Think Green, Fly Green - Sustainability in airBaltic
airBaltic currently flies a single-type fleet of 32 Airbus A220-300 aircraft, which at the moment 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.
Martin Gauss, Chief Executive Officer of airBaltic: “Our vision sees us becoming a sustainable carrier in the EU aviation market. At airBaltic, we believe that SAF will play a crucial role in ensuring the future of the aviation industry and help everyone involved to decrease their impact on the environment. Our use of SAF will increase further in 2022 and beyond.”
First base outside The Baltics
Recently that airline announced a new base in Tampere, Finland, its first new base outside the Baltics extending its network in Europe.
The new base airport will be launched in Tampere, Finland offering direct flights to seven destinations across Europe – Oslo, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Munich, Malaga, Rhodes and Riga. Tampere will be airBaltic’s fourth base in addition to bases in Riga, Tallinn and Vilnius. To operate the new routes, the base will accommodate one Airbus A220-300 at Tampere airport from May 2022.
By increasing the number of flights between Tampere and Riga, travellers based in the southwest of Finland will have more opportunities to reach more than 70 airBaltic destinations in Europe or the Middle East via Riga airport.
