Latvia's airBaltic to wet lease a B737-900(ER)

airBaltic (BT, Riga) has announced it has wet-leased a B737-900(ER) from Ukraine International Airlines (PS, Kyiv Boryspil) under a short-term agreement.

UR-PSL (msn 36087) was ferried from Chisinau to Riga on April 27, 2022, and began operating for airBaltic on May 1, Flightradar24 ADS-B data shows. The Latvian carrier has so far deployed it to Palma de Mallorca and Berlin Brandenburg Int'l but has yet to file schedules.

"Ukraine International Airlines has been a reliable long-term partner of airBaltic. It is now a very challenging time for the Ukrainian people and their national airline. By temporarily wet-leasing their aircraft, we are also providing short term work to the employees of Ukraine International Airlines," Chief Executive Martin Gauss said.

The Ukrainian carrier has been unable to operate to and from Ukraine since the closure of the country's airspace due to the Russian invasion. It operates a limited number of charters from Chisinau and Rzeszow and has proffered all of its aircraft parked outside Ukraine for ACMI placements...
