Apr 21, 2021 (newstodate): The first of seven new Airbus A220-300 aircraft to be delivered to Latvia's airBaltic is now in the air.
   The aircraft lifted off from the airport serving the Canadian manufacturer on April 19, 2021, as the first flight in the test program now unfolding prior to delivery.  
   The aircraft will become the airline's 26th in airBaltic's single aircraft-type fleet after phasing out all Boeing 737 and Bombardier Q400 aircraft.
   Another six aircraft will hit the assembly line in the months ahead, also to be delivered to airBaltic before the end of 2021 and taking the fleet to 32 aircraft.
