airBaltic (BT, Riga) had no aircraft grounded with Pratt & Whitney PW1100G engine issues in the first quarter of 2026. The airline has long suffered from reduced aircraft availability due to the powerplant woes, with as many as 13 aircraft grounded on average throughout the first quarter of 2025. The carrier said the development "supported greater operational stability and reflected continued progress in resolving the engine-related constraints that had affected deployed capacity and operating costs in previous years." airBaltic operates an all-A220-300 fleet currently comprising 55 units.
