Apr 16, 2018 (newstodate): The Latvian carrier airBaltic still plans to be operating 14 Bombardier CS300 aircraft by the end of 2018.
The latest delivery to the airline was on February 3, 2018, when the 8th aircraft was entered on Latvian registry, and the airline has said the next deliveries will start only from summer 2018.
If plans hold, airBaltic will thus receive no less than six CS300 aircraft during this year's H2.
At Bombardier's plant, seven aircraft with production numbers 55030-36 are currently at positions on the final assembly line but so far the customers for these aircraft are not officially named.
The planning still hinges on an increase in output by Bombardier that has been struggling with sustained problems with the Pratt & Whitney PW1200G turbofan engines that are running behind delivery schedule.
