Latvian airline Air Baltic has announced that it will cease its ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance) operations from October 27, 2024.
This short-term wet lease solution was introduced to meet increased demand during the summer months and to overcome aircraft engine maintenance challenges. In the upcoming winter season, air Baltic will return to operating exclusively its own fleet of Airbus A220-300s to ensure a consistent flight experience.
According to CEO Martin Gauss, the airline's adaptability was crucial last summer to maintain all scheduled flights. Air Baltic plans to continue expanding its fleet and will soon take delivery of its 49th Airbus A220-300. In the long term, the company aims to grow to up to 2030 aircraft by 100 and consolidate its position as a leading airline in the region.
