Over the past two years, the business jet fleet in the Baltic states hardly experienced any changes and would never go above the summary limit of 30 aircraft. It should be noted that the matter concerns only the jets (excluding turboprops), that is business jets entered to national registers of Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia (prefixes ES, LY and YL). Some 40 aircraft units more affiliated with owners from the Baltic states remained registered with foreign registers, analysts said.
Our calculations show that as at July 2016 Estonia had 13 registered aircraft. Bombardier Learjet 60 is the most popular (7 units), followed by two Nextant 400 XTi planes, while Dassault Falcon 900LX and Cessna 750 Citation X are the largest business jets. Hawker 750 and Bombardier Learjet 31A (one each) also operate in the country.
The situation is similar in Lithuania, where Hawker 800XP/Hawker800XPi/Hawker850XP/Hawker900XP remain the most popular planes. Dassault Falcon 2000S was the largest business jet registered in Lithuania. Bombardier Challenger 850 aircraft is also operated in the country. All in all, the national register (LY) contains 9 aircraft.
And in Latvia we only managed to find 3 aircraft: Beech 390 Premier I, Bombardier Challenger 604, and Hawker 850XP.
For obvious reasons we would not disclose the owners and operators of the aircraft.
