airBaltic and SWISS to Start Codeshare Cooperation

The Latvian national airline airBaltic announces the start of a codeshare partnership with Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) effective from January 31, 2024. As part of the agreement, SWISS will add its code to airBaltic Zurich-Riga-Zurich flights, providing its customers with more convenience and enhanced flexibility when travelling to Latvia.

The partnership is based on a connecting codeshare, i.e. the agreement is valid for flights between Zurich and Riga in combination with a connecting flight before or after this flight.        

Martin Gauss, President and CEO of airBaltic: “SWISS is a strong, well-known premium airline. With this codeshare agreement, customers will now benefit from more convenient travels between Switzerland and Riga, airBaltic home base in Latvia.”

As part of this new codeshare, SWISS places its LX code on airBaltic-operated route from Zurich to Riga and vice versa, bringing airBaltic additional passenger traffic from its wide network of more than 100 destinations, including North and South America, Asia, and Africa.

airBaltic operates more than 100 routes from Riga, Tallinn, Vilnius, and Tampere, offering connections to a wide range of destinations in the airline's route network in Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and the Caucasus region.
