Aerospace 16 - airBaltic CS300 First Comercial Flight

The Bombardier C Series CS300 first scheduled commercial flight for Latvian launch carrier, airBaltic, took off from Riga to Amsterdam today (14th December, 2016). This will be the first of many flights for the new, innovative, 130 to 150-seat, CS300, taking place this year with many different airlines, and bodes well for the future.

Bombardier said it will increase the formal specifications for the C Series CS300, as the aircraft’s per seat and trip costs have already proven 2% better than its original brochure values.

“We are thrilled to be flying the first CS300 aircraft – the newest member of the most innovative and technologically advanced family of airliners in the world,” said Martin Gauss, Chief Executive Officer, airBaltic. “With its longer range capabilities, lower fuel burn and reduced noise emissions compared to other airliners in its segment, the CS300 aircraft will enable airBaltic to open new routes and connect people all across Europe, while offering passengers an unparalleled in-flight experience.

Instead of starting from the beginning of time that, usually, indicated the popularity of political Posts, I will consider, only, the statistics since the point of 10,000 views.

This places the following Posts, chronologically, into a more suitable position:
