To honor the Centenary of Latvia, airBaltic wants to raise Latvia’s international profile even more by naming 14 of its Airbus A220-300 after the most beloved cities of Latvia. From a competition of 14 beautiful Latvian cities, with over 98000 votes all together, 9183 votes went to Cesis and by that Cesis has placed 1st as the most beloved city in Latvia!

airBaltic CEO Martin Gauss adds: "As Latvia’s leading export brand we are investing to enhance world’s awareness of Latvia and these 14 cities in the world by allowing millions of passengers to find out about these cities and their locations. Now we are visiting these beautiful places which have been recognized as most beautiful cities to congratulate each one of them individually.”

The Airbus A220-300 offers excellent flying experience with such benefits for passengers as wider seats, larger windows, more hand luggage space in the cabin, improved lavatories and more. New aircraft is also much quieter – with four times smaller noise footprint.
