Apr 04, 2019 (newstodate): Now it's flying: Finnair's second of two Airbus A350-900 deliveries in 2019 is now in the air.
The aircraft, the 14th for Finnair, performed its first flight in the test flight program prior to delivery later in April 2019, according to the plan.
Re-arranging the delivery scheme once again in 2018, one aircraft delivery was moved forward from 2023 to 2019, while another will be delivered in 2020 rather than 2022 as earlier planned.
Finnair will thus receive two aircraft in 2019, the first of which was delivered on February 13, 2019, two in 2020, two in 2021 and the last of the 19 aircraft ordered in 2022.
Earlier, the last Airbus A350 for Finnair was slated for delivery in 2023.
Finnair received its first Airbus A350 aircraft from Airbus on October 7, 2015, as the first European operator of this aircraft type.
