Finnair picks Embraer over Airbus for its narrow-body fleet renewal
- Monday's statement from Finnair said it ordered 18 E195-E2 narrow-body aircraft from Embraer, moving away from Airbus in its fleet renewal.
- Facing years of upheaval, Finnair last year said it urgently needed to replace 15 older aircraft from its 29 Airbus narrow-body aircraft fleet.
- The deal includes options for 16 additional jets and purchase rights for 12, and Finnair signed with RTX's Pratt & Whitney for spare engines and maintenance services; Finnair also plans to acquire up to 12 used Airbus A320/A321.
- Chief Executive Turkka Kuusisto said 'This is 'a highly versatile aircraft and one of the quietest on the market' and that 'It will reduce our CO2 emissions by 30 percent per passenger carried', with planned investments through 2029 around 2 billion euros.
- Finnair's regional fleet includes 12 ATR 72-500s and 12 Embraer 190s, and Embraer CEO Arjan Meijer said 'We look forward to helping Finnair modernise its short-haul fleet to better match demand, reduce emissions, and unlock growth'.
