Therefore it might have some use, but mainly non-commercial ops and the approaches were introduced in a desperate attempt to lure in some more traffic which hasn't really worked.
It's not only the A220 that is able to fly LPV. In AirBaltic the whole fleet of Q400's is also equipped (and a few of them have been equipped for a few years) and a lot of the pilots are trying to fly LPV approaches as often as possible.
