Latvian-based carrier airBaltic has celebrated the arrival of its 50th Airbus A220-300 aircraft, complete with its own special livery, during a ceremony at Riga Airport (RIX). 

The event took place on February 13, 2025, with approximately 200 attendees, including company and airport employees, partners, media representatives, and officials from the Latvian government, along with Canada’s Ambassador to Latvia. Video footage showed the A220-300 making a low-pass landing in Riga. 

“Eight years ago, we became the global launch operator of the Airbus A220-300 – an aircraft that has transformed our operations,” said Martin Gauss, President and CEO of airBaltic. “As we welcome our 50th Airbus A220-300, it marks a major milestone, completing our initial order and bringing us halfway toward our goal of a single-type fleet of 100 aircraft by 2030.”
