Oct 24, 2011 (newstodate): The operational life with the Latvian carrier airBaltic of the Fokker 50 seem to be expanded in contrast to earlier announcements.
In 2009, the carrier said the Fokker 50 would be operated "at least" till 2013.
But earlier this year the decision was announced to phase out all 10 Fokker 50 aircraft with the implementation of the winter schedules from end of October 2011.
While it has not been announced, it now seems that the carrier will continue operating five Fokker 50 aircraft until the start of next year's summer schedule.
