30 November 2019: Airbus has produced the 100th A220 aircraft for airBaltic. The aircraft, destined for Riga, Latvia-based airBaltic, features a brand new and comfortable cabin layout with 149 seats plus a modernised livery.

The assembly of the A220 family is carried out at Airbus' main Final Assembly Line in Mirabel and more recently, also at the programme's second assembly line in Mobile, Alabama.

The world's first A220 which was formerly called the C Series, was delivered in June 2016 to A220-100 launch operator SWISS.

On 28 November 2016, airBaltic became the A220-300 launch operator when the Latvian airline obtained the delivery of the first ever A220-300 three years ago. Since then, airBaltic has re-ordered A220-300 aircraft twice, bringing its firm order to 50 aircraft to become the current biggest European A220 customer. The airline presently operates a fleet of 20 A220-300 aircraft.
