airBaltic recently presented its 40th Airbus A220-300 aircraft, second in its fleet painted in the colours of Latvian national flag. Marking the ceremony was the launch of airBaltic’s cooperation with the XXVII Nationwide Latvian Song and XVII Dance Festival, as the airline became the festival’s official airline.
Martin Gauss, President and CEO, airBaltic said: “This is a special day for airBaltic and the country, and we are proud that for more than 27 years already, we have had the opportunity to carry Latvia’s name in the world. Moreover – to do it with one of the most advanced aircraft, which is the core of our airline’s operations.”
“Following a successful unveiling last month, our team is proud to have delivered airBaltic’s 40th A220-300. Each A220 aircraft is unique, but this one is particularly special,” commented Benoît Schultz, President and CEO, Airbus Canada. “Not only does it honour the colours of the Latvian flag, but it also represents airBaltic’s continued trust towards the A220.”
The program of the festival includes more than 60 events and concerts in many locations and venues in Riga with around 1700 participating groups including employees of airBaltic.
