Latvian airline Air Baltic has signed a long-term agreement with Pratt & Whitney to maintain its GTF engine fleet.
The contract, based on a power-by-the-hour model, secures Air Baltic fixed maintenance costs depending on the actual use of the engines. This partnership, which aims to expand the Air Baltic fleet to 100 Airbus A220-300s by 2030, highlights the long-term cooperation between both companies. The PW1500G series GTF engines used in the Airbus A220-300 aircraft contribute to a 25% fuel saving, according to Air Baltic, making operations both more efficient and more environmentally friendly.
Pratt & Whitney praised Air Baltic's trust and highlighted the importance of the GTF engines' industry-leading fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. The 17-year contract per engine also provides Air Baltic with reliable planning security for maintenance.
