airBaltic has taken delivery of its newest Airbus A220-300, registered YL-BTB, at the end of December 2025, marking the airline’s third aircraft delivery of the year and bringing its total A220 fleet to 52 aircraft. The jet will support airBaltic’s scheduled network as well as ACMI operations across Europe, allowing the airline to flexibly adjust capacity to seasonal demand.
Since introducing the A220-300 in 2016, airBaltic has carried more than 23 million passengers on the type, operating around 241,000 flights and logging over 530,000 flight hours. The aircraft is highlighted for improved passenger comfort, lower noise levels, and significantly reduced CO? and NOx emissions compared with previous-generation aircraft.
In 2025, airBaltic also became the first European airline to offer free high-speed SpaceX Starlink internet, now installed on more than 20 aircraft and continuing to roll out across the fleet. Celebrating 30 years of operations, the airline today connects the Baltic States with around 80 destinations and operates one of Europe’s youngest fleets, reinforcing its position as a fast-growing and award-winning carrier.
