In a resounding testament to Airbus’s global standing and technological prowess, several significant announcements at the Dubai Airshow 2023 underscore the company’s pivotal role in shaping the aviation landscape.
airBaltic is set to become the largest customer for the Airbus A220 in Europe following the confirmation of an additional order for 30 A220-300s. This move will elevate the airline’s total firm orderbook to an impressive 80 aircraft. Already standing as the largest A220-300 operator globally with a fleet of 44, airBaltic has a long-standing relationship with the Airbus A220-300, dating back to 2016 when it became the launch customer. In 2020, the airline took a strategic step to exclusively operate this aircraft type, solidifying its commitment to the A220 series.
