airBaltic Training Becomes the EU’s Only IATA Regional Training Centre

The mission of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) is to represent, lead, and serve the airline industry, and its members comprise some 230 airlines in more than 150 countries worldwide. For the last sixty years, IATA has developed the standards that have made aviation one of the most dynamic and vital industries in the world today.

In order to uphold and continuously improve these standards, IATA has established a network of Regional Training Centers to help train the thousands of aviation employees who sustain the global industry. The approval of Riga-based airBaltic Training as the IATA Regional Training Center followed a lengthy audit process of the facilities, training organization, and business plan for future development, in order to make sure IATA’s high standards are met. The focus area for this IATA Regional Training Centre is not only the Baltic states, but also Finland, Sweden, Poland, and Slovakia. airBaltic Training will guarantee classrooms and training facilities, transportation, hotel accommodations, and visa services for both instructors and students.

airBaltic serves 80 destinations from its home base at Riga, Latvia. From every one of these, airBaltic offers convenient connections via North Hub Riga to its network spanning Europe, Scandinavia, Russia, CIS and the Middle East.
