RIGA- Management of airBaltic has decided to buy out the remaning shares of the company held by SAS.

SAS currently holds 47.2 percent while the Latvian government holds 52 percent.

 "Even in this difficult economic climate, the management believes in the company's future and has decided to buy the shares which currently belong to SAS AB," said Bertolt Flick, president of airBaltic.
