This partnership enables to flexibly deploy up to 21 additional aircraft of the fuel-efficient Airbus A220-300 in summer and five aircraft of this type in winter at various hubs.
Due to changing customer needs, the Lufthansa Group airlines are aligning their route networks to seasonal peaks in demand, particularly in the summer timetable. With the additional capacities of airBaltic, destinations in high demand in the route networks can be served even more flexibly in future. At the same time, this will strengthen the quality of connections to Lufthansa Group Airlines' intercontinental services at the Group's hubs.
As is usual with a wet lease, the aircraft and crews will be provided by airBaltic.
airBaltic is Latvia’s national and largest airline with its headquarters and hub in Riga. The Lufthansa Group has been working with airBaltic since 2019, which has proven itself to be a reliable and valuable partner.
