Baltija Baltic Airlines
AS Baltija Baltic Airlines Corporation, operating as Baltija, is the flag carrier airline of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, first established on 20 September 1991 as a consortium of the former Baltic airline divisions of Aeroflot after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Headquartered at MÄrupe municipality near Riga, Latvia, Baltija is the largest airline serving the Baltic region with a mostly international network spanning 95 destinations in Europe, Asia, North Africa, and North America from its three hubs at Riga International Airport (Latvia), Tallinn Airport (Estonia), and Vilnius Airport (Lithuania). As a mostly state-owned enterprise, the governments of the three Baltic states each own a 20% stake in Baltija for a combined ownership of 60%; Danish businessman Lars Thuesen owns a 15% stake and various other private investors share the remaining 25% stake in the airline.
