Documents submitted by Latvia's national airline airBaltic to a US Bankruptcy Court reveal the identity of the company's largest unsecured creditor. It is aircraft engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney, which holds a claim against airBaltic exceeding $66.5 million — specifically $66.518 million.
The information about the creditor and the size of its claim became public after airBaltic filed the relevant petition with the US Bankruptcy Court. This type of court proceeding requires disclosure of a creditor list, allowing the public to see which companies or entities hold the largest claims against the business.
Pratt & Whitney is one of the world's largest manufacturers of aircraft engines, and its engines power several aircraft types, including those used in airBaltic's fleet. The financial obligations between the two companies are linked to engine supply, maintenance, or other contractual duties that have resulted in this substantial claim amount.
The information tied to this filing offers insight into airBaltic's financial position and its obligations toward suppliers. The source material does not currently provide further details on how the filing will proceed or what consequences it may have for the airline's operations.
