Lithuanian Transport Minister: Latvia's government should solve airBaltic's problems

Lithuania's Transport Minister Jūras Taminskas has said Lithuania should not buy shares in Latvia's national airline airBaltic. He argued the matter falls under Latvia's own authority.

Lithuanian Transport Minister Jūras Taminskas has stated that Lithuania should not purchase shares in airBaltic, Latvia's national airline.

The minister compared such a potential purchase to "buying emotions," suggesting that the decision would be driven more by sentiment than by rational considerations.

Taminskas stressed that resolving issues related to airBaltic is the responsibility of Latvian state authorities, not Lithuania's.

The source report did not provide further details or context on why the question was raised.
