Feb 06, 2018 (newstodate): The 8th Bombardier CS300 hit the Latvian aircraft register on February 3, 2018.
This thus became the first delivery in 2018, while originally slated to be the last in 2017.
The carrier now plans to be operating a total of 14 CS300 aircraft in 2018, aiming at having all 20 aircraft so far ordered in commercial service by the end of next year, 2019.
The planning still hinges on an increase in output by Bombardier that has been struggling with sustained problems with the Pratt & Whitney PW1200G turbofan engines that are running behind delivery schedule.
