«airBaltic» Celebrates Seven Years of Airbus A220-300 Operations

In December 2023, the Latvian airline airBaltic marks a seven year anniversary of Airbus A220-300 operations. On December 14, 2016 the first A220-300 commercial flight departed from Riga to Amsterdam.

Martin Gauss, President and CEO of airBaltic: “The Airbus A220-300 has been a game-changer for our airline, establishing itself as one of the core and very invaluable assets of the company. With this aircraft, we now operate one of the most efficient and eco-friendly fleets in the skies, consistently delivering top-tier service to our passengers. Airbus A220-300 has exceeded our expectations in terms of performance, enabling our reach to more distant and diverse destinations, including Marrakesh, Agadir, Dubai, and Gran Canaria. Also, this month, we are welcoming our 46th A220-300, and we continue aiming towards 50 aircraft in 2024.”
