Finnair modernisation to take fleet to 100 aircraft
Finnair is aiming to increase its fleet to more than 100 aircraft under a 6-year development plan which will focus on achieving a sustainable, profitable growth path. It is aiming to increase its short-haul fleet from 61 aircraft – comprising 37 Airbus single-aisle jets and 24 regional aircraft – to around 70 by 2025. Finnair will also expand its long-haul fleet from 22 aircraft to about 30. It operates 8 Airbus A330-300s and 14 A350-900s. CE Topi Manner said the carrier was embarking on a new phase of development, amounting to a "notable shift" from its previous accelerated growth. Manner says the airline is to "double down" on its strategy of serving European-Asian routes via Helsinki, by focusing on increasing frequencies to major high-yield Asian cities rather than adding new destinations. <br/>
