Finnish airline Finnair Plc said on Monday (17 September) that it will replace its Boeing MD-11 fleet with seven Airbus A330 wide body aircraft in 2009-2010.
Finnair said that it is taking advantage of the possibility to change its original order for four-engine A340 aircraft to the twin-engine A330 model.
Finnair currently has firm orders for six A330-300E model aircraft as well as four options, one of which has now been confirmed.
The acquisition is part of the fleet modernisation programme agreed with Airbus at the start of 2007, the company added.
