AirBaltic buys up to 60 more CS300s

AirBaltic has placed a large follow-up order for the Bombardier CS300 as part of its new business plan to streamline its fleet to one aircraft type and expand its network. The airline announced a firm commitment May 28 for 30 additional aircraft plus options and purchase rights for a further 30. The aircraft from this order will start to be delivered from Q4 of 2019, according to Bombardier. AirBaltic was the launch operator of the CS300. The airline has taken 8 aircraft so far and has 12 more to be delivered between now and the end of 2019. Management under CE Martin Gauss has been conducting a strategy review for some time and identified several options. The most ambitious project was to add Tallinn, Estonia and Vilnius, Lithuania as new bases. <br/>
