RIGA, LATVIAOn August 22, 2021, Latvian airline operator airBaltic welcomed its 29th Airbus A220-300 jet, registered as YL-ABC, in Riga.



It is the fourth out of seven planned Airbus A220-300 aircraft deliveries for airBaltic in 2021. This aircraft is a part of the 50 Airbus A220-300, which airBaltic has ordered. In addition, airBaltic holds 30 options and purchase rights for the same aircraft type.

The aircraft was delivered to the Baltic carrier by Aviation Capital Group as part of a sale and leaseback transaction between ACG and the airline.

Since May 2020, airBaltic operates all its flights with a single aircraft type – Airbus A220-300, thus minimizing the complexity and benefiting from the additional efficiency provided by the aircraft.
