport.com/uploads/files/plan/RIX%20plans%2014_05ENG.pdf is the airport map, but it doesn't indicate the location of the airBaltic offices.WhisperToMe (talk)07:58, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article lacks information about the finacial and political scandals connected with the Air Baltic.— Precedingunsigned comment added by193.40.12.10 (talk)07:38, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I uploaded a picture in early 2022 of a Lithuanian-flag coloured livery, however it was removed for some unknown reason. The picture was supposed to go with the other two special liveries in Estonian and Latvian flag colours already in the article. Can I suggest that it is restored (or if someone else has a better picture, please feel free)?

In the "fleet" section there's a picture of a Wizz Air a320 (or a321) that is labeled incorrectly as the interior of a AirBaltic plane, that never even owned or leased any Airbus from the NEO generation.2A02:A318:80DE:FE00:9C75:B4A:1165:3E24 (talk)14:57, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is not the first airline to insist on a brand-name that is somehow cool because it breaks the rules.However, you should note that this airline was originally known asAir Baltic (from 1995 to 2004), and is still legally incorporated as ASAir Baltic Corporation, regardless of how it currently presents itself on its own website.
Wikipedia has a number of guidelines that deal with these situations.MOS:TMLOWER guides us towards capitalizing the leading letter, except for some particular exceptions (eBay, iPod)MOS:CAMELCASE says that trademarks in "CamelCase" are a judgment call; the style may be used where it reflects general usage and makes the trademark more readable.
In terms of airlines, other notable examples are
These eight examples are written exactly as they appear on the aircraft themselves, but in each case the article here on Wikipedia ignores such styling, and instead uses a leading capital letter at all times.In terms ofCamelCase, both EasyJet and JetBlue are legally incorporated in terms of a single word, and are widely recognised in that form byWP:RS.Conversely, Air Berlin and Air Haifa are broken up into separate words by having a space added, using the same logic.
The Proposal; I believe that Air Baltic is the correct form for three reasons;
There is a (weak) fourth reason, which you will find by examining the lists of airlines serving particular airports. In the case of (for example)Frankfurt Airport#Airlines and destinations, towards the top of the list you will find Air Algerie, Air Astana, Air Cairo, Air Canada... all the way down to Air Serbia, all in neat alphabetical order. And then, sittingunderneath Air Serbia is "airBaltic". This isnot where people would expect to find this airline. However, it is not for us to remedy their inadvertent mistake for this reason alone.

This article inconsistently uses both British and American spellings with the suffix -ize/-ise.2604:3D08:9476:BE00:F005:4D0C:3B5C:FB3A (talk)00:48, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
