Estonian politicians from both the governing parties and the opposition have rejected the idea of any investment in neighbouring Latvia's airBaltic (BT, Riga). Aivar Sõerd of the conservative Reform Party, which heads the government, recalled that Tallinn had rejected previous proposals from the Latvian government, and the airline's "situation has worsened since then". Reili Rand from the Social Democrats, the main opposition party, called the carrier "a bottomless financial hole". This comes after Riga revived plans to seek its neighbours' help in recapitalising the airline.
