MAY 10, 2004 (newstodate): Aero Airlines, Finnair's Estonian subsidiary will receive its next two ATR aircraft at the end of August and then its flight schedule and fleet of six aircraft will cover almost all current Finnish ATR destinations.
The remaining three ATR aircraft will be transferred from Finnair to Aero livery by the end of the year.
The fleet expansion will allow Aero Airlines to double the number of its flights within Finland as of June this year.
-Estonia's entry into the EU creates new opportunities for expanding Aero's operations on internal routes within the Baltic States, as thanks to Aero, Finnair already has a foothold in Estonia. It is not, however, possible to operate routes within the Baltic countries at Finnair's cost level, says Henrik Arle, Finnair COO.
