JUN 30, 2004 (newstodate): Finnair Aircraft Finance Ltd and the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer have agreed on the firm order of 12 aircraft and options for a further eight.
The Embraer 170 aircraft will replace the MD-80 fleet and ATR-72 turboprop aircraft which are being retired.
The Embraer aircraft will be used in domestic and European traffic on routes and frequencies where demand is better met by an aircraft smaller than the Airbus A320s in Finnair's fleet.
The value of the firm order aircraft on the basis of the manufacturer's listed price is approximately 320 million US dollars. The aircraft now on order will be delivered to Finnair Group's Finnair Aircraft Finance Ltd between September 2005 and May 2007.
