“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.”
By 2030, the airline will have up to 100 units of the aircraft type, making them the largest operator of the type in Europe.
More than 13.4m passengers have been carried using the Airbus A220-300 with airBaltic, across 150,000 flights and 328,000 block hours.
