Jun 1, 2007 (newstodate): June 2 will mark the commercial debut for Finnair's first new Airbus A340 aircraft right off the assembly line.
The maiden flight will be on the route between Helsinki and Tokyo.
This Airbus A340 is the first to arrive of three A340 ordered by Finnair in December 2005. The second aircraft will arrive from Toulouse in mid-June.
Finnair will replace its current Boeing MD-11 long-haul fleet with Airbus A340 and A330 by the end of 2010.
Since last autumn, Finnair has operated an ex-Virgin A340 on the route beween Helsinki and Shanghai to gather operational experience with the aircraft type.
