Air Baltic applies the brakes: The Latvian airline is postponing the takeover of 25 Airbus A220-300 machines. To the year 2024. This means that the expansion of the pure A220 fleet, which was previously announced, is slowing down.

The Air Baltic fleet list currently shows 22 examples of the A220-300 aircraft. Three more will follow as planned by the end of the year, the airline announced. "After the crisis, it will become clear that a 145-seat aircraft is exactly the right thing, because there are very many routes that are not in great demand," said Air Baltic boss Martin Gauss. "The focus on the A220 makes our life a lot easier."
