Gauss, Chief Executive Officer of airBaltic:
“Our customers have long wanted to be able to read a book, review documents and
photos, or watch a movie on their electronic devices whenever they are onboard
one of our flights. We are delighted that in the busy Easter travel period our
passengers can begin enjoying the use of their electronic devices in all phases
of flight.”
Under
the rules, passengers need to place their electronic devices in airplane mode. Mobile
phones may not be used for calls and all devices must be turned off in rare
cases when instructed by crew members. Laptops and other larger devices must be
stowed during takeoff and landing so they do not pose a safety hazard.
Furthermore, passengers are also kindly asked to follow safety demonstrations.
