Lufthansa Group extends wet lease partnership with airBaltic
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.
