Now this would be an ideal fit for Southampton?
airBaltic CEO Martin Gauss said the carrier identified airports in
Europe that could serve as bases should the carrier exercise options for 30 A220-300 aircraft (
Routes Online, 24-May-2019). Mr Gauss said: “It would be a point-to-point operation to other countries outside the Baltics”. Mr Gauss added: “Our business plan calls for up to 50 A220s to be based here – expanding from Riga which stays a hub and spoke airport – but also
Tallinn and
Vilnius; we’re adding aircraft to these two bases”.
