offers many flying displays with great visibility and gives an opportunity to

As informed previously, the Latvian
airline airBaltic on June 16, 2017 welcomed
the fifth of its 20 Bombardier CS300
jets on firm order. By the end of 2017, airBaltic
is planning to have eight CS300
aircraft. airBaltic was the world’s
first airline that launched commercial operations with Bombardier CS300 on December 14, 2016.
The new Bombardier CS300
aircraft, with a total of 145 seats, offers excellent flying experience with
such benefits for passengers as wider seats, larger windows, more hand luggage
space in the cabin, improved lavatories and more. New aircraft is also much
quieter – with four times smaller noise footprint. Moreover, at the moment, it
is the greenest commercial aircraft in the world, as it is the first aircraft
to have a transparent declaration of the life-cycle environmental impact,
helping to reduce CO2 and NOX emissions by 20% and 50%
respectively.
airBaltic serves over 60 destinations from its home base in Riga, Latvia. From
every one of these locations, airBaltic
offers convenient connections via Riga to its network spanning Europe,
Scandinavia, the CIS and the Middle East. In addition, airBaltic also offers direct flights from Tallinn and Vilnius.
