Finnair considers 37 narrowbody replacements
Finnair is evaluating its plans for narrowbody replacements, with deliveries anticipated to begin about 2020, as 37 of the airline’s existing narrowbody fleet approach mid-life. The carrier operates a mainline fleet of 57 aircraft: 11 Airbus A350s, 9 A330s, 19 A321s, 10 A320s and 8 A319s. “On the narrowbody side, we have quite a middle-aged fleet. At this point, we are trying to think about what to do with those aircraft as they reach the end of their life. I don’t know when we’ll make the decision, but they’re mid-life, so I’d not anticipate taking any deliveries until the beginning of the next decade,” Finnair VP and group treasurer Christine Rovelli said. Finnair would be looking to replace about 37 aircraft, although they would be operated until the end of their service lives, she said. <br/>
