Latvian-based carrier airBaltic has announced the cancellation of 4,670 flights from all its bases for the summer season of 2025.  

The decision is due to “unexpected delays and prolonged engine maintenance” by its supplier Pratt & Whitney, the carrier announced in a press release published on January 2, 2025. 

airBaltic said the engine manufacturer’s inability to meet its timely maintenance obligations has impacted the operational capabilities of the airline’s Airbus A220-300 fleet. Pratt & Whitney informed airBaltic that several of its A220-300 aircraft will remain grounded into 2025 due to an engine shortage.
