Latvia�s airBaltic to be Bombardier CS300�s first operator

AFP, MONTREAL: Latvia’s airBaltic will be the first airline to operate Bombardier’s CS300 plane commercially, in about a year’s time, the Canadian manufacturer said Sunday.
The aircraft, currently under certification, can hold 120 to 150 seats.
Bombardier said it would deliver CS300 planes to the Latvian flag carrier—which has 13 of the aircraft on firm order and retains options for seven—in the second half of 2016.
Established in 1995, airBaltic serves about 60 destinations out of Riga, with a fleet of 25 aircraft.
“Bombardier’s CS300 airliners are integral to the execution of airBaltic’s business development strategy and fleet optimization plan,” airBaltic chief executive officer Martin Gauss said in a statement.
