Fleet

SmartLynx Airlines (IATA: 6Y, ICAO: ART) is a Latvian airline established in 1992 with its main hub at Riga International Airport. The carrier has built a presence in European leisure travel and charter operations over three decades of service.

The airline operates a modern, streamlined fleet of Airbus aircraft-the A320 and A321 narrow-body jets. These twin-engine, single-aisle aircraft are ideal for European point-to-point routes, offering efficient capacity and fuel economy. The A321, a stretched variant, enables SmartLynx to serve both short-haul and medium-range destinations across the continent.

SmartLynx combines scheduled service with charter flexibility, allowing the airline to respond to seasonal demand and group travel requirements. Travelers can expect straightforward, no-frills operations designed around value and reliability, with Riga as the primary connection point for European networks.
