Air Baltic to provide up to 30 pilots for Air Niugini A220 operations

Air Baltic will assign experienced pilots to support Air Niugini’s Airbus A220 operations for a 12‑month period, providing up to 30 pilots with up to 15 serving simultaneously in 28‑day rotations.

The pilots will fly alongside Air Niugini crews to transfer experience in A220 operations, focusing on training, operational experience and fleet transition support, while Air Niugini currently operates three A220‑300 aircraft and plans to receive eight A220‑100 aircraft from 2027.
