Finnair says the new aircraft raises the bar for
passenger comfort, environmental performance and operational efficiency.
Finnair will conduct crew familiarisation flights throughout
Europe during October before long haul A350 operations begin.
Finnair has 19 A350 aircraft on order, and expects to
receive the first four by the end of this year. Finnair plans to phase
out its A340 aircraft by the end of 2017, leaving the entire wide-body fleet
comprised of Airbus A330 and A350 aircraft.
