With our aircraft choice the focus is on sustainability that is an advantage to come out of the crisis.”
Since May 2020, airBaltic operates all of its flights with a single aircraft type – Airbus A220-300, thus minimizing the complexity and benefiting from the additional efficiency provided by the aircraft.
