AirBaltic will exhibit its fourth Bombardier CS300, which was delivered June 1, at the Paris Air Show. The Latvian carrier has 20 CS300 jets on firm order.
By the end of this year, airBaltic, which became the launch customer for the larger CSeries variant in late 2016, plans to have eight CS300s in its fleet. It expects to have all 20 by the end of 2019.
The modernized fleet is ensuring growth of airBaltic with at least 13 additional routes this year.
The airline currently operates the CS300 on popular routes including Amsterdam, Barcelona, Rome, Moscow, London, Paris, Vienna, Athens and Madrid.
Thus far, airBaltic has completed more than 1,296 flights and flown over 3,130 block hours with the CS300 fleet.
AirBaltic CEO Martin Gauss said earlier this year that the CS300’s operation performance is exceeding expectations since launching scheduled flights in December 2016.
Bombardier said it has delivered 13 CSeries aircraft to date. Last week, Swiss International Air Lines took delivery of its first of 20 CS300s it has on order.
