Lielu daļu dzīves pavadu lidmašīnās un ar pārliecību saku, ka @airbaltic.bsky.social ir ļoti laba starptautiska lidsabiedrība. Lepojos, ka AB ir Latvijas 🇱🇻 uzņēmums, kas savieno Baltiju ar visu pasauli, nodarbina tūkstošus, inovē, audzē ekonomiku. Tieši tāpēc lēmumi jākomunicē laicīgi un saprotami.

Thank you to Allies, colleagues, critics! It was a busy year, much more to do in 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣!
