Aug 30, 2021 (newstodate): The Latvian carrier airBaltic continues to stockpile its fleet of Airbus A220-300 aircraft.
On August 21, 2021, the carrier thus took delivery of its fourth of the seven aircraft poised for delivery in 2021.
But already on August 29, 2021, the fifth Airbus A220-300 aircraft hit the tarmac at Riga Airport, bringing the airline's fleet of the aircraft to 30.
After this, only two deliveries are planned for 2021.
The seven deliveries in 2021 are part of the follow-up order for 50 aircraft, after which the airline still holds options for a further 30 aircraft with Airbus.
airBaltic was the launch carrier of the Bombardier CS300, later renamed Airbus A220-300, with its first CS300 on scheduled flights from December 14, 2016.
