In a resounding affirmation of its workplace culture and leadership in the aviation sector, airBaltic has once again been crowned as Latvia’s Best Employer in the transport and logistics category by CV-Online Latvia. This marks the 13th consecutive year the Latvian national carrier has earned the coveted distinction, reinforcing its reputation as a model employer not only in Latvia but across the broader Baltic region.
The annual “Top Employer” awards, organized by CV-Online Latvia, are based on comprehensive public surveys that evaluate companies based on employee satisfaction, workplace environment, leadership practices, and overall brand reputation. This year’s results reflect the strong public sentiment and continued trust in airBaltic’s employee-first approach.
Commitment Beyond the Skies
Martin Gauss, President and CEO of airBaltic, commented on the achievement:
“Being named the best employer in the industry for the 13th time is a remarkable honor. This recognition is a direct result of our continued commitment to creating a supportive, inclusive, and forward-thinking environment for our employees. As we continue to grow and innovate, our people remain at the heart of everything we do.”
airBaltic, which operates from its home base in Riga, Latvia, as well as additional hubs in Tallinn, Vilnius, and Tampere, employs over 2,500 staff. The airline is widely recognized for its strong corporate culture, dynamic career development programs, and focus on well-being and sustainability — all key factors contributing to its status as an employer of choice.
A Benchmark for the Region
In the broader landscape of transport and logistics, airBaltic stands out as a pioneer in blending operational excellence with a strong internal culture. The airline has consistently introduced progressive workplace initiatives, including flexible working models, advanced training programs for aviation professionals, and a strong emphasis on diversity and inclusion.
Latvia’s “Top Employer” survey results show that airBaltic continues to be ranked as one of the top three most desirable employers in the country, across all sectors. This cross-industry appeal underscores the airline’s brand strength and influence beyond aviation.
Looking Ahead
As airBaltic prepares for further network expansion and fleet growth with the continued delivery of Airbus A220-300 aircraft, it is also doubling down on its internal investments. The company recently announced plans to strengthen its employee benefits and launch a new leadership development academy aimed at nurturing the next generation of aviation professionals.
The airline’s ongoing success in employer rankings sends a powerful message across the global transport and logistics sector: that operational resilience and commercial growth are deeply rooted in people-centric leadership.
