Air Baltic secures interim funding to downsize A220 fleet

The company plans to reduce its active fleet from 54 jets down to 36 by year-end, completely abandoning prior ambitions to eventually operate 100 aircraft. For aspiring airline pilots, this drastic strategic pivot underscores industry volatility and highlights how rapidly projected hiring opportunities can disappear.
