    Businesses that rely on regular international travel can count on airBaltic for dependable service. The European North Basketball League shares three reasons for choosing our Corporate Customer Program: 📍 A wide network of destinations with Riga as the main hub ⌛ Last-minute passenger name changes for flexibility 📄 Convenient payment options to plan cash flow in advance Basketball is one of Latvia's most beloved sports. With teams representing different countries and games held across Europe, travel is a necessity for athletes and their support staff, who are frequent guests on airBaltic flights. Key tournament cities like Copenhagen, Bucharest, Vienna, and Sofia are all part of airBaltic’s route network. The early-morning and late-night flights make it easy for athletes to arrive on game day and return the same evening. “Sports can come with sudden changes; team rosters are often finalized only days before a game, so flexible name changes are essential," says Edgars Zanders, Founder & CEO of ENBL. "Being able to change a passenger’s name up to three days before a flight makes all the difference.” The ENBL also values airBaltic’s reliability, wide network, and possibility of taking non-standard large-size baggage, which is often necessary for athletes. And naturally, ENBL is proud to invite competing teams to Riga for games here, and it takes pride in the national airline, its aircraft, and the service it provides. 👉 Discover the benefits of becoming our corporate client: go.airbaltic.com/OfsNW64
