airBaltic has unveiled the livery of its 50th Airbus A220-300 aircraft. The design was selected from a contest with 840 entries and features elements representing Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. The Latvian carrier's new livery includes an artistic depiction of a girl with flowing hair crowned by a traditional wreath, alongside the Latvian flag.
The airline launched the design contest in November 2023, allowing airBaltic Club members to vote on their favorite designs. Out of 21 shortlisted designs, the winning entry received over 30% of the votes. The final sketch was modified to meet the A220-300’s technical requirements.
Airbus Canada employees painted the livery using 21 colors over 18 days, employing a stencil overlay technique for the first time. The aircraft is expected to be registered as YL-ABX but has not yet been delivered to airBaltic. It completed its first flight on January 21 under test registration C-FPBZ and is set to join the fleet in February.
