airBaltic received its 50th A220-300 aircraft on February 13, 2025.
“Eight years ago, we became the global launch operator of the Airbus A220-300 — an aircraft that has transformed our operations,” said airBaltic CEO and president Martin Gauss. “Today, as we welcome our 50th Airbus A220-300, it marks a major milestone, completing our initial order and bringing us halfway toward our goal of a single-type fleet of 100 aircraft by 2030. As we grow, expanding both our fleet and horizons, we remain committed to innovation, efficiency, and strengthening our position as the leading Baltic carrier.”
The aircraft was welcomed at RIX Riga Airport, featuring a special livery inspired by the Latvian flag and complemented with design elements from all three Baltic states — Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania.
“Our newest aircraft proudly showcases a livery reflecting the beauty and spirit of all three Baltic nations,” said Gauss. “Every time it takes flight, it will carry a piece of the Baltics.”
