DEC 23, 2003 (newstodate): Taking effect from late spring 2004, Finnair has decided to acquire a sixth MD-11 for its long-haul fleet. The
agreement on the lease of the MD-11 wide-body aircraft has been signed with Boeing Capital Corporation.
As of June 2004, the additional capacity brought by the aircraft will be used to increase frequencies to Finnair's current Asian destinations.
-A fifth MD-11 was added to the Finnair fleet in the beginning of 2003 and so the newcomer will add to the number of long-haul aircraft. Next summer we will have 50 per cent more capacity in our long-haul traffic compared to early 2003, says Henrik Arle, Finnair COO and EVP Scheduled Passenger Traffic.
A quarter of Finnair passenger and cargo
revenues come from Asia meaning that it is the second largest source of income after European traffic and more significant than domestic traffic.
