The Latvian airline airBaltic has welcomed the ninth Bombardier CS300 jet in Riga on June 16. By the end of 2018, airBaltic plans to have a total of 14 CS300 aircraft in its fleet.
Thus far, airBaltic has carried over 1.160.000 passengers on the brand new Bombardier CS300 aircraft with every fourth airBaltic passenger flying on the aircraft. CS300 have completed more than 11.319 flights and flown over 29.977 block hours.
On May 28, 2018, airBaltic announced a firm purchase agreement for the sale and purchase of 30 Bombardier CS300 aircraft with options for an additional 30 aircraft of the same type.
The order complements the existing order of 20 CS300 aircraft and forms the backbone of the new airBaltic’s business plan Destination 2025 that builds on the successful progress of the current airline’s business plan Horizon 2021, which has laid the groundwork for future expansion.
