SWISS has agreed to wet lease up to six Airbus A220-300 aircraft from airBaltic to better serve the ever-growing European market.

Travelers taking a SWISS flight operated by airBaltic can essentially expect the usual SWISS service. The A220-300 can carry up to 145 passengers with a unique seating configuration of 2-3. SWISS itself operates 21 such twinjets. The Air Baltic aircraft will perform flights throughout the SWISS European route network which had previously been planned for SWISS’s own operation.

“This collaboration with Air Baltic will enable us to further stabilize our own flight schedules and give our customers even greater reliability for making their travel plans,” explains SWISS Chief Commercial Officer Tamur Goudarzi Pour. “On top of this, it should also help further relieve the present pressures on our cabin crew corps.”
