At the end of December 2025 airBaltic welcomed its newest Airbus A220-300 jet, registered as YL-BTB, in Riga. This is the third aircraft delivered to airBaltic in 2025 and the 52nd of this type overall. Newest aircraft strengthens airBaltic’s Airbus A220-300 fleet, which operates across the airline’s route network, connecting passengers to a wide range of destinations. The aircraft is also used in cooperation with partners in other European markets through ACMI services. This flexible approach allows airBaltic to adjust capacity as needed and make efficient use of its fleet throughout the year, taking seasonal demand into account.
Since the introduction of Airbus A220-300 into its fleet in 2016, airBaltic has carried more than 23 million passengers on the Airbus A220-300, operated approximately 241 000 flights, and logged over 530 000 flight hours, demonstrating the suitability of this aircraft type for both shorter and longer routes.
The Airbus A220-300 aircraft offer improved passenger comfort features, including wider seats, larger windows, and increased overhead baggage space. At the same time, the aircraft feature a significantly lower noise level and reduced CO₂ and NOx emissions compared to previous generation aircraft, reinforcing their efficiency and environmental performance.
In 2025, airBaltic became the first European airline to offer free high-speed SpaceX Starlink internet on board. Currently, more than 20 aircraft are equipped with this technology, and installations are continuing on additional aircraft, allowing passengers to remain connected from boarding to landing throughout their journey.
