Latvia's national airline, airBaltic, has taken delivery of its second new Bombardier CS300 airliner.

After making a remarkable amount of noise about the arrival of the first new plane, part of a billion-dollar deal for a new fleet from Bombardier, the arrival of the second plane was given a more low-key welcome, with airBaltic CEO Martin Gauss tweeting an image of its path across the Atlantic from Canada to Latvia.
