AirBaltic expects fewer CS300s this year, but still plans 4Q EIS
Latvian carrier airBaltic still plans to launch the Bombardier CS300 into commercial service this year, but it will receive fewer CS300s than planned in 2016. AirBaltic had expected to take delivery of its first CS300, the larger variant of the CSeries for which it is the global launch operator, at the end of October. That delivery is now expected to come later, according to the airline, but entry-into-service in Q4 is still planned. Bombardier confirmed to ATW that the CS300’s EIS in the 2016 Q4 remains on track. Bombardier said Sept. 6 that it will deliver seven CSeries aircraft in 2016 instead of 15 as planned, citing Pratt & Whitney PW1500G geared turbofan (GTF) engine delivery delays. <br/>
