Latvian national airline airBaltic will receive its first new CS300 aircraft from Canadian plane manufacturer Bombardier on December 1, the airline informed BC.

The ceremonial greeting of the new aircraft will take place at Riga International Airport at 7:30 p.m.


airBaltic has ordered 20 CS300 series airplanes, which is the largest CSeries model with about 130-160 passenger seats.


The CSeries program is behind the schedule by two and a half years, and its costs are USD 5.4 bln, which is twice as much as the initial estimates. In total 370 CSeries planes have been booked across the world, including by such airlines as Air Canada, Delta, Korean Airlines and others.


airBaltic had to receive the first CSeries airplane by the end of October, but the time of the first delivery has been postponed.
