Air Baltic to supply up to 30 A220 pilots to Air Niugini for a year

Air Baltic will provide up to 30 experienced Airbus A220 pilots to Air Niugini under a cooperation initially planned for twelve months.

During the year up to 15 pilots will be deployed at the same time on 28‑day rotations, flying with Air Niugini crews and supporting training and knowledge transfer for the A220; Air Niugini currently operates three A220‑300s on domestic and international routes, including Cairns and Sydney, and expects to operate eight A220‑100s from 2027.
