Latvian Carrier Supports Papua New Guinea Airline's Fleet Expansion
Latvian carrier airBaltic has begun sending Airbus A220 pilots to Air Niugini under a 12-month agreement aimed at supporting the Papua New Guinea airline’s fleet expansion. The agreement provides Air Niugini with experienced A220 crews without involving the provision of airBaltic jets. AirBaltic is undergoing financial restructuring after seeking Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States. The pilot agreement gives airBaltic an opportunity to deploy experienced A220 crews with another operator during that process, as reported by Air Data News.
