I know the 764 keeps getting compared to the 332 and being shorter on range, but does the wider fuselage of the 332 mean more fuel burn, or does the latter technology and extra seat make up for that extra expense? The higher cruising altitude on TATL flights of the Airbus A330-200 versus the Boeing...

Jump to post777klm wrote::confused: why not just call it the CS300 instead of BD-500-1A11?
2020 is the date mentioned in articles over the web.
Considering airBaltic is replacing its aging Boeing 737 Classic fleet with a Bombardier BD-500-1A11 one and that they are keeping their Bombardier Q400NGs, I was wondering when the last 737 will leave the airBaltic fleet and that airBaltic will become an all Bombardier equiped airline?
