Aviation industry in Latvia Latvian aviation industry grew significantly during past 1 years both in passenger traffic and cargo and Latvia developed strong aviation sector relative to its size Latvian aviation sector contributing ~3% of GDP and ~4K jobs Latvia has developed a strong aviation sector relative to its size with 2.4 pax / inhabitant. Riga International Airport serves as regional transfer hub. airbaltic has strong position in Riga but both low cost and full service carriers increased their shares during last years. Low cost airlines share is about 3% and full service carriers share is 2%. Due to periphery location of Latvia, developed aviation infrastructure is precondition for economic growth.

Periphery effect for Latvia: Air connectivity many times more useful than for WE/CEE Direct GDP return for Latvian aviation higher than in other countries... Direct-indirect multipliers (211)...driven by the fact that only 2% of EU wealth reachable by car in 8hrs from Riga (~4% for the Central Europe)... thus making air travel reach effect ~2-25 times bigger for Riga than for western/central Europe Riga's air travel effect is ~2-25 times bigger than Brussels' or Prague's 1.79 1.82 Riga 2.% x2 x2.5 x6 x8 x47 1.72 1.73 Prague.4% 1.65 9.3% 99% 99% 99% 99% 95% 4.3% 56% 4% Purchasing power (M ): Darker areas represent higher absolute wealth Driving time: 4 hours 8 hours Brussels Prague 17% Budapest 12% Warsaw 2% Riga % of European purchasing power reachable after 4 or 8 hours by car % of EU wealth by car in 8 hours % of EU wealth by plane in 4 hours

Key prerequisites Three main strategic directions for Latvian aviation sector discussed during Q1, 215 Baseline: No action (current trend) 1 Grow leisure 2 traffic volume Maintain/improve connectivity to support high-value traffic Economic impact Loss of airbaltic and transfer passengers leading to loss of half of the economic impact of aviation Development of the leisure traffic (inbound and outbound) leading to an increase of the local spending in the touristic sector Development of the connectivity in Riga to enable the trade and the investments in addition of the leisure traffic Connectivity Reduction of the number of destinations and frequencies in the next few years Reduction of the number of destinations and frequencies in the next few years Development of the capacities on touristic destinations Development of daily services to the main European capitals Improvement of the frequencies and the quality of schedule State No specific action Promote Latvia as a touristic destination Improve tourism infrastructure Promote Latvia as a business destination Support airbaltic in transition Airport No specific action short-term, forced to create favorable conditions for LCCs mid-term Create favorable conditions to attract LCCs (tariff structure, airport infrastructure, marketing) Create conditions to support regional hub airbaltic Increase short-term yields and gradually phase down Increase short-term yields and gradually phase down Transition into a very efficient carrier Find a strategic partner
