Finnair shows off revamped E190 cabin interiors

Finnair has shown off a cabin revamp on its Embraer 190s, which the Nordic carrier uses for regional European services. The airline states that the initial aircraft (OH-LKH) has returned to service, operated by partner carrier Nordic Regional Airlines. While retaining the E190’s 100-passenger configuration the upgrade features new seats in both business class – spanning rows one to nine – and economy, as well as LED lighting. Seven of its 12 aircraft will undergo refurbishment over the winter 2024-25 season with the rest completed by spring 2026. Finnair says the seats are lighter and, in combination with a different carpet material, contribute to a 150kg weight saving on each jet. “Our aim was to create a harmonious, fresh and inviting travel environment for our customers, with dark blue and grey colours and a hint of wooden laminate – colours our customers now associate with Finnair,” says head of in-flight customer experience Eerika Enne. Work on the initial twinjet has been carried out at Exeter in the UK.<br/>
